Research project: Development of detector for the characterisation of liquids

Abstract

Liquid Identification and characterisation.

Electromagnetic radiation has been widely used in laboratories for the characterization of substances. For instance UV has been applied in recent studies by Worsfold and Zagatto; IR by Käppler et al., NMR or radio waves by Malz and Jancke. Among the techniques commonly used for characterization purposes, there is very limited application of waves with low frequency. In contrast, in other fields of study such type of waves are more widely used such as in seabead exploration and health applications . The research in this Masters aims to contribute to the development of a novel technique for the identification and quantification of substances in liquids based on the differential effect of properties of the liquid on acoustic waves travelling through the liquid.
