BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Biophysical and Biomedical Measurement Group within the Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) require a pressure-based flow control system to realize high precision flow-based measurements inside a microscale measurement system. This will enable accomplishment of this group-s mission of developing microscale measurement technology for application of detection and classification of critical minerals within semiconductor manufacturing waste streams.
Critical minerals are present in heaps of materials in domestic stockpiles of e-waste, mining waste, and byproducts of fossil fuel production. Chemical receptors (including membranes and sorbents) can capture critical mineral ions leached into solutions from waste in order to recover them for re-use or sale. When receptors bind specific ions, they often have characteristic heat signatures that correspond to the thermodynamics of the binding/release mechanism. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a technique capable of measuring these heat flow signatures via addition of precise volumes of a titrant solution to a receptor reservoir. The thermal response arising from induvial injections is integrated until a saturation point is reached and can be used to fit a curve relaying reaction stoichiometry, receptor-ion affinity, reaction enthalpy and reaction entropy. These parameters can be affected by solution characteristics including pH, presence of competing ions, solvent, etc. While ITC is traditionally a biochemical analysis technique, it has been demonstrated in inorganic/organic chemistry instances and for other areas of materials science as well.
