Shared Facilities for Environmental Chemistry

The CECG has supported a portion of the Intercollegiate Mass Spectometry Facility which provides high resolution mass spectral analysis of samples on a cost recovery basis to University affiliates. The CECG also supports a high-resolution ICP-MS. Additional analytical facilities are available to the CECG through sister centers of the EMS Energy Institute (Carbon Research Center, Combustion Laboratory, Coal Utilization Center, Laboratory for Hydrocarbon Process Chemistry) and those available through collaboration with other programs and Centers within the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (Fuel Science Program, Geosciences Department, the Material Characterization Laboratory ) and within the Eberly College of Science (Chemistry Department). The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectorscopy is housed in the Chemistry Department as well. Analytical facilities on campus are also housed in the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Engineering.
