- Abstract
- The first quarter of this year has been devoted to completion of a number of projects which remained unfinished for one reason or another. A new furnace (PRC) has been put into operation. It is our intention to use this new large furnace to complete concentration-response curves started in the small furnace but unfinished because of the large sample sized required. In order to do this, it is first necessary to determine whether the results from the two furnaces can be combined on a single curve. By running parallel experiments with several materials in both furnaces, we have found that the e results are comparable.
