APPENDIX B Equipment and Testing Protocols This appendix describes the spectroscopic equipment and testing protocols used in the preimplementation Phase 4 of this project. The testing protocols include procedures for the preparation of samples, acquisition of data, and interpretation of results for the following two methods: • Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy • X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy Below is a more detailed discussion of these methods and their corresponding experimental protocols.
