Thomas Simonyi of the Office of Research and Development at the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory use a thermogravimetric analyzer to analyze heavy metals to determine their suitability for making thin-film sensors for natural gas. The furnace module of the instrument is in the open position, exposing the quartz weighing bucket. The bucket has been tarred and is ready to receive sample material. The research is looking at heavy metals from the platinum group, including platinum, palladium, tantalum, and ruthenium.
