Data for "Evaluation of Zirconium-89 Complexes for Spatio-Temporal Imaging of Soil-Water Flow via Positron Emission Tomography" project

The datasets represent the raw data obtained during research activities and used for writing the PhD thesis "Evaluation of Zirconium-89 Complexes for Spatio-Temporal Imaging of Soil-Water Flow via Positron Emission Tomography".

The contents of the datasets are described below:

1. Stability and adsorbtion summary: presents the results of the interaction and stability tests performed on [89Zr]Zr-complexes. These tests were conducted in the presence of quartz sand and kaolin to assess their behaviour under specific conditions. Detailed descriptions of the experimental procedures, including the methodologies and analytical approaches employed, are provided in Sections 3.1.7, 3.1.8, 4.7.2, and 4.7.3 of the thesis.
2. Elution from the sand columns: contains the gamma counter results obtained from the infiltration test conducted in a medium filled with quartz sand. A comprehensive explanation of the experimental setup, methodology, and parameters can be found in Section 3.3.2 of the thesis.
3. Elution from the sand and kaolin column: contains the gamma counter results obtained from the infiltration test conducted in a layered system. This system consisted of a kaolin layer positioned between two layers of sand, simulating a stratified environment. The experimental setup, methodology, and analysis of this infiltration test are described in detail in Sections 3.3.4, 6.3.4, and 6.4.3 of the thesis. These sections provide comprehensive insights into the design and execution of the experiment as well as the interpretation of the results.
4. PET data: The document contains data on the activity elution profiles obtained from columns filled with quartz sand of varying particle sizes, as well as columns with a kaolin layer positioned between layers of sand. The results for each column are presented on separate sheets within the document. These measurements were acquired during PET scans and are thoroughly detailed in Section 3.3.5 and Chapter 6 of the thesis. The recorded activity values were subsequently used to calculate the mean velocity of the tracer, in accordance with the methodologies outlined in Sections 6.3.3 and 6.3.4. This data constitutes a crucial aspect of the analysis, providing insights into tracer transport dynamics under varying experimental conditions.
