I request an extension of my scholarship, my registration number is 387016, I´m doing my PhD at the University of Windsor in Ontario Canada. The reason for a scholarship extension is due to forces outside of me, related to the availability of instruments required for the development of my thesis as well as emerging issues during the research process of the thesis and that are necessary to be address. The extension of the thesis would allow me to conclude with a complete and well-done thesis. Most of my thesis is completed (approximately 80%), including optimized enzymatic treatment processes for different substrates, statistical analysis, determination of possible toxic products after treatment, among others. During the realization of the thesis questions arose that had to be solved in order to have a complete research. These unknowns were not contemplated from the beginning since it was not expected to have such results so it is now necessary to sustain and explain …show more content…

Once the method was establish, several samples were tried to identify products accurately to find the evidence for azo splitting. We obtained, some positive results but further measurements should be done to ensure the results, and get a better identification of other products. The first measurements yielded results that indicated that it would be necessary to modify something during the process in order to obtain greater clarity and to improve the sensitivity of the process, since although positive results were obtained they were not conclusive. This required a team called collector of sample fractions, so it took me a while to learn how to use it and apply it to my samples. It is necessary to clarify that the instruments that I use for the measurements are shared by other students which implies to make arrangements to be able to use them reducing the time that can be dedicated to
