Analysis of heavy metals in wastewater

Write down your topic.

CONCEPT 2 CONCEPT 3CONCEPT 1

Then break it up into CONCEPTS.

2. Think of KEY WORDS that describe each of your concepts :

CONCEPT 1

•ANALYSIS

•DETERMINATION

•MEASUREMENT

CONCEPT 2

•HEAVY METALS

•COPPER

•NICKEL

•LEAD

CONCEPT 3

•WASTEWATER

•EFFLUENT

Analysis of heavy metals in wastewater

3. Use Boolean operators to structure your search query:

THERE ARE 3 BOOLEAN OPERATORS:

AND OR NOT

Use AND to combine different concepts

:heavy metals AND wastewater

AND

Articles on heavy metals in waste waterUsing AND will make

your results smaller

The INTERSECTION of your

two sets will contain articles

dealing with BOTH concepts

Use OR to enter keywords for

the same concept :

heavy metals OR nickel OR copper

Using OR will

increase the number of results

OR

OR

OR

The UNION of your three sets

will contain articles dealing

with ANY of your concepts

The NOT operator reduces the number of results

metals NOT lead

Use NOT to get rid of unwanted results

NOT

The COMPLEMENT

contains NO articles

on the unwanted topic
