IV. Description of Accomplishment

DAY ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN

 Orientation on CHE30A and

November 14, 2018 consultation with Dr. Mary Ann
Pandan regarding thesis topic

November 15, 2018  Consultation with thesis adviser,

Engr. Chester Mellina

 Preparation of Market Study on iron

(II,III) oxide nanoparticles (in depth
research on product demand, product
supply, demand-supply analysis,
price study, and marketing program)

November 16, 2018  Presentation of Market Study on iron

(II, III) oxide nanoparticles

Novmber 17-19, 2018  Further research on the market

demand of iron (II, III) oxide
nanoparticles focusing on chrome-
plating industries as target market

November 20, 2018  Consultation with thesis adviser,

Engr. Chester Mellina

 Research on other possible plant

design topics with available market
data

V. Technical Matters and Problems Encountered

1. In as much as the group had wanted to pursue the research study for plant design, there
are insufficient data regarding market demands specifically for iron (II, III) oxide
nanoparticles which makes it difficult for the group to complete the market study.
VI. Action Taken Relative to the Problem Encountered
1. The group has been deciding to seek a new topic for plant design which has enough
available data which can support the market study.
VII. Suggestions/Recommendations
1. There should be enough free, accessible resources with data on market analysis of
iron (II, III) oxide nanoparticles.
