Abstract

A) James Farnan was added as a co-author. B) The following chapters must be added at the section: Supplemental Information/The hybrid Extraction method/2. Sediment collections/2.2 Experimental procedure/2.2.4 Density separation: 2.2.4.6 Halfway through the settling period, transfer any settled sediment into a new separatory funnel. Place a new 1-L separatory funnel in upright position and make sure funnel is closed. Slowly open the valve at the bottom of the separatory funnel and empty the sediments into a new separatory funnel. Retain for later use. 2.2.4.7 Allow the sediments in the original separatory funnel to continue settling for the remaining time. The water column should be mostly clear, with the exception of floating debris at the solution surface. 2.2.4.8 If sediment is very fine or has not settled completely, allow to settle for additional time after emptying sediments into a new funnel and before filtering. This could be anywhere from 10 min to 1 h, then empty the settled sediments into the same funnel as 2.4.6. Replace chapter 2.6.3, by the following amended text: Place separatory funnel in ring stand and use remaining 20–100 mL NaBr solution to rinse the inside of the stopper and the inner walls of the separatory funnel. The goal is to remove any debris stuck to the inner wall of the separatory funnel. Let settle for 2 h, or longer until clearly defined water column separates from sediment. Repeat steps 2.2.4.5–2.2.4.8. C) James Farnan has been added to the list of authors for his contribution to the paper and changes made.
