Digestion (a combination of MF-2 and MF-4): Samples are dried at 50°C after which As, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, S and Zn are digested with a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide in sealed teflon containers in a microwave system and determined. Other elements are determined after ashing at 550°C, fusion with lithium metaborate and dissolution of the fusion residue in dilute nitric acid. Delivery time: approximately 10-15 workdays. |
