Sample preparation: Fusion
|
Prepares:
• Solutions for AA, ICP, and wetchemistry analysis
Specially designed for:
• Fusing samples in sodium peroxide, sodium carbonate, and potassium pyrosulfate
Processes:
• Highly refractory compounds such as chromite, magnetite, ilmenite, rutile, silicon, and siliconcarbide
• Materials with high sulfide contents
• Noble metals
During the fusion process, the crucibles rock back and forth to mix the contents, thus enhancing heating efficiency and ensuring homogenous melting.
When the fusion process is complete, the gas is automatically shut off, the crucibles return to their initial horizontal position and fans start working to speed up the cooling reaction.
Crucibles can continue the rocking motion for a few minutes, if wanted.
The whole crucible is finally dunked into a suitable acid, which quickly dissolves the produced salts. The solution can now be diluted to the desired volume, and analysis can begin.
