Metals in fuels, ash and flue gas

 
 
 
MG-2 Metals in ash (after acid digestion/fusion)
LOI Sum of oxides
SiO2 Al2O3 CaO Fe2O3 K2O
MgO MnO2 Na2O P2O5 TiO2
As (3) Ba (2) Be (0.5) Cd (0.1) Co (0.08)
Cr (10) Cu (1) Hg (0.01) Mo (5)  
Nb (5) Ni (0.5) Pb (1) S (80) Sc (1)
Sn (20) Sr (2) V (2) W (50) Y (2)
Zn (4) Zr (2)      
Accredited analyses are marked in bold. Figures in brackets denote limits of quantification in mg/kg dry weight. Minimum sample amount: 5 g dry matter. Price includes digestion. Delivery time: 10-15 days.

 

 

MG-2 may be supplemented with the additional elements.

For the determination of B, an additional fee for the dissolution is charged.

Digestion: For the determination of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, S and Zn, the sample is dried at 50°C and dissolved in nitric acid/hydrochloric acid/hydrofluoric acid in a closed teflon vessel in a microwave oven (concentrations corrected to dry weight 105°C). Other elements are determined after fusion with lithium metaborate followed by dissolution in dilute nitric acid.

Additional costs for sample preparation may occur.

Digestion using 7M nitric acid can alternatively be performed in autoclave. Please contact the laboratory for more information.

As (0.08) Ba (0.1) Be (0.03) Cd (0.005) Co (0.005)
Cr (0.5) Cu (0.1) Hg (0.01) Mo(0.3)  
Nb (0.3) Ni (0.04) Pb (0.04) S (8) Sc (0.05)
Sn (1) Sr (2) V (0.1) W (2.5) Y (0.1)
Zn (0.2) Zr (0.1)      
Accredited analyses are marked in bold. Figures in brackets denote limits of quantification in mg/kg dry weight (ash content = 5%). Minimum sample amount: 50 g dry matter. Price includes digestion. Contact the laboratory for further information. Delivery time: 10-15 days.
 

MG-3 may be supplemented with additional elements.
