Microwave-Induced Combustion Digestion of Petroleum Coke Samples
Researchers at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (Santa Maria, Brazil) and Centro de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento Leopold Americo Miguez de Mello-CENPES/PETROBAS (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) analyzed chloride in petroleum coke samples using microwave-induced combustion followed by ion chromatography.
Researchers at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (Santa Maria, Brazil) and Centro de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento Leopold Americo Miguez de Mello-CENPES/PETROBAS (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) analyzed chloride in petroleum coke samples using microwave-induced combustion followed by ion chromatography. The digestion took place in closed vessels with samples pressed as pellets and placed on a quartz holder. The researchers used an oxygen pressure of 2 Mpa and a 50-µL volume of 6 M ammonium nitrate as an ignition aid for combustion.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
