Melt digestion for XRF – Using the example of the production and X-ray fluorescence analysis of melting tablets from fly ash samples

This application note in English describes safe melt digestion without gas in the laboratory using the example of the production and X-ray fluorescence analysis of melting tablets from fly ash samples. The production of melting tablets for X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) or acid digestion for ICP analysis (ICP-AES, ICP-OES or ICP-MS) is one of the standard methods for sample preparation in the field of cement and binders.
