A seal-forming tool was used to expand the lip-seals on the lids that were placed in each vessel. The vessels were placed in a bomb jacket with caps screwed on hand-tight. The vessels were placed in
Abstract The possibility of producing UO2 powder from UO3 using microwave radiation (power 300 W) in the presence of organic compounds with amino groups: carbohydrazide (CH), acetohydroxamic (AHA), and aminoacetic (glycine) acids has been investigated. It was found that in these processes in an oxygen-free atmosphere, UO2 is …
Both quartz vessels and insert options are available for the SK-15 and MAXI-44 rotors. Quartz is the ultimate vessel material for ultra-trace analysis, since it can be cleaned more effectively, and has lower background levels than even extra …
A moderate microwave digestion system with optional disposable inserts. Digest more samples in less time with MARSXpress vessels and optional disposable Teflon, Glass, or Quartz inserts. ... Vessel inserts offer a convenient way to process samples with little to no vessel cleaning. The choice of insert will depend upon digestion temperature and ...
A procedure was developed for preparing powders of solid solutions of uranium dioxide with 3 or 10 wt % Ce (as Am surrogate) from nitric acid solutions using microwave radiation.
The experimental results show that microwave assisted thermal denitration process has obvious advantages for the conversion of HEU compared with other processes such as sol–gel process and precipitation process. ... this is because that the denitration can be accomplished in the same vessel. So the microwave denitration is a perspective ...

A family of microwave digestion application notes covering a wide range of categories (environmental, food, mining, petroleum, etc.) is available. They describe microwave digestion of samples in a closed vessel environment. These application notes can be used as the first step to create your own sample digestion methods.
Microwave power programs used for (a) HF evaporation and (b) soil digestion.As mentioned above, two different MW power programs were developed in the present work. Figure 2a show the power program used for all HF evaporation cycles and the first preliminary digestion tests, while Figure 2b reports the MW program involved in the validated protocol for the dissolution of the …

The digestion vessels are made from high-purity quartz; only the seal at the top of the vessel is made from PTFE. Simultaneous digestion of a maximum of two samples can be achieved. More recently, Anton Paar introduced the Multiwave MW-digestion system (1000 W with unpulsed power control, 2.45 GHz) [79], marketed by Perkin–Elmer.
In this paper, the denitration process was studied by depressing the pressure inside the vessel where the solution is denitrated. Intermediate and final products were characterized.
