A novel, automated on-line pressurized sample digestion system based on electromagnetic induction heating technique was developed to perform solid sample decomposition in acid medium. The efficiency of acid digestion was increased with 0.36 MPa pressure built up in-line by a 0.5 mm id  25 m length flow restrictor and up to approximately 135 C reaction temperature. The system's performance was evaluated for on-line digestion of edible seaweeds and subsequent determination of mercury by cold vapor generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
