Elemental analysis of chemical wastes by oxygen bomb combustion-ion chromatography

Removal of brominated flame retardant from electrical and electronic waste plastic by solvothermal technique

“…The oxygen bomb combustion-IC was applied for the analysis of bromine content in raw plastic and solid phase after solvothermal treatment [22,23]. In a typical run, 10 mL Milli-Q water (Millipore, USA) was transferred to the bomb with moistening of its inner surface.…”

Development and Evaluation of a Novel Sulphur Analysis Method

“…Either solid or liquid samples can be combusted with a relative high sample mass (0.5 g to 1.5 g) in comparison to other combustion methods [8]. The method has been used for the simultaneous determination of elements (Br, F, Cl, and S) in different types of samples (coal, oil, shredder residues, and diesel) and obtained a high efficiency [4], [9], [10]. Generally contamination is considered to be low, but are present in cases where the bomb is not cleaned effectively between different types of samples and if the absorbing solution contains trace elements.…”

Feasibility of sulfur determination in diesel oil by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry after microwave-induced combustion using flame retardant

“…Due to the high temperature during combustion (>1000°C) complete oxidation of sample matrix can be achieved, resulting also in low residual carbon content (RCC) [25]. Classical combustion is normally performed in bombs or oxygen flasks [25,26].…”

“…Due to the high temperature during combustion (>1000°C) complete oxidation of sample matrix can be achieved, resulting also in low residual carbon content (RCC) [25]. Classical combustion is normally performed in bombs or oxygen flasks [25,26]. Both systems present some advantages mainly related to sample ignition and low risk of contamination, respectively [25,27].…”
