Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the focused microwave technique in an open system for the rapid dissolution of elements in fly ash and filter cakes, in comparison to conventional wet and
dry methods. The method involved 15 minutes of heating in microwave system in 2 N nitric or hydrochloric acid. It was tested on different types of samples and led to the dissolution of Ca, Na, K, Zn, Pb, As with 2 N HNO3 or HCl and Cd, Hg with 2 N HNO3 for subsequent determination by atomic emission or absorption spectrometry. Thereby this method represents a rapid sample
preparation technique for chemical analyses.
