Estimating the term…
A combination for carrying out microwave assisted reactions is disclosed, such as acid digestion and solvent extraction. The combination includes a microwave transparent pressure-resistant reaction vessel and a flexible film fluoropolymer liner inside the reaction vessel. The flexible film liner has a size and shape that substantially conforms to the inner walls of the reaction vessel. A pressure-relief closure is positioned on the reaction vessel and the flexible film liner, and an infrared temperature detector that operates in wavelengths (frequencies) to which both the reaction vessel and the flexible liner are transparent, so that an exact fit and conductive heating to the outside of the reaction vessel are not required.
A combination for carrying out microwave assisted reactions, comprising:
A method for digestion in strong mineral acids comprising the steps of:
A method of assembling a disposable liner and a pressure resistant reaction vessel prior to carrying out a digestion reaction, the method comprising:
An assembly tool for the combination of a flexible film fluoropolymer liner and a microwave transparent pressure resistant reaction vessel said assembly tool comprising:
A circumferential annual spring for exerting an inward radial force against said tapered tool fingers.
A method for microwave assisted extraction comprising the steps of:
