Chemistry room: alkaline fusion
Mise en solution par fusion alcaline The technique uses fluxing agents : Mixing: fluxing agent/sample, lowers the melting point of the sample. The main fluxing agents contain borates: LiBO2 / sample powder. Melting is generally done in graphite crucibles using a magnetic induction furnace. The obtained bead is dissolved in an acidified solution (HNO3 1%).…
