Oxide – Quartz Fusion Fuse in Pt crucible with Na₂CO₃
Geological Samples Fusion + acid dissolution Fuse in Pt crucible with Na₂CO₃, dissolve fuseate in HCl
Organic Matrices (silicates / non-volatiles) Ashing + acid dissolution or fusion - Dry ash at 450°C in Pt crucible, gently warm with 1:1:1 H₂O / HF / H₂SO₄
- Or fuse/ash with Na₂CO₃, dissolve fuseate with HCl / H₂O
Silicone Oils Alkaline or oxidative breakdown + dissolution - Avoid direct organic analysis (leads to false highs from volatile monomers)
