Steel increases in rigidity when it contains boron and other impurities, but too many impurities can make it brittle. Therefore, managing the impurity content is extremely important in the production of high-quality steel. As an analytical method, the nitric acid-hydrochloric acid (aqua regia) decomposition is commonly used, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and generates a significant amount of harmful acid decomposition gases, making it difficult to safely and rapidly process multiple samples. To address this, we examined the automatic pretreatment using nitric acid-hydrochloric acid (water) for impurity analysis in iron and steel with DEENA2, which can perform tasks such as acid addition, stirring, and dilution control fully automatically via PC control. As a result, we were able to automate tasks that were previously done manually. Additionally, we successfully reduced human exposure to the acid decomposition gases. ■ Purpose ■ Overview ■ Keywords ■ Equipment Used ■ Analysis Flow ■ Results *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This document introduces the examination of fully automated pretreatment methods using sulfuric acid and nitric acid in the "Ministerial Ordinance on Standards for Ingredients of Milk and Dairy Products" and "Standards for Foods and Additives" using "DEENA3." The pretreatment methods for non-mineral water soft drinks involve complicated reagent addition operations during acid digestion, making them very labor-intensive. Additionally, the use of acidic reagents such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid poses exposure risks to humans, making the analysis hazardous.

In materials such as batteries and semiconductor materials, silica as an impurity can lead to a decrease in product performance, necessitating separation and analysis. Silica contained in steel above a certain amount can be analyzed by the weight method specified by JIS, but this method has been complicated and has accuracy issues. Therefore, our company has devised a method to separate silica contained in samples as a gas, collect it in an absorbent solution, and measure it using molybdenum blue through a continuous flow analysis method. This document presents the results of our study titled "Separation and Analysis of Low Concentration Silica Using Continuous Flow Analysis Equipment (STAA-3) in Semiconductor Materials, Tantalum, Niobium, Steel, etc." in an easy-to-understand manner. *For more details, please see the download button.

Regarding the cadmium contained in rice, the standard limit was previously set at 1 ppm (mg/kg), but in April 2010, a revision was issued to amend part of the standards for food and food additives, changing the limit for cadmium and its compounds in rice (both brown and white rice) to 0.4 ppm (mg/kg) or less. Traditionally, wet digestion methods using nitric acid, sulfuric acid, or perchloric acid have been employed; however, these methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to process multiple samples quickly. Therefore, we examined the automatic pretreatment of rice (both brown and white) and rice ears using the nitric acid reflux method with DEENA2, which can perform tasks such as acid addition, stirring, and dilution under PC control in a fully automated manner. - Acid addition heating pretreatment - Reagent addition - Cooling - Dilution - Prevention of human exposure to acids *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
