Application of SRC Digestion to Advanced Materials

Today, advanced materials are widely used in many areas such as energy and industrial production; their use in new types of batteries is a perfect example. The elemental composition of these materials is critical as it defines their properties, quality, and performance. These materials are often designed to be durable and resist chemical attack. Achieving complete digestion is therefore complex and requires extreme digestion conditions. Traditional digestion approaches are often limited in terms of maximum temperature, pressure, and time.
SRC technology opens a new way of dealing with difficult-to-digest samples, making it possible to achieve higher temperatures and pressures, maintain them reliably over a longer time, and reduce the stress on the digestion vessels, thereby increasing their lifetime and lowering analysis costs.
