Decomposition system, AOD1

AOD 1 is used for oxidative decomposition of organic samples under pressure in a closed system.

• Quantitative decomposition of all halogens, sulfur, as well as volatile metals e.g. As and Hg
• Absorption of the combustion products in an aqueous medium
• Catalytic support of the oxidation process with auto-regenerating catalytic surfaces

Pressure vessel of high-grade stainless steel.

Decomposition temperature up to 1200 °C
Maximum operating pressure during decomposition: 195 bar
Decomposition time <3 minutes

The decomposition vessel can be changed over to use combustible crucibles C 14.

Control standards for Cl, S, F and Br.

Introduction of the combustion gases into the absorption solution via venting station C 7030.

 : The system consists of AOD 1 decomposition vessel, C 48 oxygen station, AOD 1.2 external ignition unit, AOD 1.11 control standard (50 ml).
