Novel rapid decomposition and dissolution method for silicates using a mixed POTASSIUM METABORATE (cas 16481-66-6)/potassium carbonate flux

Add time:08/07/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A novel method for the rapid dissolution of fused silicates in mineral acid is described. Fusion with 2.5 g of a KBO2-K2CO3 (3:2, w/w) mixture in a platinum crucible at 1000 °C will decompose 0.1 g of silicate samples such as basalt rock, glass sand and powdered glass in 10 min, and the cooled fusion cakes can be completely dissolved by 20 ml of 3 N mineral acids such as hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acids in less than 1 min at about 50 °C. Fusion with 5.0 g of a KBO2-K2CO3 (3:2, w/w) mixture can completely decompose 0.1 g of chrome refractory in 20 min and the cooled melt can be dissolved by 80 ml of 3 N hydrochloric or sulfuric acids in less than 30 s.
