The ashing method uses high temperature to remove organic matter from the sample, and the remaining ash is dissolved in acid as the sample solution to be tested. This method is applicable for the determination of samples with high organic content, such as food and plant samples, but not for the determination of soil and mineral samples. Most metal element content analysis is suitable for dry ashing, but under high temperature conditions, mercury, lead, cadmium, tin, selenium and other volatile losses are not applicable. The main advantages of this method are: the ability to handle large sample sizes, simple operation, and safety.
