Preferred Label : bomb-digestion;
Detailed label : bomb-digestion in spectrochemical analysis;
IUPAC acronym : PTFE;
IUPAC definition : Materials which are not fully dissolved by acid-digestion at atmospheric pressure
may require a more vigorous treatment in pressure vessels lined with polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) glass, silica or vitreous (glassy) carbon or in sealed silica tubes; this treatment
is called bomb-digestion. The test sample and acids are heated in such a closed vessel,
so that the digestion is carried out at higher temperature and pressure.;
