Analysis
Ash, Loss on Ignition and Moisture Analysis
Gravimetric determination of ash content, loss on ignition, inorganic residue and moisture using a muffle furnace and a halogen moisture analyser.
In short
Gravimetric determination of ash content, loss on ignition, inorganic residue and moisture using a muffle furnace and a halogen moisture analyser. Ash, loss on ignition and moisture analysis is performed gravimetrically using a CLS Scientific CLMF-1280 muffle furnace and a Shimadzu MOC63u halogen moisture analyser.
Ash, loss on ignition and moisture analysis is performed gravimetrically using a CLS Scientific CLMF-1280 muffle furnace and a Shimadzu MOC63u halogen moisture analyser. The sample is heated under a controlled programme to the specified final temperature (typically 550–950 °C) and the inorganic residue after combustion of organic matter is weighed; moisture is determined on the halogen balance by drying to constant mass. This answers questions such as filler content in polymers and composites, ash in biomass and fuels, dry matter and minerals in food and feed, organic matter in soils and sediments, and loss on ignition in ceramic and mineral raw materials. The service supports raw material acceptance, formulation verification, process control and supplier auditing in plastics, rubber, composites, food, feed, cement, ceramics, energy and environmental sectors and academic groups.

How it works
Request and scoping
Sample type, the standard or customer method to be applied, final temperature and reported parameters are agreed with you.
Sample reception and preparation
Samples are logged, homogenised and weighed on an analytical balance into crucibles previously brought to constant mass.
Measurement
The defined temperature programme is run in the muffle furnace and the residue weighed after desiccator cooling; moisture is determined on the halogen balance to constant mass.
Reporting
Results are presented in the standard analysis report; supporting technical documentation is shared on request.
