| abstract |
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for carrying out a wet chemical reaction on a succession of samples, using microwave heating. The apparatus comprises a circuit (1) comprising a reaction chamber (2) placed in a microwave application cavity (3) and, with reference to the direction of movement of the sample in the circuit (1) , upstream of the reaction chamber (2), a line (4) for supplying samples, a line (5) for introducing at least one reagent, a line (6) for supplying liquid rinsing, each conduit (4, 5, 6) being provided with a valve (8, 9, 10) and, downstream of the reaction chamber (2), a conduit (7) for output of the reaction product.n n n The method and the apparatus are particularly intended for carrying out mineralization reactions. |
