AOD 1 decomposition system: a high-performance, safe solution for laboratories
IKA's AOD 1 decomposition system is specifically designed to meet the needs of laboratories requiring safe and efficient oxidative decomposition of solid and liquid samples. Operating under pressure in a fully enclosed system, it allows for safe handling and rigorous preparation of samples for further analysis. Thanks to its cutting-edge technology and high-quality construction materials, the AOD 1 ensures reproducible results even in the most demanding applications.
This device consists of several essential components that work together to ensure optimal sample decomposition. The high-performance stainless steel AOD 1.1 decomposition vessel, combined with the C 48 oxygen station, provides a controlled environment for combustion. The external ignition unit AOD 1.2 allows the reaction to be initiated remotely, thus increasing operator safety. For complete and safe use, the system requires a protective device for sample ignition.
The AOD 1 stands out for its ability to perform quantitative decomposition of all halogens, sulphur and volatile metals such as arsenic and mercury. The combustion products are efficiently absorbed in an aqueous medium, enabling safe treatment of the by-products. In addition, the catalytic inner surface of the container, which is capable of automatic regeneration, supports the oxidation process and extends the service life of the device.
Designed to withstand extreme conditions, the system allows decomposition at temperatures up to 1200°C and a maximum operating pressure of 195 bar. This robustness, combined with high precision, makes the AOD 1 an essential piece of equipment for research laboratories, academic institutions and industries requiring detailed analysis of complex samples.
The system is modular and can be adapted to existing installations. If a protective device is already in place, the AOD 1.3 remote ignition head accessory can be added. If not, the AOD 1.3 protective device accessory is recommended to ensure optimal safety when igniting samples. This flexibility makes the AOD 1 particularly suitable for a variety of environments and experimental protocols.
