How Ash Furnace Works?
Ash furnaces are specialized equipment designed to facilitate the ashing process. They work by subjecting prepared samples to controlled high-temperature environments in the presence of air. The samples are placed within a chamber with isolated interior with fire bricks, and the furnace is heated/programmed to the desired temperature. During this heating process, organic compounds in the sample combust as they react with the oxygen in the air, leaving behind only the inorganic components as ash. The furnace's precise temperature control ensures accurate ashing, adhering to international standards for reliable results. This combustion and ashing process is a critical step in various analytical and research applications, including determining the composition of materials and assessing their suitability for specific purposes.
