“…Either solid or liquid samples can be combusted with a relative high sample mass (0.5 g to 1.5 g) in comparison to other combustion methods [8]. The method has been used for the simultaneous determination of elements (Br, F, Cl, and S) in different types of samples (coal, oil, shredder residues, and diesel) and obtained a high efficiency [4], [9], [10]. Generally contamination is considered to be low, but are present in cases where the bomb is not cleaned effectively between different types of samples and if the absorbing solution contains trace elements.…”
