Technical Principles

The foundation of the detection lies in the principle of identifying and quantifying heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic in biomass. through a combination of wet chemical digestion and advanced analytical techniques, ensuring that even trace elements are accurately detected.

Technical Means

Analytical arsenal encompasses a range of technologies, including but not limited to:

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting a broad range of elements.
  • Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), both flame and graphite furnace, for reliable metal quantification.
  • X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) for non-destructive, multi-element analysis.

Technical Classification

Services are classified based on the specificity of detection needs:

  • Qualitative Analysis: Identifying the presence of heavy metals without quantifying them.
  • Quantitative Analysis: Measuring the exact concentration of heavy metals, essential for regulatory compliance and environmental assessments.

Application Areas

  • Environmental monitoring to track heavy metal pollution in soil and water.
  • Agricultural sector to ensure the safety of crops and the soil they are grown in.
  • Waste management for the safe disposal of biomass contaminated with heavy metals.
  • Bioenergy industry to certify the purity of biomass used for energy production.

Environmental Benefits

  • Facilitating the safe disposal of biomass, preventing heavy metal release into the environment.
  • Supporting the circular economy by promoting the recycling and valorization of contaminated biomass into valuable resources, such as biochar with immobilized metals.
