Decades of Digestions – 1990s
Digestion methods improve
Environmental Express introduces HotBlockTM Digestion Systems
![Page 6: Environmental Express Webinar HotBlock Systems – Precision Heat with Various Uses 12/08/15.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051216/5697bfde1a28abf838cb1eae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Metals-free construction eliminates contamination source
Temperature uniformity results in time-based digestions vs. volume-based digestions
Samples of similar matrices finish digesting at the same time
Single use digestion supplies eliminate glassware, sample transfer steps, and multiple contamination sources
Benefits of Using HotBlock™ Digestion Systems

HotBlock
Most basic application is heated digestion of samples
Metals digestions
‘Block Digesters’ are specifically mentioned in 200.2, 200.5, 200.7, and 200.8

HotBlock
Other digestions
Phosphorous – 365.1
Cr6+ - 3060A/7196A
Nitrogen – Alkaline persulfate digestions SM4500N-C
Mercury – 245.1

HotBlock – Industrial Hygiene
GhostWipe Lead and Beryllium
Method requires ‘rigid walled container’ for transport
![Page 12: Environmental Express Webinar HotBlock Systems – Precision Heat with Various Uses 12/08/15.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051216/5697bfde1a28abf838cb1eae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some methods require stirring or agitation while heating
HotBlock & StirBase allow for multiple samples to be heated and stirred at once
Hexavalent Chromium by SW846 3060A
ASTM F963 – Lead in toys
Stirring Capabilities
![Page 13: Environmental Express Webinar HotBlock Systems – Precision Heat with Various Uses 12/08/15.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051216/5697bfde1a28abf838cb1eae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adds some automation to the digestion process.
Controller allows for ramping, soaking, changes in temperature, and automatic shut-off.
Can control up to 2 HotBlock Pro blocks at once.

HotBlock - Distillations
SimpleDist
Suitable for ammonia and cyanide distillation
Phenol currently in development
Basic 12 place block Fits other 50 mL
HotBlock systems
Eliminates cooling water and most glassware

HotBlock – Organic Extractions Soil-Cell System
Based on SW-846 3546 Utilizes a HotBlock rather
than a microwave Stainless steel cells
contain the soil and solvent mixture
Creates same temperature and pressure conditions in the cell that the microwave creates in it’s cells
Working with EPA on global acceptance of apparatus

Custom HotBlocks Custom blocks are available Must fit into existing graphite footprint –
12”x12” or 12”x18” Send us sample vessel to measure May require one time additional tooling fee
Examples ISM Multiple cup sizes in one block Centrifuge tubes

There are times when a HotBlock is not feasible
Hot plate allows for larger digestion vessels such as beakers
Important to keep the same type of construction and heating technology in the hot plate as the HotBlock for the best performance
Special Digestions
