Abstract: | This paper summarizes several key points in applying the microwave preparation technique to the elemental analysis of aquatic
sediments and reports systematic experiments in searching for an optimal microwave preparation procedure for element analysis
in sediment samples. The determination of the elements Cu, Pb and Cd in a standard reference aquatic sediment sample (CRM
280, COMEUR) was achieved by first digesting the samples in a microwave oven equipped with PFA advanced composite vessels,
followed by AAS measurement. The influence of microwave power, digestion time, various dissolution reagents and the HF removing
conditions was studied. It has been shown that for a 0.1 g sediment sample the optimal microwave preparation conditions are:
4–5ml HNO3/HF/H2O2 as solvent, digesting time 30 min with 100% microwave power and evaporating the residual acid within 8 min in an open vessel
at 80 °C. The element recovery rates with AAS measurement can reach up to 92.4–100.6%.
