A Metrohm brochure entitled 'RoHS Analysis' describes methods and instrumentation for the safe and accurate quantification of the substances regulated by the RoHS 2009/95/EC directive.
The RoHS 2009/95/EC directive limits the maximum content of hazardous substances allowed in electric and electronic products.
'RoHS Analysis' describes wet-chemical methods to determine heavy chemical metal traces, polybrominated bipyhenyls (PBBs) and diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), as well as methods for the simultaneous determination of halogenated compounds in solid and liquid combustible samples.
Methods described include stable voltammetry, ion chromatography and the combination of combustion and ion chromatography (combustion IC).
The brochure also refers to the straightforward determination of hazardous species of heavy metals such as chromium (VI) using voltammetry.
'RoHS Analysis' is targeted at anyone involved in chemical analysis to check compliance with the RoHS directive.
