title: Comparison between Microwave Digestion and Conventional Open Digestion Method for Heavy Metals determination
abstract: In the present study a comparison between microwave assisted digestion and conventional wet acid open digestion system for dissolution of bivalve tissue samples was carried out. Sample matrix decomposition was done by using a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The determination of trace elements (Zn, Co, Cu, Cd and Pb) in commercially popular bivalve species from two important fish landing centers in Mumbai was used for this purpose. The recovery of heavy metals after ana
