In the past years, the demand of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) determination in electronic components has been dramatically increased. Cr VI is widely used in manufacturing of electronics thanks to its anticorrosive proprieties, although it is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Its determination in disposal electronic waste is pivotal and mandatory in many countries to protect the environment from hazardous contaminants. Our application specialists have done several tests to develop a method in full compliance with IEC 62321-7-2: 2017.

Milestone's priority is to provide a safe environment for our employees, their families, and the communities in which we operate.
We have asked our employees to adopt all the safety measures at work to reduce transmission risks and to keep them safe. All our sites remain open, and we have taken additional precautions to protect our workforce. This includes appropriate screening and social distancing, availability of personal protective equipment, increased cleaning and disinfection and restricted access for visitors.
Internal and external events have been rescheduled virtually, while all our manufacturing sites are operating at normal capacity.

We are glad to inform you of the publication of a new paper title "Evaluation of recycle and reuse of nitric acid from sample digests by sub-boiling #distillation" has just been published on Microchemical Journal. In short, the article shows that #acid #digestion waste can be #recycled (through a sub-boiling #purification process) and reused, without compromising the quality of the analytical results, with clear benefits in costs and for the #environmental health.

We are glad to inform you of the release of the new Milestone book titled: Sample preparation for elemental analysis: from evolution to revolution - The invention, the technology and the benefits of single reaction chamber

The book is the results of the joined effort of the most active and recognized persons in microwave digestion: dr. Werner Lautenschläger, prof. Skip Kingston, prof. Joaquim Nóbrega and prof. Cezar Bizzi.
