The sulphated ash test is an analytical test for determining the inorganic content of a sample by weight. The sample ( usually 1g) is accurately weighed into a platinum, silica crucible that has been previously ignited, cooled and weighed. The sample in the crucible is then subjected to sulphuric acid (usually 1mL) and charred at a low temperature without causing ignition of the sample until there are no more white fumes given off. The crucible with the charred sample is then placed in a furnace (temperature is dependent on monograph but typically it can be from 600 to 900 degrees celcius) until all organic matter has been burnt off. The crucible is cooled and re-weighed. The difference in sample weights being the sulphated ash content remaining. Some monographs require the sample to be re-ashed until a constand weight has been achieved. The remaining inorganic matter is typically metal oxides from most samples.

Why add sulphuric acid in sulphated ash?
sample dicompose purpose........
How do you know that the ash is free from carbon?
we can assess the presence or absence of carbon in ash from the colour of the ash:- If ash is greyish to blackish in colour then carbon is present in the ash. If ash is bluish grey to brown in colour then the ash is free of carbon.
Is pumice fly ash?
No. Fly ash is ash left over from burning coal. Pumice is a porous rock produce during some volcanic eruptions.

What is the difference between sulphated ash and residue on ignition?
The only difference between sulphated ash and the residue on ignition is the terminology. The residue on an ignition is sulphated ash.
What is difference between sulphated ash and heavy metal?
Not so important differences: Heavy metal ash (but also in general ash): ash resulting from the calcination of a material; practically is a mixture of oxides. Sulphated ash: the sample is initially treated with sulphuric acid and the residues are calcined.

Why used sulfuric acid in sulphated ash test?
To convert the inorganic metals into metal sulphates very easily.
What is difference between sulphated ash and residue on ignition?
in both the tests the main motto is to determine the inorganic metal contents.
What is an aurothiomalate?
An aurothiomalate is a thiomalate - a sulphated malate derivative - with the addition of gold.
What is the chemistry behind sulphated ash content test?
Sulfated Ash is the ash content of fresh sample being analyzed as determined in the method. Indicates level of metallic (inorganic) contents in the sample. The sample is first chared with concentrated Sulfuric Acid at low temperature in Platinum / Silica crucible and then incinerate the sample in furnace at 600 - 900°C. At this temperature the organic components are fully burnt and only the ash remains, consisting of metal oxides and contaminants. By fuming off the sample with concentrated sulfuric acid the oxides in the ash are transformed into sulfates. The difference in weight serves as measurement. UDAY SALUNKE
What is the definition of caragenes?
The definition of carrageen is linear sulphated polysaccharides which are extracted from seaweeds which are edible. They are commonly used in dairy products and meat.
