AQF-5000

In combination with an ion chromatograph, the AQF-5000 measures the halogens fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, sulphur and the parameters AOF, AOCl, AOBr, AOI and PFAS.

Organic and inorganic liquid, viscous, solid and gaseous samples are possible.

There is no typical application because the AQF-5000 is so versatile. Here are a few possible application examples:

• AOF and EOF – sum parameters for the determination of fluorinated organics (PFAS) → find out more about PFAS here
• Halogen content in electronic components (RoHS analysis, OLEDs)
• Fluorine content in lithium batteries and their individual parts (production and recycling)
• Fluorine, chlorine and sulphur in primary and secondary energy sources
• Basic materials and intermediate products of the glass industry
• Fluorine and chlorine in heavy industry feedstocks
• Halogen and sulphur content in waste/recycled materials
• Halogen content in building materials
• Halogen content in waste wood
• Fluorine determination in textiles and other consumer goods

Yes, the sum parameters for the determination of fluorinated organics(PFAS) can be measured with the Combustion IC.

The measurement results of the AQF-5000 are important for anyone who wants to measure halogens as an environmental parameter in order to comply with limit values. The halogen content in petrochemical plants is also measured in order to prevent corrosion, for example. Quality assurance, for example in chemical reactions where the halogen content in the product is monitored, and process monitoring are also typical areas of application. The measurement results are important for large companies, research facilities, universities, institutes, contract laboratories, but also for medium-sized companies and start-ups (e.g. battery recycling) in a wide range of sectors (chemicals, energy, environment, agriculture and food, heavy industry, raw materials industry, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, waste and recycling).

Yes, the C-IC delivers very precise and accurate results and can be used to monitor limit values.

The AQF-5000 is fully compliant with the following relevant standard procedures, among others:

DIN 38409-59, DIN EN 62321-3-2, ISO 19242, EN 17813, ASTM D5987, ASTM D7359, ASTM D7994, ASTM D8150, ASTM D8247, UOP 991, UOP 1001

The AQF-5000 is a high temperature digestion system that can be coupled to an ion chromatograph, referred to as a Combustion IC.

In most applications, no further sample preparation is necessary. For particularly inhomogeneous samples, homogenization of the samples is necessary. Certain methods such as AOF or EOF require a sample preparation specified by the respective standard. We can offer you suitable sample preparation modules for AOF, for example.

Yes, for example methods such as Wickbold, Schöninger or Druckbombe, but these are all very labor-intensive and do not deliver such reproducible results as the AQF-5000.

No, but we work together with specialists in the industry so that we can actively support the procurement of your ion chromatograph.

Yes, this is possible in most cases. We will be happy to advise you on the specific possibilities.

The measuring range is ppb to 100%.

The AQF-5000 works with oxygen, O2_≥ 99.7% and argon, Ar ≥ 99.98%

A device demonstration and test measurements on your samples are possible and useful.

Once your AQF-5000 has been installed, our service team will be available to provide you with detailed product training. Most questions will arise as you work, so we will also be able to help you with any questions that arise at a later date – at your premises or flexibly via an online meeting.
