Abstract: A method for the acid (HC1 or HNO3)dissolution ofα-Al2O3 by MARS-5 microwave digestion system was proposed. When the temperature of digestion system increased to 240℃,α-Al2O3 sample was dissolved by HC1 or HNO3. When the digestion reagent mass was constant, the digestion time was directly proportional to the sample mass. The digestion time was prolonged when the ratio of α-phase in Al2O3 sample was increased.

Key words: microwave digestion, α-Al2O3, HCI, HNO3
