Acid digestion is more popular for decomposing geological materials because it is a straightforward method and reasonably effective. The majority of the wet digestion methods, followed in geochemical analysis, use acids such as HCl, HNO 3, HClO 4, H 2 SO 4 and HF, or a combination of them. The use of HF becomes inevitable in most sample decompositions …
