Analysis: Characterization of Solution and Organic Waste

Analysis: Characterization of Solution and Organic Waste

<p>Rely on an accredited and experienced laboratory to characterize your organic solutions and wastes, even complex or radioactive.</p>

    • Characterize organic wastes with diverse matrices and variable chemical compositions.
    • Adapt chemical preparation methods according to sample nature, target analytes, and associated risks.
    • Access unique expertise in sample preparation, mineralization, and digestion (oxygen combustion, pyrohydrolysis, automated fusion, complex chemical attack, etc.), ensuring reliable elemental or isotopic compositions.
    • Rely on a comprehensive analytical platform covering all necessary techniques: ICP-AES and MS, atomic absorption (flame and furnace), ion and gas chromatography, alpha/gamma spectrometry, C/S elemental analyzers, potentiometry, IR and UV spectrometry.
    • Count on the laboratory’s ability to rapidly develop specific analytical methods and implement protocols to efficiently process large sample series.
    • Ensure regulatory compliance through COFRAC accreditation and ASN approvals, as well as adherence to ANDRA and SOCODEI specifications.
    • Over 40 years of experience in analytical development applied to organic matrices.
    • Elemental and isotopic characterization: reliable analysis of samples from organic matrices, radioactive or not.
    • Adapted preparation: digestion, oxygen combustion, pyrohydrolysis, or alkaline fusion depending on sample nature.
    • Extensive analytical equipment: ICP, atomic absorption, ion and gas chromatography, alpha/gamma spectrometry, C/S elemental analyzers, potentiometry, IR and UV spectrometry.
    • Regulatory compliance: adherence to ANDRA and SOCODEI specifications.
    • Accreditations and approvals: COFRAC N°1-5873 (detailed scope at www.cofrac.fr) since 1996, over thirty ASN approvals for environmental radioactivity measurements.
    • Client base: regular analyses performed for Orano and external stakeholders in the nuclear sector.
    • Capability to handle all types of organic waste.
    • Laboratory able to perform standardized leaching tests and all analyses required by authorities.
    • Solvent and organic matrix analyses performed routinely.
    • Laboratory authorized to hold radioactive samples.
    • 20,000 to 40,000 samples analyzed per year.
