• TITLE: Microwave Assisted Acid Digestion of Biomorphic Ceramic Obtained from Cedar Wood Infiltrated with ZrO2

  ABSTRACT: This work proposes the use of experimental design for optimization of microwave-assisted digestion of bio- morphic ZrO2-ceramic. Cedar wood is used as template and it was infiltrated with ZrO2 via sol-gel process. XPS, SEM and XRD have been used to verify the effectiveness of the synthesis. The effects of different combination of acids in the digestion of this sample have been optimized taking as response the concentra- tion of several metallic ions measured by ICP-MS.
