34. Increasing the dry oxidation time and the reflux time can reduce the wt % metals to ≪1 wt %. Also, selective microwave heating followed by 6 h refluxing in 4 N HCl was found previously to reduce the metal content to a few tenths of a wt % (see ref 20).

40. 2, metal is converted to an oxide, and m(T) decreases. Characteristic combustion temperatures of the various carbon phases in the soot, for example, amorphous carbon, SWNT, multishell carbon, can be identified by the peak positions in the derivative data (DTPO), that is, dm/dT versus T data. The area sob each peak in the DTPO curve can be used as an estimate of the relative amount of the various carbon phases. As an example of this procedure, see ref 20.
