How to Efficiently Produce Ultrapure Acids by Damiano Monticelli, Alessio Castelletti, Davide Civati, Sandro Recchia, Carlo Dossi

“…Under normal laboratory conditions, the residual elemental concentrations were in most cases below 10 ng/L in both nitric (2.75% w/w) and hydrochloric (0.1 M) blanks. Ultrapure nitric and hydrochloric acids could accordingly be produced under the most favorable conditions, i.e., the highest temperature and one distillation process only.…”
