  "term": "Closed-vessel acid digestion",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A sample preparation technique where a sample is digested with strong acids in a sealed container, typically under elevated temperature and pressure. This method prevents the loss of volatile analytes and minimizes contamination from the environment. Microwave-assisted digestion in closed vessels is a common application.",
