8、e3.1 Qualitative chemical analyses of the mineral componentof a paper specimen,Test Method A,serve to identify the ionsof any such minerals.The results may then be interpreted interms of the minerals themselves.Direct identification of someof these minerals or their ions is frequently possible using
9、optical microscopical examination,Test Method B.For addi-tional information,see Annex A1.3.2 The analysis can be considerably simplified if it isdesired only to establish the presence or absence of a particularfiller.3.3 A microscopical examination of the ash usually provesto be a useful adjunct to
