Determination of carbon in aerosol by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

Determining the Content of Silicon Dioxide in Bauxites Using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

The X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and the MA.BM.006 reference spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the content of SiO2 (%) in bauxites from different deposits. The treatment of samples prior to the analysis involved the following steps: annealing, melting using the borax method,  and the formation of beads. Certified reference bauxite samples were used for the cali...

Determination of carbon in natural freshwater biofilms with total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Determination of traces of molybdenum and lead in foods by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry

An Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) method using X-ray emitting isotopes in combination with pre-concentration by carbonization was developed to determine the levels of Mo and Pb accumulated in foods. The samples were carbonized at temperatures range of 150-400°C for 15 min to 2 h for powdering. The powder was then quickly formed into a pellet for EDXRF analysis. This analytical met...

Determination of trace elements in sediment reference materials by monochromatic X-ray excitation X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

A new reliable analytical method, "Monochromatic X-ray Excitation X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry", has been proposed. For validating the method, trace elements in sediment certified reference materials were determined. In the method X-ray fluorescence spectra are measured for specimens and pure metals; in addition the mass-attenuation coefficients of the specimens for various X-ray wavelengths...

Simultaneous determination of trace elements in serum by energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry.

Energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence is applied in the analysis of human serum to determine the concentrations of several elements simultaneously with minimal manipulation of the sample. The analytical procedure has been developed with standard sera, and standardization, detection limits, and reproducibility have been established. A 50-microL sample of diluted serum, to which an internal standa...
