چکیده

Total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis is an established technique for trace-element analysis in various types of samples. Though expensive large-scale systems restricted the applications in the past, in this study the capability of a benchtop system for trace elemental analysis is reported. The suitability of this system for the mobile on-site analysis of heavy metal contaminated soils and sediments is reported as well as the possibilities and restrictions of TXRF for additional applications, including trace-element analysis of water, glass and biological samples.

Multi-element analysis by portable total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.

Multi-element solutions containing the 11 elements S, K, Sc, V, Mn, Co, Cu, Ga, As, Br and Y were analyzed by a portable total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometer. The excitation parameters (glancing angle, operational voltage and current) and sample amount were optimized for the portable TXRF in order to realize the smallest possible detection limits for all elements. The excitat...

Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry for Characterization of Nuclear Materials

Total reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) is a comparatively new technique of material characterization and trace element analysis. It is an advanced variant of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and is based on the principle of total reflection of X-rays when these radiations fall on a flat smooth surface at a grazing angle less than the critical angle of the sample support. The cri...

Selected trace elements evaluation in soil from an urban farming area

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Urban farming makes a substantial influence on the household economy of the urban poor especially in developing countries. Urban soil the hot spot of urban farming is a natural sink for contaminants especially the trace elements derived mainly from anthropogenic activities. This study’s aim was to quantify the concentrations of selected trace elements...

Application of a Portable Txrf Spectrometer to Determine Trace Amounts of Toxic Elements

Using a portable total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, a sample containing 100 pg each of 3d transition metals, 500 pg of As, and 1 ng each of Sr, Y, and Zr is measured. Although non-monochromatic X-rays from a 5 W X-ray tube (Tube voltage: 25 kV) are used, the trace amounts of these elements are detected. This portable spectrometer is applied to analysis of river water, a leaching ...
