Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy for the Determination of Trace and Main Elements
نویسنده
چکیده
The results from various samples reported here show that energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy is available as an efficient analytical method; one that has emerged from the qualitative and semiquantitative overview analysis phase. Particularly the ability to improve sensitivity or reduce statistical error using optimized excitation has led to an important advancement in capturing the primary signal. The simultaneous measurement of a wide range of elements enables utilization of all of the information contained in a spectra for the evaluation; allowing for new approaches for the evaluation of spectra, particularly for the consideration of matrix influences.

متن کاملSimultaneous determination of trace elements in lavage fluids from human bronchial alveoli by energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence. 2: Determination of abnormal lavage contents and verification of the results.
We applied energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence to the determination of abnormally present elements or abnormal concentrations of elements in human broncho-alveolar lavage fluids. The low detection limits and the ability to perform multi-elemental analysis permit one to establish or confirm occupational exposure of workers. We also describe different methods used to check our method and our res...
