The use of a portable total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for field investigation
A newly developed, portable total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometer was tested during a field campaign on Chilean lakes and a German river in January 2002. The field measurements were compared with laboratory measurements carried out on a stationary instrument in the German laboratory. For method validation certified reference material (NIST SRM 1640 Trace elements in natural wa...
متن کاملTotal 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...
متن کاملDetermining 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...
متن کاملDetermination of halide impurities in ionic liquids by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.
The determination and quantification of halide impurities in ionic liquids is highly important because halide ions can significantly influence the chemical and physical properties of ionic liquids. The use of impure ionic liquids in fundamental studies on solvent extraction or catalytic reactions can lead to incorrect experimental data. The detection of halide ions in solution by total reflecti...
متن کاملEvaluation of the protein concentration in enzymes via determination of sulfur by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry limitations of the method
Ž . Total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry TXRF offers many advantages for the identification of trace elements in biological samples like proteins, enzymes, tissues or plants. Because of difficult and time consuming isolations and cleaning procedures enzyme samples are often available in small amounts only. Using TXRF without any preliminary treatment, a ‘screening’ of such samples t...
