The presentation of X-ray fluorescence data (XRF) assays is commonly restricted to tables or graphical representations. While the latter may sometimes be in a 3D format, they have yet incorporate actual objects are from. multiple XRF on model allows for more accessible data, particularly composite objects, and aids their interpretation. We present method display interpolate assay models using P...

The particulate matter (PM) concentration and composition, the PM10, PM2.5, PM1 fractions, were studied in the urban area of Genoa, a coastal town in the northwest of Italy. Two instruments, the continuous monitor TEOM and the sequential sampler PARTISOL, were operated almost continuously on the same site from July 2001 to September 2004. Samples collected by PARTISOL were weighted to obtain PM...

Due to their non-destructive character, X-ray analytical methods are widespread in the field of archaeometry. In the present study, the use of synchrotron radiation induced X-ray fluorescence analysis (SR-XRF) is illustrated on three examples: a silver point drawing of Jan van Eyck, the Hiddensee Gold Treasure, and the Sky Disc of Nebra. The possibility to analyse large objects in normal atmosp...

This paper presents the framework and results of analysis of the building materials used in traditional Chinese copper halls. The analysis of the Kunming copper hall (KCH) is presented as a typical example. First, the historical building structure of the KCH is investigated. Results of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry are presented and analyzed according to the units of each building compo...

Heterogeneous catalysis performed in the liquid phase is an important type of catalytic process which is rarely studied in situ. Using microfocus X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction computed tomography (μ-XRF-CT, μ-XRD-CT) in combination with X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), we have determined the active state of a Mo-promoted Pt/C catalyst (NanoSelect) for the liquid-phase...

This paper presents the chemical and physical characterizations of SiO 2 and SiO 2 -CaO bioactive glasses incorporated with samarium atoms, produced by sol-gel synthesis. The objective is to provide biocompatible and biodegradable radioactive seeds as an alternative to be used in Brachytherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. The glasses were produced and analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spe...

In mineral flotation the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) grade measurements of the slurries typically give the most important on-line information on the state of the flotation process. It has been shown that the visual and near-infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectrum measurements of certain mineral slurries can be used to complete the sparse XRF slurry content information. This study focuses on the chemo...

Soil samples were collected from five provinces over China, including Beijing, Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, and Jiangsu. Heavy metal Cr, Zn, Pb and As in soils were analyzed by a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). For predicating metal concentration in soils, a partial least square regression model (PLSR) was established. After cross-calibration, the correlation coefficients for...

Abstract In this study, a new method has been applied to monitor the low energy phosphorus ion implantation process in dynamic random access memory production line using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The dose sensing ability of SE is similar level that wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and almost twice stronger than XRF. coefficients determination have confirmed they are higher ...
