Guidelines for XRF Analysis contains
everything youve ever wanted to know about setting up successful X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
analytical programmes. This book is loaded with detailed analytical guidelines
for geological materials, commodities and industrial materials that are suited
to analysis by XRF.
It is a
one stop XRF reference manual, and no XRF laboratory should be without it.
Sample
preparation describes well-tried and tested methods, and there is sufficient
theory to enable the reader to gain maximum advantage from the book. Trace
elements, grouped by spectral region, are carefully evaluated, and the authors,
with a combined XRF experience of over 130 man years, share with you their
accumulated knowledge, tricks-of-the-trade, and information on
Optimum settings for WDXRF and EDXRF
instrumentation
The most suitable analyte spectral lines
The best background positions to measure
Identification and correction of line
overlap, and
Choice of procedures for matrix correction
Determine
with confidence fluorine to uranium, atomic number 9 to 92, in a wide range of
materials.
