Abstract:Silicon is an important element for plants at their structure and physiology and plays an important role in bone mineralization and soft tissue development in human beings. Furthermore, its determination is being requested more frequently due to nutritional requirements. However, the methods found in the literature to determine silicon in this type of samples require a sample preparation step, which makes them time‐consuming and provides high uncertainties.
In this paper, a method for the determination of sili… Show more
“…The energy resolution and spectral intensity were optimized by using a collimator of 300 mm providing an energy resolution of 8 eV measured at the S-K b line with a Ge(111) crystal. An AXIOS Advanced (Malvern Panalytical, The Netherlands) instrument was used by Gazulla et al 46,47 for the determination of silicon in plants and to determine minor and trace elements in liquid petroleum products. This spectrometer was equipped with a 4 kW Rh tube with a maximum current of 160 mA and a variable voltage up to 60 kV, 8 different crystals, up to 6 different collimators and a ow, scintillation and sealed detectors, which have the possibility to operate in a He atmosphere.…”
