Combined Semi-absolute FNAA and EDXRF in coal analysis

Radioisotope excited X-ray fluorescence analysis of ashes from coal fired power plants in Turkey

“…BALOGUN et al investigated toxic and trace element content of coal samples by EDXRF and, due to heterogeneity of coal, found different elemental composition. 9 Results indicate that trace and toxic element (except Pb) concentrations are of the same order of magnitude in the ashes obtained from coal fired power plants, but the ash sample (sample VIII) obtained from the Ambarl~, fuel-oil fired power plant of Turkey is found to have much smaller amounts of trace and toxic elements.…”
