X-ray Spectrometry

Contamination assessment of copper, lead, zinc, manganese and nickel in street dust of Baoji, NW China

“…The briquettes were stored in a desiccator. Consequently, the concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cu, Mn and Ni in street dust samples were directly measured by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF, PANalytical PW-2403 apparatus), the relative proportions of dust were determined according to methods [20][21][22]. Meanwhile, a series of soil, sediment and rock standards were used to calibrate the application.…”

Contamination Characteristics and Assessment of Manganese, Zinc, Chrome, Lead, Copper and Nickel in Bus Station Dusts of Xifeng, Northwest China

“…Weigh 5.0g of milled bus station dusts sample and 2.0g of boric acid and place in the mold, and press into a 32-mm diameter small briquette under 31.5t pressure, and the briquettes were stored in a desiccator. Therefore, the concentrations of Mn, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cu and Ni in bus station dusts samples were directly measured by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (S8 TIGER Brochures, XRF), the relative proportions of dust were determined according to methods (dos Anjos et al 2000;Staloki et al 2004;Huang and li, 2007;Lu et al 2009aLu et al , 2009b. Meanwhile, a series of soil and rock standards were used to calibrate the application.…”

Analytical Chemistry of Element Determination (Non‐Nuclear and Nuclear)

“…The biennial fundamental reviews in Analytical Chemistry contain the following three recent comprehensive reviews on X-ray spectrometry by Török and colleagues (Török et al 1996, Szalóki et al 2000. Klockenkämper et al (1992) provide a review dedicated to Total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF).…”
