AbstractThe fundamental parameters method (FPM) enables one to determine with high accuracy the chemical composition of homogeneous samples, having only one reference sample. However, the reference sample composition should be similar to that of the samples analyzed.The x-ray fluorescence analysis of multicomponent heterogeneous materials (ores, minerals, their mixtures, welding electrode coating mixtures, fluxes, etc.) is made by the Δμ-correction method based on the combined use of the fundamental and empirical correlations maintaining all the advantages of the FPM. Sample composition is calculated on the basis of the element intensities measured in the sample and in the reference specimen and is corrected for the disturbing effect of excitation conditions and heterogeneity as well as the calculated values of one of the fundamental parameters (μ1). At the preliminary stage of calibration, the coefficients are determined using regression and the absolute fundamental expression for the element fluorescence intensity.

AbstractA new method for determining the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of clays is proposed. The method is based on X-ray fluorescence analysis of natural and Ba-exchanged clays following the analytical procedure suggested by Franzini et al. (1975). This procedure, which utilizes powder pellets and is based on a full matrix correction method, is frequently applied in Earth Sciences laboratories for the routine analysis of minerals and rocks. For the analysis of Ba-exchanged clays, Franzini's procedure has been modified slightly to account for the contribution of Ba to matrix effects.The new method, which furnishes both the CEC and the chemical compositions of the whole natural clay samples, has been tested on the eight ‘Source Clays’ of The Clay Minerals Society. The results compare well with data reported in the literature and confirm the accuracy and precision of the method and make it a valid alternative to techniques based on wet chemistry, execution of which is usually more time-consuming and which often requires greater analytical skill.

Xrf Analysis

In on–stream X–ray fluorescence analysis of ore slurries, the effects due to variation in the particle-size of solids can cause appreciable and sometimes major errors in the measured concentration of an element to be determined. Weight percentage of slurry ore grains with diameter smaller than 75 um (called later W75) is commonly used as measure of ore fineness and can be determined using particle-size analyzers. A method of correcting for W75 variaition is highly desireable, particularly in a case when high analysis accuracy is required for economical reasons.

The development of intense sources of x rays has led to renewed interest in the use of microbeams of x rays in x-ray fluorescence analysis. Sparks pointed out that the use of x rays as a probe offered the advantages of high sensitivity, low detection limits, low beam damage, and large penetration depths with minimal specimen preparation or perturbation. In addition, the option of air operation provided special advantages for examination of hydrated systems or for nondestructive microanalysis of large specimens.The disadvantages of synchrotron sources prompted the development of laboratory-based instrumentation with various schemes to maximize the beam flux while maintaining small point-to-point resolution. Nichols and Ryon developed a microprobe using a rotating anode source and a modified microdiffractometer. Cross and Wherry showed that by close-coupling the x-ray source, specimen, and detector, good intensities could be obtained for beam sizes between 30 and 100μm. More importantly, both groups combined specimen scanning with modern imaging techniques for rapid element mapping.
