This paper is an analytical study of the possibility of applying the linear range of the substitution-dilution method to correct the matrix effect in quantitative analysis by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. The analytical range is obtained from a series of samples prepared in the form of glass discs by substituting the unknown sample with a standard sample (substitution factor, h) including a diluent-melt. In general, the substitution-dilution method is hyperbolic in character and therefore the diluent is required to ensure linear behavior between If vs. h in the experimental range. The linear range is located between the concentrations of standard and unknown for each element analyzed. This linear model makes it possible to correct the matrix effect in quantitative analysis by XRF using a single multi-elemental standard for different types of samples with a complex matrix, such as geologicals and cements. The results found for Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Ca, K, and P in soil and sediment samples and Si, Fe, Al, Ca, and K in cements (white and gray) are statistically satisfactory. Thus, the mean relative standard deviation calculated for all analytes in each sample was: ±4.0% and ±5.0% in soils; ±5.0% in sediments; and ±6.0% or ±3.0% in cements, white and gray, respectively.

The chemical inhomogenities in modern materials such as fibers, phases and inclusions, often have diameters in the region of one micrometer. Using electron microbeam analysis for the determination of the element concentrations one has to know the smallest possible diameter of such regions for a given accuracy of the quantitative analysis.In th is paper the correction procedure for the quantitative electron microbeam analysis is extended to a spacial problem to determine the smallest possible measurements of a cylindrical particle P of high D (depth resolution) and diameter L (lateral resolution) embeded in a matrix M and which has to be analysed quantitative with the accuracy q. The mathematical accounts lead to the following form of the characteristic x-ray intens ity of the element i of a particle P embeded in the matrix M in relation to the intensity of a standard S

AbstractThe double dilution method has many important advantages. For any element to be determined, let us say A, It enables us to control or calculate the matrix factor (sum of the absorption end enhancement effects) for the sample being Investigated towards A radiation, and it furnishes corrected Intensities which are strictly proportional to A concentration. Thus the results are exact, whatever the general composition of the sample, their accuracy depending only on the quality of measurement and preparation. Another major practical advantage is that the method does not require systematic calibration but only a few permanent standards consisting of a pure compound or of an accurately known sample.The procedure has been tested successfully for accurate determination of rare earth elements using, for solid materials such as ores and oxide mixtures, the borax fusion technique. It also can be readily applied to liquids. All the rare earth elements can be titrated by that method, as well as yttrium, thorium and, if necessary, all the elements relevant to X-ray fluorescence analysis. The concentration range considered for solids is of one comprised between 0.5 and 100 % and, with a lesser accuracy, between 0.1 and 0-5 % Examples are given relative to the analysis of various ores. Finally it rcust be pointed out that the method is universal and applies to the analysis of every solid, especially ores, provided that they can be converted to solid or liquid solutions. It appears that most industrial analyses can be worked on In this way.

Particle-size effects can cause significant errors in x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of particulate materials. The effects are usually removed when samples are fused or dissolved to standardize the matrix for quantitative analysis. Recent improvements in numerical matrix corrections reduce the need to standardize the sample matrix via fusion or dissolution, particularly when the CEMAS method is used to estimate unmeasured light-element components of undefined materials for matrix calculations. A new method to correct for particle-size effects has therefore been examined to potentially avoid the need for destructive preparation of homogeneous samples.

Determining the quantitative composition of clay samples with X-ray fluorescent spectrometry is complicated because of the matrix effect, in which any element can increase or decrease the analytical signals of other elements. In order to predict the properties of clays, it is essential to know their precise chemical composition. Therefore, using the standard addition method was determined calibration and empirical influence coefficients, as well as the true composition of the elements. Farther, these coefficients were used to correct the matrix effect and develop a multi-parameter optimization method. It was determined that in clay samples, consisting of Si, Al, Fe, K, Mg, Ca, Na and Ti oxide formula units, the most significant contribution for matrix effect correction calculations was from the calibration coefficients. Moreover, the largest deviation from the X-ray fluorescent data and true values was determined in the MgO and Na2O cases. In this study was established, that the developed multi-parameter method can be successfully applied to determine the quantitative chemical composition of clay samples of similar compositions.

The effect of protein admixtures and concentration of immobilized dye on the interaction of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with Cibacron Blue-bead cellulose has been studied by means of zonal chromatography with Cibacron Blue-dextran T 10 as the mobile ligand. The influence of both variables on the values of dissociation constants of complexes immobilized dye-LDH (KI-L) and mobile dye-LDH (KM-L) can be summarized as follows: The values of KI-L remained practically constant and were found to be lower than those of KM-L. The differences found in KI-L and KM-L values should help to estimate the contribution of nonspecific interaction of the matrix to the total interaction between dye-ligand and the enzyme.

This paper introduced the principle about the technology of Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) of quantitative analysis. It was reviewed about the quantitative analysis of LIBS reduced method of matrix. The reason of cause matrix effect was not clear, but the matrix effect on the LIBS quantitative analysis of the impact can not be ignored. The LIBS quantitative analysis method was divided into two categories: one was based on the calibration curve with the mathematical matrix correction method; the other was combined with neural network reduction method of matrix. This paper was introduced for the two categories of methods, and gives an example to explain.

The detection limit of trace metals in liquids has been improved greatly by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using solid substrate. A paper substrate and a metallic substrate were used as a solid substrate for the detection of trace metals in aqueous solutions and viscous liquids (lubricating oils) respectively. The matrix effect on quantitative analysis of trace metals in two types of liquids was investigated. For trace metals in aqueous solutions using paper substrate, the calibration curves established for pure solutions and mixed solutions samples presented large variation on both the slope and the intercept for the Cu, Cd, and Cr. The matrix effects among the different elements in mixed solutions were observed. However, good agreement was obtained between the measured and known values in real wastewater. For trace metals in lubricating oils, the matrix effect between the different oils is relatively small and reasonably negligible under the conditions of our experiment. A universal calibration curve can be established for trace metals in different types of oils. The two approaches are verified that it is possible to develop a feasible and sensitive method with accuracy results for rapid detection of trace metals in industrial wastewater and viscous liquids by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
