A modern analytical laboratory of a large corporation manufacturing paper, construction materials and chemicals must be sufficiently diversified in methodology to provide accurate results in the shortest possible time. Among other techniques the implementation of an automated “menu” driven wavelength dispersive spectrometer allowed for the setting-up of a variety of quantitative X-ray fluorescence methods.

In the spectroscopic analysis of minor and trace elements by fluorescent X-rays, many improvements in the analytical performance of trace element measurements have been made. For the analysis of trace elements, the background intensity governs the analytical accuracy and the lowest detection limit in a sample. A comparison is made between experimental and theoretically calculated background X-ray intensities in a previous paper. It is based on the formula for scattered X-ray intensity, from the estimation of Thomson and Compton scattered X-rays. Also, the asymmetrical peak profiles at the base of the giant intensity peak are discussed and are clearly shown in the skirt part of K beta X-rays, e.g. , Ni-K beta or Fe-K beta X-rays. The purpose of this report is to investigate the intensity of background X-rays, using glass beads and powder samples of iron oxide and quartz, based on the previous fundamental studies and the overlapping correction procedure for cobalt determination in low-alloy and stainless steel.

A method for the experimental determination of the absolute efficiency of wavelength dispersive spectrometers was developed, based on the comparison of spectra measured with a wavelength dispersive system and with an energy dispersive spectrometer. The aim of studying this parameter arises because its knowledge is necessary to perform standardless analysis. A simple analytical expression was obtained for the efficiency curve for three crystals (TAP, PET, and LiF) of the spectrometer used, within an energy range from 0.77 to 10.83 keV. Although this expression is particular for the system used in this work, the method may be extended to other spectrometers and crystals for electron probe microanalysis and X-ray fluorescence.

Image analysis is a fast and accurate technique for measuring the relative amounts of various mineral components of a rock. In a routine scanning electron microscope (SEM) based modal analysis, backscattered electrons (BSE) are used to generate average atomic number contrast to determine the presence of the various minerals. The minerals are then identified with the use of an energy dispersive (EDS) or a wavelength dispersive spectrometer (WDS). Once a mineral is identified, its modal percent can be calculated by comparing the area of pixels which the mineral occupies with the total area scanned. This BSE/EDS method works well in most cases except where samples contain minerals with similar average atomic numbers or backscattering coefficients, thus producing ambiguity in mineral identification. In an attempt to eliminate this ambiguity and to enhance the analytical capabilities of image analysis, the present study will evaluate a superimposed x-ray map method which utilizes the logical operation of conjunction (AND) to combine multiple x-ray maps of characteristic elements to complete the modal analysis.
