A simple method is described for the simultaneous determination of low parts-per-billion levels of As and Pb in waters. The method is based on the preconcentration of analytes by adsorbing them onto hydrous ferric hydroxide (HFO) impregnated into the 13 mm diameter area at the center of 32 mm diameter circular disks cut from Whatman filter papers. The adsorbed analytes are determined by using thin-layer energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The X-ray intensity of As and Pb adsorbed onto HFO is linearly proportional to the concentration up to 80 μg/L. The precision of the method is ∼ 0.5–5%, and the method detection limit for Pb and As in seawater is 0.63 and 0.21 μg/L, respectively. The method was validated by analyzing the certified reference materials SLRS-3 (riverine water), CASS-4 (nearshore seawater), and NASS-5 (offshore seawater) for As. The adsorption characteristics of Pb, As(III), As(V), Se(IV), Se(VI), and Hg onto the HFO impregnated disks, the interspecies adsorption effects, and the use of the standard addition method to compensate for matrix effects are also presented.

This paper describes the development of an accurate, precise, and rapid analytical procedure using x-ray-fluorescence spectrometry for the determination of Nb, Ta, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Zr, and Sn in a wide variety of materials resulting from the processing of Ta-Nb-Sn slags to produce Ta-Nb oxides. The method involves evaporation of all the liquids to dryness, a 1:8 fusion of the solid materials with a flux consisting of Na-Li tetraborate and Na2CO3, and the addition of La oxide as a heavy absorber. With the use of a computer program, residual matrix effects are corrected for by influence-factor calculations.

In regional reconnaisance geochemical prospecting, it is desirable to determine as many elements as possible, in order to provide a comprehensive cover for the detection of most types of ore mineralization. Multi-element simultaneous instruments are ideally suited to this task, but the maximum number of wavelength dispersive channels (monochromators) which may be fitted to any one of the commercially available X-ray spectrometers is approximately thirty. Because some of these channels are required for the measurement of background, the practical limit for spectral lines is about twenty-five. Additional elements may be determined by inclusion of a scanning channel, but its sequential operation increases the analysis time per sample.
