Abstract

The combination of the energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence technique and a backscatter/fundamental parameter-based matrix correction approach provides a new and unique solution to elemental analyses of fertilizers. This is demonstrated by means of results obtained for three reference materials and a range of in-house fertilizers. The results further demonstrate problems of sample preparation as well as the precision and accuracy of the method.
