Particle Size Effects in Geological Analyses by X-Ray Fluorescence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
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.
