Abstract

Some x-ray fluorescence - concentration relationships in the framework of XRF were researched. Fundamental calculation approaches for primary fluorescence and incoherent scattering were realized for evaluation of matrix influence. A new binary approach was produced for the cases considered, and its unification was related to the empirical and regression types of the “standard background” technique, widely used in the analytical practice of XRF. It is confirmed that application of the calculations by fundamental parameters (FP) in combination with the empirical approach allows the reduction of the set of standards (to as few as one) in the analysis procedure with wide variations in matrices and concentrations, without loss of accuracy.
