Abstract

X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry is perhaps one of the most widely accepted instrumental methods of analysis. The technique has the capability of simultaneous, multi-elemental, non-destructive analysis in a wide dynamic concentration range from 100% down to mg/kg levels with excellent relative precision of 1%. The versatility and broad range of applicability of XRF spectrometry have made it also an indispensable analytical tool for field-portable applications such as positive material identification and hazardous waste screening.
