X-RAY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETER

X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is one of the important methods used to determine elemental composition.

With X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer;

• Oxides of major elements such as Si, Al, Ti, Mn, Mg … in percent (%) by weight (MnO, MgO …)
• trace elements such as Rb, Ba, Sr…,
• Transition elements such as Cr, Ni, Co, Cu and Zn,
• Rare earth elements such as La, Ce, Pr, Nd … are analyzed at ppm level.

Makes quantitative analysis of elements with atomic numbers between 9 and 92. It cannot study elements with atomic number less than 9. It is not sensitive enough in the degree of chemical bond. XRF generally operates at 50kV and 50mA.
