A preliminary analysis of pottery from the Dantu site, Shandong, China: Perspectives from petrography and WD-XRF

Assessment of the Levels of Potentially Toxic Elements Contained in Natural Bentonites Collected from Quarries in Turkey

“…Interference in the X-ray peak in the spectrum can be easily corrected, thus ensuring high accuracy and sensitivity easily. EDXRF and wavelength-dispersive XRF spectroscopy are used for qualitative and quantitative multi-element analysis of major, minor, and trace elements in archeological, geological, biological, industrial, food, and environmental samples and require minimal sample preparation. ,− The analysis of PTEs in the bentonite samples was performed with the help of the EDXRF spectrometer (Spectro Xepos, Ametek). The EDXRF spectrometer is equipped with an anode X-ray tube (50 W, 60 kV) consisting of a dual thick Pd/Co mixture. ,,,, The EDXRF spectrometer’s target modifier, which optimizes excitation by using polarization and secondary targets, has many different excitation conditions that guarantee the best detection of all elements from Na to U.…”

Health Risk Assessment due to Some Potentially Toxic Elements in Sepiolite Mineral

“…Interference in the X-ray peak in the spectrum can be easily corrected, thus ensuring high accuracy and sensitivity easily. Wavelength and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers are utilized for qualitative and quantitative multi-element analysis in a sample of geological, archaeological, industrial, food, biological, and environmental and require minimal sample preparation compared to other chemical analytical analysis techniques (Oyedotun, 2018;Tyagi et al, 2022;Qingyu et al, 2023). Determination of PTEs in the sepiolite samples was carried out using an EDXRF spectrometer (Spectro Xepos, Ametek) equipped with an anode X-ray tube (50 W, 60 kV) consisting of a dual thick Pd/Co mixture.…”
