Development and validation of a method for multielement analysis of apatite by total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry for environmental analysis: Basic principles, instrumentation, applications and recent trends

“…reported the use of TXRF for elemental analysis of apatite microcrystals in geological applications (Maltsev et al, 2020(Maltsev et al, , 2021. In both cases, nitric acid digestion of a small amount of the mineral powder or single apatite microcrystal was used as sample treatment approach.…”

Synthesis and Application of a New Polymer with Imprinted Ions for the Preconcentration of Uranium in Natural Water Samples and Determination by Digital Imaging

“…There are several reported techniques capable of detecting uranium in environmental samples, such as: fluorometry [ 8 , 9 ], X-ray fluorescence [ 10 , 11 ], potentiometry [ 12 , 13 ], inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP OES) [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [ 17 , 18 ], and spectrophotometry [ 5 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Among all these techniques, spectrophotometry has a lot of applications.…”

Exploratory studies on total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry combined with slurry sampling for the multi-element analysis of copper-nickel sulfide ore

“…12 In recent years, owing to its numerous analytical advantages, TXRF has been progressively applied in the analysis of various elds, such as blood, 13,14 water, 15,16 soil, 17 plants 18,19 and human tissue. 20,21 Furthermore, as solid samples can be prepared as a suspension for analysis, it is widely used for the analysis of major and trace elements in a variety of mineral samples, such as k-feldspars, 22,23 copper zinc ores, 24,25 apatite, 23,26 and others. [27][28][29] Our previous work summarized TXRF analytical methods that have been applied to different polymetallic minerals.…”
