“…Many literature reports are also available where alumina (in some cases, the ore bauxite) has been characterised for chemical quality control from trace metallic point of view by many analytical techniques. Greenaway et al did a comprehensive minor and trace elemental characterisation in Jamaican hillside and catchment bauxites using multivariate techniques that included WDXRF, EDXRF and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) [19]. Similar EDXRF experiments on alumina collected from Mambilla Plateau, North Eastern Nigeria were also reported by Idris et al [20].…”

The applicability of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry as an analytical technique for the determination of a few metallic impurities such as Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn in alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) matrix was investigated. A series of Al 2 O 3 standards containing the elements of interest in the range 10-1000 ppm was prepared and the spectrometer conditions were optimized to obtain calibration plots for the various analytes that could be further used for the analysis of actual samples. The present method serves as an alternative to currently used AES method for analytes expected in the concentration range 50-1000 ppm.
