“…It enables examining concentrations of main and trace amounts of elements present in the soil [11,18,19,31,63], bottom sediments [1,3,9,26,29], ashes [50] or minerals [13,17,34]. EDXRF is relatively simple and inexpensive when compared to other methods for qualitative and quantitative analyses of heavy metals.…”

Abstract:The research aim was to determine the long-term impact of the mine waste stored at the coal waste dump Hałda Ruda on the content of heavy metals in the bottom sediments of the Bytomka River. It is a watercourse fl owing along this coal waste dump and has been under its infl uence for over fi fty years. The research also attempted to determine the seasonality of changes (2 years) and mobility of selected elements.The article presents total contents of Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb in the bottom sediments collected from the Bytomka River. It also focuses on the distribution of these elements in particular geochemical fractions determined with the Tessier's sequential chemical extraction procedure. Total element contents were determined with an EDPXRF (Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence) technique. The extractants of particular Tessier's fractions were determined quantitatively with an ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) spectrometer. The research results show that the stored waste signifi cantly infl uences the contents of heavy metals in the Bytomka River bottom sediments. The lowest concentration of heavy metals was observed at the B1 spot (above the dump), while the highest one was measured at the B3 spot (below the dump).Sequential chemical extraction of the bottom sediments indicates that the Zn content in the ion-exchange and carbonate fractions diminished within a year. Nevertheless, Zn bound to Fe and Mn oxides acted in the opposite way. Mn, Zn and Pb are the most dangerous elements from the viewpoint of environmental hazards, as their total concentrations were high. Moreover, their high contents were observed in the most mobile (ion-exchange and carbonate) fractions. Extremely toxic Cd was bound to the oxide fraction to the largest extent. Cu was mainly bound to the organic fraction while environmentally hazardous Cr was bound to the residual fraction.

“…The distribution and concentration of elements in single bacterial cells was determined using synchrotron-based XRF (Kemner et al, 2004). XRF was used to determine the concentrations of 16 elements (from K to Pb) in powdered aquatic plants (Sokolovskaya et al, 2000;Kipriyanova et al, 2001) as well as to map the distribution of Se in the leaves and stems of Astragalus bisulcatus (Pickering et al, 2000). Other work has investigated the distribution of Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Rb in the roots of Salix nigra (black willow) irrigated with spill water from a radioactive settling pond (Punshon et al, 2003), Cr in the roots of Trifolium brachycalicinum (Howe et al, 2003), P to Zn in Plantago lanceolata roots and the associated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae (Yun et al, 1998), and K, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn in tobacco flowers and leaves from plants both lacking and overexpressing nicotianamine aminotransferase (Takahashi et al, 2003).…”

Multi-angle XRF imaging will be useful for mapping elemental distribution in plant tissues. It offers a compromise between two- and three-dimensional XRF mapping, as far as collection times, image resolution and ease of visualization. It is also complementary to other metal-mapping techniques. Mn, Fe and Cu had tissue-specific accumulation patterns. Metal accumulation patterns were different between seeds of the Col-4, man1 and nasx genotypes.

“…The application of synchrotron XRF technique to determine the minerals distribution in various parts of the spinach showed that the elements concentrations in the roots was higher than leaves and stems and the base of root had a higher mineral content than at the root tip, potassium, calcium, iron, nickel and zinc content were very high in the base of stem and most of elements accumulated around the midrib and the central area of leaves [7]. In 2001, XRF was used to monitor heavy metals in plants vascular that grow in the reservoir and the results were compared to atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method, the result showed that copper and cobalt content determined by XRF was consistent with AAS, but zinc and nickel contents were different between the two methods [8].…”

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) requires 16 essential nutrients in balance quantity. When elements are deficient or imbalances, growth and yield will be significantly reduced. Nutrient deficiency in grape can be diagnosed by chemical analysis. However, it is time consuming technique and requires large amount of plant samples. Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescent (XRF) has been used to detect certain types of mineral nutrients in various materials. It is a fast technique and requires small amount of samples. The objectives of this research are to study plant nutrient status and to study the possibility of using the XRF for plant nutrient analysis in grape leaves. The experiment design was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Seven methods of irrigation and fertilizer applications were applied to grape variety Marroo Seedless. Leaf nutrients including phosphorus, potassium and calcium were analyzed by chemical and synchrotron XRF technique. The results showed that, with the chemical analysis, phosphorus and potassium contents in the leaves of all treatments except control (no fertilizer application) were in the sufficient range. Leaves calcium content in most treatments were in the deficient range except treatments with calcium application. Synchrotron XRF analysis results showed similar trend as chemical analysis. The regression and correlation analysis indicated the significantly positive correlation of the plant nutrient contents between the synchrotron XRF technique and the chemical method (R2 = 0.76, 0.77 and 0.90). The results implied that the synchrotron XRF technique could be applied for nutrient analysis and the diagnosis of nutrient status in grape.
