Download or read book Non destructive Elemental Analysis written by Zeev B. Alfassi and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2001-07-09 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for professional, academic and government analytical chemists. It is a "one-stop-shop" providing an overview and reference source on this subject, which has been growing steadily with outstanding technical developments in recent years. Non-destructive methods are generally nuclear techniques as they depend only on physical properties of the atomic nucleus and do not need the preparation of solutions. However some of the methods as XRF and ICP-MS-LA which depend on the inner electrons or the mass of the atom are also included as they are non-destructive. Non-destructive assays are expanding in the fields of materials, archaeology, biology and the arts. A team of expert authors describes all the major non-destructive methods available to the analyst clearly and concisely. In each case practical examples are used along with detailed coverage of equipment, methodology and underlying theory. In this way readers can gain an appreciation of how day-to-day work is connected to the basic principles.

Download or read book Method Development for Elemental Analysis of Soils and Environmental Sediments Using X ray Fluorescence written by Samwel Mokaya Ondieki and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is a good analytical method for determination of both trace and major elements in different samples, it has the important advantages of allowing direct analysis of soils and sediments and is also non-destructive. The major aim of this study was to develop an XRF method for the determination of total metal concentrations in soils and sediments. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation were used as the figures of merit to evaluate the method. Standard Reference materials: NIST-2586, NIST-2587, NIST-1645 and NIST-1645 were used for calibration. Different calibration methods were explored. background corrected peak height to Background corrected Compton peak height ratio had the highest correlation coefficient (0.99) for Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Al, Cr, Ca and Pb. The method was applied to measure 120 sediment samples that were collected from the yellow creek watershed Poland, Ohio. The results of the XRF method were compared with those obtained by ICP-MS. Al, Mn, Zn, Fe and Cu had good agreement. A sequential extraction approach was developed for characterizing the availability of metals in the water from the sediments. Ca and Mn were found to be easily extracted under weakly acidic conditions.
Download or read book X Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry XRF in Geoarchaeology written by M. Steven Shackley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-17 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), both wavelength and energy-dispersive have served as the workhorse for non-destructive and destructive analyses of archaeological materials. Recently eclipsed by other instrumentation such as LA-ICP-MS, XRF remains the mainstay of non-destructive chemical analyses in archaeology, particularly for volcanic rocks, and most particularly for obsidian. In a world where heritage and repatriation issues drive archaeological method and theory, XRF remains an important tool for understanding the human past, and will remain so for decades to come. Currently, there is no comprehensive book in XRF applications in archaeology at a time when the applications of portable XRF and desktop XRF instrumentation are exploding particularly in anthropology and archaeology departments worldwide. The contributors to this volume are the experts in the field, and most are at the forefront of the newest applications of XRF to archaeological problems. It covers all relevant aspects of the field for those using the newest XRF technologies to deal with very current issues in archaeology.

Readers will find a diverse range of research by leading experts that have used micro-XRF core scanners in a wide range of scientific applications. The book includes specific application papers reporting on the use of XRF core scanners in a variety of marine, lacustrine, and pollution studies. In addition, coverage also examines practical aspects of core scanner usage, data optimisation and data calibration and interpretation. In a little over a decade, micro-XRF sediment core scanners have made a substantive contribution to palaeoenvironmental research. Their impact is based on their ability to rapidly, non-destructively and automatically scan sediment cores. Not only do they rapidly provide important proxy data without damaging samples, but they can obtain environmental data at decadal, annual and even sub-annual scales. This volume will help both experienced and new users of these non-destructive core scanners take full advantage of one of the most powerful geochemical screening tools in the environmental scientist's toolbox.

Download or read book Elemental Analysis in Geochemistry written by Alexis Volborth and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elemental Analysis in Geochemistry: A. Major Elements provides an introduction to basic classical and modern instrumental ""macro"" methods for geochemical research. The intention is to acquaint the beginning analyst or geochemist with the minimum of analytical methods required to satisfactorily perform a complex silicate or similar analysis. By combining classical and modern instrumental methods in one book, strong emphasis is put on the importance of the analyst's ability to grasp the general structure and relation of some of the most frequently used analytical techniques. The book begins with basic concepts such as the preparation and decomposition of samples; statistical evaluation; and methods of separation and analysis. It outlines the classical qualitative separation scheme, which is very useful in understanding the analytical problems of complex mixtures, especially when hydrogen sulfide group metals are present. It discusses analytical techniques such as the detection and quantitative gravimetric analysis of silicon; volumetric or titrimetric methods; emission photometric analysis; atomic absorption spectroscopy; nondestructive instrumental methods; methods in X-ray spectrochemistry; and developments in neutron activation analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of nondestructive testing of materials in civil engineering. For this reason, the articles highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of nondestructive testing of different materials in civil engineering—from building materials to building structures. The current trend in the development of nondestructive testing of materials in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in concrete elements and structures, and acoustic methods predominate in this field. As in medicine, the trend is towards designing test equipment that allows one to obtain a picture of the inside of the tested element and materials. From this point of view, interesting results with significance for building practices have been obtained
