Notes:
Energy dispersive analysis of X-rays is a relatively new but rapidly growing technique for X-ray fluorescence spectrometry offering simultaneous analyses of many elements with sensitivities to a few p.p.m. The digitally recorded spectra lend themselves to processing to remove background and interfering peaks. The net counts for each element can be converted to concentration using any of a variety of mathematical models for interelement effects. When proper specimen preparation is used, final accuracies of better than 1 per cent can be realised over much of the analytical range.
