Title: | TXRF spectrometric analysis of major elements in mineral sands | Authors: | Yap, C.T. Gunawardena, K.V.R. |
Issue Date: | May-1989 | Citation: | Yap, C.T.,Gunawardena, K.V.R. (1989-05). TXRF spectrometric analysis of major elements in mineral sands. Applied Spectroscopy 43 (4) : 702-704. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The major elements of mineral sands such as rutile and ilmenite vary widely in their concentrations. A method is developed with the use of thin-film samples and the total reflection x-ray fluorescence technique to obtain quantitative concentrations of such samples. The method was tested with the use of the GSJ (Geological Survey of Japan) rock reference JB-3, and agreement with quoted values was good. The advantages of the method are the simplicity of sample preparation, including easy removal of samples from the reflector; the low background contribution from the substrate; and the small quantity of the sample that is required. | Source Title: | Applied Spectroscopy | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98494 | ISSN: | 00037028 |
