X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Laboratory Applications - Michael Haschke Jörg Flock Michael Haller Gebunden

Provides comprehensive coverage on using X-ray fluorescence for laboratory applications This book focuses on the practical aspects of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy and discusses the requirements for a successful sample analysis such as sample preparation measurement techniques and calibration as well as the quality of the analysis results. X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Laboratory Applications begins with a short overview of the physical fundamentals of the generation of X-rays and their interaction with the sample material followed by a presentation of the different methods o f sample preparation in dependence on the quality of the source material and the objective of the measurement. After a short description of the different available equipment types and their respective performance the book provides in-depth information on the choice of the optimal measurement conditions and the processing of the measurement results. It covers instrument types for XRF acquisition and evaluation of X-Ray spectra analytical errors analysis of homogeneous materials powders and liquids special applications of XRF process control and automation. * An important resource for the analytical chemist providing concrete guidelines and support for everyday analyses * Focuses on daily laboratory work with commercially available devices * Offers a unique compilation of knowledge and best practices from equipment manufacturers and users * Covers the entire work process: sample preparation the actual measurement data processing assessment of uncertainty and accuracy of the obtained results X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Laboratory Applications appeals to analytical chemists analytical laboratories materials scientists environmental chemists chemical engineers biotechnologists and pharma engineers.
