β¦ Synopsis
The determination of sulfur, nickel and vanadium in fuel and residual oils by wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry is reported. Calibration is initially established with matrix-matched synthetic standards, and maintained free of instrumental drift by daily normalization to a reference standard. An epoxy-cast reference standard pellet offers mechanical rigidity and chemical stability for at least nine months. Matrix effects of sulfur and carbon are studied and corrected. Results for NBS SRM oils fall within the NBS certified values, with imprecision (% RSD) for S, Ni, and V of 1.1, 1.5 and l.O%, respectively. Detection limits (3 s.d.) are 20 yg g-' for sulfur and 0.8 pg g-' for NI and for V.

SRM 2724 is a no. 2-D diesel fuel oil that has been certified for total sulfur concentration at 425 +4 pg g-' (95% confidence interval) by isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry, which is the most accurate and precise method for the determination of sulfur in many different matrices.
A method was developed for the determination of phosphorus and sulphur in edible oils and fats by wavelengthdispersive x-ray Γuorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry. The samples were measured in disposable liquid cells after solidiΓcation with 15% stearic acid to obtain a stable measurement. The WDXRF meth
A method for determination of thallium in sulphide geological samples by x-ray Γuorescence spectrometry is presented. The samples were prepared in form of glass discs by fusion with lithium tetraborate and with potassium nitrate as an oxidizing agent. The limit of determination was 0.016% (w/w) Tl,
