✦ Synopsis
An energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence method for the direct, simultaneous determination of major and minor elements in coatings is described . The method relies on the back-scatter/fundamental parameter concept and provides a general solution to matrix problems . The method has been implemented and verified on spectrometers based both on tube excitation and radioisotope excitation . Results demonstrating some performance characteristics are presented . Sample inhomogeneity problems that impede quantification of low-Z elements in some types of paint are discussed .

Energy-dispersive x-ray Ñuorescence (EDXRF) was applied to the analysis of environmental samples, such as algae, microalgae and marine sediments, prepared as thin samples by mixing powder with two-component epoxy resins, and as intermediate samples in the form of pellets. Further, sulphur, the conce
Trace elemental analyses of rubies and sapphires from different countries of origin were carried out by the EDXRF technique. It was found that K, Ti, Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, Sr and Ba are generally present in natural rubies and Cr, Ni, Cu and Zr in synthetic ruby. The synthetic ruby shows a clean spectrum d
