## Trace elements m oil can be determined by adsorption of the oil sample onto magnesium oxide followed by thermal degradation of the organic material. The resulting powder is easily pressed into a pellet suitable for x-ray spectrometric analysis. The lower limit of detection depends upon the trac

โฆ Synopsis
A close correlation was found between the scattering of X-rays (the Rayleigh:Compton ratio) and oil yield as given by Fischer assay for a number of Tertiary Australian oil shales. Based on this relationship, a rapid laboratory procedure was developed, using an X-ray spectrometer, which should be useful in the control of mining and processing of oil shale deposits.

Transesterification of lipids using 14% boron trifluoride in methanol is widely used in lipid biochemistry to study fatty acid profles of various lipids by gas chromatograph~,-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Synthesis of fatty acyl pyrrolidides from fatty acid methyl esters is also important in GC/MS ana
Energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry was used for the analysis of silicate rocks using pressed powder pellets. It is observed that with this low-cost, simple and fast technique, trace elements such as V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Pb, Th, Rb, Sr, U, Y, Zr and Nb can be determined a
