Advantages of Using ED-XRF Spectrometers for the Field Analysis of Soil and Sewage Sludge
Nov 16 2015
A new application brief detailing the advantages of using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) spectrometers to perform elemental analysis in the field on soil and sewage sludge samples is now available from Spectro. Determining the best course of action when addressing a contaminated environmental site requires both a precise identification of the contaminating elements and a determination of the amounts present. Traditionally, this elemental analysis is done in laboratories using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). But transporting soil and sewage sludge samples back from the field to a laboratory adds considerable time and cost to the remediation process. The new brief, ‘Analysis of Soil and Sewage Sludge in the Field with a Portable ED-XRF Spectrometer’, describes dramatic new improvements in portable ED-XRF spectrometers that enable environmental professionals to rapidly characterise samples in remote areas with minimal preparation and with high accuracy of analysis in environmental monitoring applications. The benefits versus laboratory-based elemental analysis include speed and cost-effectiveness.
