Effect of Particle Size on Compost Analysis by Portable X-ray Fluorescence
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) could be more widely used for analyzing organic amendments, because it allows for a fast and low-cost analysis and is easy to use, among other operational advantages. However, the heterogeneity of these materials causes

Water analysis via portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry [PDF]
Abstract Rapid, in-situ elemental water analysis would be an invaluable tool in studying polluted and/or salt-impacted waters. Analysis of water salinity has commonly used electrical conductance (EC); however, the identity of the elements responsible for the salinity are not revealed using EC.

Efficiency of Portable X-ray Fluorescence for Distinguishing Lead Slag
In the Minier Valley (France, Aveyron), an archaeological site excavation has led to the discovery of 25 kg of lead (Pb) slag, found in a secondary position. On a macroscopic level, these slags can be classified into two distinct categories, vitreous black and porous gray.

Direct Soil Gypsum Quantification via Portable X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry [PDF]
7 Pags., 6 Figs., 4 Tabls. Soil scientists have long struggled with an effective method for quantifying gypsum content in soils. Several methods exist, but each is fraught with problems. Recent enhancements to portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometers have provided better detection limits especially for lighter elements such as S, a key ...
