Whether the K or L lines are used for theelements numbered 51 or higher depends on the availableinstrumentation.5. Significance and Use5.1 Certain elements present in water-formed deposits areidentified. Co

The overall composition of a deposit orso

9、me part of a deposit may be determined by chemical orspectrographic analysis; the constituents actually present aschemical substances may be identified by microscope or X-raydiffraction studies. Organisms may be identified by micro-scopical or biological methods.6. Apparatus6.1 Sample Preparation Eq

16、ogen phosphate crystal can be used for determiningmagnesium but lithium fluoride is much superior for copperand iron (high-intensity diffracted secondary rays and conse-quently greater sensitivity and potential precision). A salt,sodium chloride (NaCl), crystal is frequently employed forgeneral use,

19、of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity

20、of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Specification D 1193 Type II.7.3 Detector Gas, usual composition 90 % argon, 10 %methane (other compositions are used); usually used withflow-proportional counter for lines of longer wavelen

Preparation of Sample9.1 Reduce the entire sample of deposits to about 100 g(drying, degreasing, and crushing if necessary) and grind thissubsample to a powder that will pass a No. 100 (150-m) sieve.9.2 Mix the powd

23、ered sample thoroughly and remove about10 g for X-ray fluorescence testing (Note 1). Fuse a weighedamount with a weighed amount of a suitable flux (2 to 10 g offlux/g of sample) to present a reproducible surface compositionto the X-ray beam.NOTE 1At least semiquantitative results can be obtained mor

24、e quicklyby compacting (mounting) the test portion (9.3 and 9.4) and proceeding inaccordance with Sections 10, 11, and 12. The decrease in samplepreparation will actually result in improved accuracy in some instances.9.3 Grind not more than 10 g of the material prepared forX-ray analysis (sample or

25、fusion) to pass a No. 270 (53-msieve).9.4 Make duplicate wafers (or suitable mounts for theparticular equipment that will be used) by compacting thepowdered sample (precision and accuracy are improved bybriquetting).An internal standard is frequently added by fusionto the material to be compacted. S

26、ome samples may require abinder (generally organic and added in minimum concentra-tion) for reproducible packing and a smooth surface.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Follow the manufacturers instructions for the initialassembly, conditioning, and preparation of the fluorescentX-ray apparatus.10.2 F

27、ollow the manufacturers instructions with respect tocontrol settings.11. Excitation and Exposure11.1 Position the mounted sample in the special chamberprovided for this purpose; avoid touching or otherwise con-taminating the sample surface. Produce and record the spec-trum at the setting or settings

28、 recommended for the instrument.Prepare and analyze duplicate mounts for all samples (makeduplicate readings on each mount).11.2 Radiation MeasurementsMake radiation measure-ments for each component of concern using Table 1 as a guideto the frequencies of interest.NOTE 2See also Bureau of Mines Info

Calibration and Standardization12.1 Semiquantitative evaluations of the concentration ofeach component may be obtained di

34、rectly by reference tostandardization curves prepared from data obtained by expos-ing samples containing known quantities of these components.12.2 More accurate evaluations can be made by preparingspecial standards containing the same components as thesample in the ratios indicated by the semiquanti

35、tative determi-nations. These special standards can frequently be used tocalculate correction factors for the calibration curves to mini-mize interference effects of the other components of thesample.12.3 Internal standards may be used to provide directcomparison.13. Analytical Values13.1 Average th

36、e results obtained for each component fromat least two exposures of each mounted sample. Use theseaveraged values to read estimated concentrations from pre-pared calibration curves, charts, or tables.14. Statistical Values14.1 Precision of InstrumentThe precision of the instru-ment shall be determin

37、ed from replicate measurements (10 to20) on a single prepared sample without moving the sample.This precision shall be reported as the standard deviation of theinstrument and is obtained as the usual square root of thesummated deviations squared divided by 1 less than thenumber of replicate measurem

38、ents.14.2 Precision of TechniqueCalculate the standard devia-tion of the method from duplicate measurements on 10 to 20samples over at least 3 days, removing and resetting the samplebefore each new series of measurements. The standard devia-tion of this technique is the square root of the summatedde

39、viations squared divided by 4 times the number of analyses.14.3 Coefficient of variation of the practice is obtained bymultiplying the standard deviation by 100 and dividing by theaverage concentration in percent.15. Precision and Bias15.1 A precision and bias statement is not applicable. Referto Se
