XRF (X-ray fluorescence) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source.
X-Ray fluorescence is used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Cement production
- Research in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic petrology
- Soil surveys
- Mining (e.g., measuring the grade of ore)
- Ceramic and glass manufacturing
- Metallurgy (e.g., quality control)
- Environmental studies (e.g., analyses of particulate matter on air filters)
- Petroleum industry (e.g., sulfur content of crude oils and petroleum products)
