Abstract
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis is finding increasing application in field assay of soils and stream sediments for geochemical prospecting; in borehole logging and core analysis for formation evaluation in mine control, and in on stream analysis for process control.The analytical capability of the method is determined by the choice of source, the energy of the exciting radiation and the energy resolution of the detector. The nature of the samples, their atomic number and concentration are also important. However, the most dominant constraints on limits of detection are often imposed by the environment at the region of measurement: by the borehole condition, the nature of the rock face or the form of the particulates and stability of the fluid in a process stream.
