Abstract We detail the design of a variable energy, x-ray fluorescence source using low activity (1.8×10 6 dpm) 99 Tc β that irradiates thin foils. By rotating among foils Ti, Zn, Nb, Ag, and Au, device produces x rays between 4 70 keV at rate near 1 Hz. When is placed in storage position, external radiation non-detectable. The shielding rotation mechanism permits use vacuum liquid nitrogen tem...

The purpose of this work is to investigate and quantify x-ray fluorescence, its production spectroscopy. Characteristic with different energies was obtained from six various elements using Am-241 source 59.5 keV. It found that energy intensity increase increasing atomic number material. X-ray spectroscopy studied for such in respect their Kα proportional counter. Furthermore, fluorescence produ...

in this work x-ray fluorescence (xrf) technique was used to evaluate the soil pollution withheavy metals for twenty four surface soil samples (0–10 cm in depth) from various locations to cover theindustrial area in omdurman city, sudan. concentrations of 10 elements cr, ni, cu, zn, zr, pb, rb, co, cd andas were determined. it was found that cr, cu and cd concentrations for almost all studied si...

according to circumstance of kerman sarcheshmeh cooper complex that its anode slime is mainly consisted of cu, ag, au, pb and se. in this work, recovery of silver from anode slime and subsequent synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaching solution was made. silver was separated from anode slime by using of hno3 and hcl. x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (xrf) was used to characterize anode sl...

Synchrotron X-ray imaging systems with fluorescence techniques was developed for biomedical researches in Brazilian Synchrotron Laboratory. An X-ray fluorescence microtomography system was implemented to analyse human prostate and breast samples and an X-ray microfluorescence system was implemented to study bone sites of human and animal samples with and without bone disorders.
