Particle-size effects can cause significant errors in x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of particulate materials. The effects are usually removed when samples are fused or dissolved to standardize the matrix for quantitative analysis. Recent improvements in numerical matrix corrections reduce the need to standardize the sample matrix via fusion or dissolution, particularly when the CEMAS method is used to estimate unmeasured light-element components of undefined materials for matrix calculations. A new method to correct for particle-size effects has therefore been examined to potentially avoid the need for destructive preparation of homogeneous samples.

AbstractMineralogical effects, which relate to the occurrence of an element in different forms of chemical combination, often are a problem to the X-ray analyst since these forms usually differ in X-ray sensitivity. An example of this is cited in connection with the analysis of sylvite concentrates for potassium. An evaluation is made of mineralogical effects and a quantitative relationship between X-ray intensity and mineral form and particle size is derived. If the particle size of a minor constituent is reduced sufficiently the mineralogical effect disappears. Target materials for X-ray sources are found to have only minor effects on relative intensities of different compounds of an element. Finally, it is concluded that the advantages of higher intensities gained through the use of target materials close in atomic number to the material being analyzed far outweigh particle size effects which are shown to be relatively small.
