This article gives an overview of the state-of-the-art of multi-element and single-element
preconcentration procedures prior to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of liquid samples …

Microscopic X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) is a versatile tool in environmental analysis. We
review work done in this field from 2008 to 2010 and highlight new aspects. Overall, there is …

Abstract Background and aims Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum
L.) biofortification breeding programs require accurate and convenient methods to identify …

Background and aims Crop biofortification programs require fast, accurate and inexpensive
methods of identifying nutrient dense genotypes. This study investigated energy-dispersive …

This chapter explores the analytical methods currently available for the measurement of
heavy metal content in soils, ranging from well-established techniques routinely applied in …

Portable X‐ray fluorescence (PXRF) can provide a rapid and nondestructive analysis for
environmentally important elements in plant matrices. No previous publication has been …

Energy dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technique was applied for determination of
heavy metals present in some selected varieties of leafy vegetables, mostly consumed in …

A confocal micro‐X‐ray fluorescence (micro‐XRF) instrument equipped with a vacuum
chamber was newly developed. The instrument is operated under a vacuum condition to …

The study is devoted to X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) features of micro-and
nanosized powder mixtures of copper and nickel. XRF is a high accuracy method that allows …

La Garma Cave is part of the most exceptional Palaeolithic sites discovered at the end of the
20th century in the North of Spain and was included by UNESCO in the World Heritage List …
