STUDY ON X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS OF SILICA FUME USING SAMPLE BY PRESSING FORMING

Abstract

In this study, X-ray fluorescence analysis of silica fume using pressing forming sample was studied experimentally in order to obtain some basic data about the sample preparation method, which is one of the most important problems, toward the introduction of X-ray fluorescence analysis method to chemical analysis of silica fume. As a result, X-ray fluorescence analysis of silica fume was found to be applicable to chemical analysis by using samples prepared by pressing forming under the suitable sample preparation conditions, without influences of volatile components which are problems in the glass beads sample.
