▼ In deze studie wordt nagegaan welke informatie kan worden verkregen door technische onderzoeksmethodes toe te passen op tekeningen. De aandacht is daarbij gericht op tekenmaterialen die in de 15e tot en met de 17e eeuw zijn gebruikt.
Dergelijke onderzoeksresultaten kunnen bijdragen aan onze kennis over authenticiteit van een kunstwerk en over de gebruikte technieken bij de vervaardiging ervan. Ook voor conservering en restauratie is kennis van de gebruikte materialen en werkwijze onontbeerlijk.
Het eerste deel van deze studie bestaat uit literatuuronderzoek. Eerst wordt een overzicht van de voor tekeningen relevante technische onderzoeksmethoden gegeven. Dan worden de twee materiaalcomponenten van een tekening, de drager en het tekenmateriaal, besproken. Voor elk tekenmateriaal wordt de historische achtergrond beschreven en ook wordt een overzicht van de eigenschappen gegeven. Daarnaast wordt per tekenmateriaal een uitgebreid overzicht van de toepassingen van technisch onderzoek en de resultaten daarvan gegeven.
In het tweede deel van deze studie wordt het technisch onderzoek van een aantal tekeningen dat is uitgevoerd in het Leidse Prentenkabinet besproken. Dit deel geeft enkele praktische voorbeelden van onderzoek met een microscoop en een Röntgenfluorescentie-spectrometer.
In de discussie worden de kunsthistorische aspecten van de waarnemingen besproken en de relevantie van technisch materiaalonderzoek wordt toegelicht.

▼ Scientific investigation of paintings has been facilitated by the development of advanced non-de\-struc\-tive imaging methods. Characterization of painting stratigraphy traditionally requires extraction of small paint samples, thereby limiting its use to a few locations on a painting due to its destructive nature. Alternatively, non-destructive analysis of paint layer stratigraphy and structure across an entire painting often requires highly specialized and costly equipment, and/or the transport of priceless artworks. In addition, most methods are also typically limited to a localized point analysis. This document proposes an alternative method for the substructure examination of paintings using a mobile macro-XRF spectrometer and a stereographic approach with reduced step sizes. This is coupled with a novel data analysis method which will enable a global study of the topographical features of hidden paint layers. As a prototype to test the feasibility of the method, we utilized a two-layer test sample consisting of pastose bone black pigment on pastose lead white, with an aluminum substrate. High resolution 3D optical microscopy was utilized to establish a ground truth for the thicknesses of both paint layers. Through successful registration of MA-XRF scans obtained with varying detector geometries into a single hyrbid image, we were able to find a strong correlation between the quanitative height data obtained with optical microscopy and our hybrid XRF image. Our findings indicate that utilizing this approach for visualizing hidden paint layer topographies proves to be very promising. Coupled with novel data fusion algorithms and visualization techniques, additional insight about painterly technique can thus be gained by utilizing existing MA-XRF scanners to scan a painting in multiple orientations.

▼ Characterization of the geological and geo-chemical footprint of the Koolhoven gold deposit, Suriname. IAMGold operates Rosebel N.V. Gold Mines in Suriname, South America. The producing deposits are characterized to be Archaen greenstone hosted quartz-carbonate vein deposits. Regional exploration projects are located in rainforest environment. Geologists are therefore confronted with difficult access, few outcrops and deep weathering. Efficient exploration is crucial and for this reason a profound understanding of the local geology, gold depositional mechanism and signature is required. There is a hypothesis that a temperature gradient resulting from the flow of hydrothermal fluids through the shear and tension veins will have caused alteration halos to be formed around the gold deposit. Specific element enrichment and depletion are also expected near the gold deposition as a result of changing pressure/temperature regime and fluid characteristics. Recognizing and understanding alteration halos will increase the target area in an exploration campaign. To test this hypothesis 28 boreholes with a maximum downhole depth of 230 meters were sampled across the producing Koolhoven pit on the Rosebel concession. 85 Samples were analysed for trace element and major element content in a laboratory. 904 Samples were analysed using an X-50 Mobile
XRF device for element content. 1573 Spectral measurements were obtained using a Hi-Res Terraspec and 40 thin sections were analysed using a conventional polarization microscope and electron microprobe. The petrographic analysis reveals the presence of quartz, carbonate, chlorite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, hematite, rutile, clay mineral and feldspar including plagioclase. Bleached veins selvages are associated with high concentrations of carbonate and sericite, pyrite porphyroblasts and are devoid of chlorite. The sulfide mineral content does not exceed 5%. The conglomerate clasts are identified to be of volcanic origin mainly, hereby supporting the major element results. The veins contain quartz, carbonate, chlorite and the accessory minerals white-mica and tourmaline. Due to the low degree of deformation the veins are concluded to be of late timing compared to the main deformation. The use of major element analysis has resulted in the effective differentiation of lithologies present in the Koolhoven pit. Siltstone/mudstone, two types of greywacke (A and B), sandstone, conglomerate and volcanic rock ranging from mafic to felsic have been recognized. Greywacke B and conglomerate are spatially related and their major-element content resembles that of the volcanic rock. The use of log-ratios to analyse the trace element data suggests the presence of correlations between specific element ratios and gold concentrations. The best results were obtained by analysing one borehole a time. Different correlations are suggested in the different boreholes. It therefore remains uncertain to use the presented results for the entire deposit. The visible and near infrared spectral analysis…

▼ This thesis focuses on the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) testing that was performed on the
University of Montana’s (UM) ethnographic collection. This collection is housed in a repository
in the UM Anthropological Curation Facility (UMACF). The main concern over the artifacts
and the reason behind the decision to perform such testing was to determine if any hazardous
pesticides were used as part of past conservation treatments on the collection over the course of
its history at the University of Montana. The XRF tests were performed during the winter of
2011-2012 on over 350 artifacts. The results had been previously unanalyzed. The result of the
scanning yielded 844 graphs showing the levels of nine different heavy metals and elements.
These elements included arsenic, lead, mercury, bromine, barium, selenium, cadmium,
chromium, and antimony, all of which can be hazardous to humans who may interact with the
artifacts. Further, the presence of some of these elements, such as bromine, may indicate that
items were treated with pesticides.
A sample of 131 of the artifacts and 258 of the test results showed high concentrations of
arsenic, lead, and antimony on a majority of the artifacts. The cause of the readings could be
from a variety of means ranging from the manufacturing process of the items, environmental
influences, or pesticide dust from a previous application. The pesticide lead arsenate, however,
uses all three of the metals, lead, arsenic, and antimony. The presence of these three metals and
the high correlation between the concentration of lead and the concentration of arsenic could be
indicators that this pesticide was used in the collection.
The conclusion of the testing showed that although these elements may be detected on the
artifact, the results of XRF testing are inconclusive. XRF can provide researchers with the
information that the element is present but lacks any method to explain the reason behind it.
Further tests at the UMACF could prove vital in explaining these results. Until these additional
tests are complete, caution, such as using nitrile gloves and respirators should be used in the
collection when handling the artifacts.

▼ Preocupações com o acúmulo de lixo plástico e seu consequente impacto ambiental levaram os cientistas e a indústria química, nas últimas décadas, a uma busca por plásticos biodegradáveis e plásticos produzidos com matérias-primas de fontes renováveis. Entre eles, encontram-se o poli(ácido lático), o poli(?-caprolactona), os poli(hidroxialcanoatos), os polímeros de amido e os polímeros sintéticos que recebem aditivos que facilitam a degradação, conhecidos como oxi-biodegradáveis. Em decorrência dos processos de produção e uso de aditivos e corantes, os plásticos podem conter constituintes que não fazem parte das moléculas do polímero. Por esta razão, o objetivo do trabalho foi determinar os elementos químicos presentes em amostras de polímeros biodegradáveis, sacolas oxi-biodegradáveis e sacolas de amido distribuídas em supermercados, empregando-se análise por ativação neutrônica instrumental (INAA) e espectroscopia de fluorescência de raios X (XRF). A identificação dos polímeros das sacolas de supermercado foi realizada por espectroscopia de absorção no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR). Os resultados das análises químicas dos polímeros não processados evidenciaram baixas concentrações dos elementos químicos. Já os plásticos das sacolas apresentaram altas concentrações de cálcio, sódio, zinco e titânio, provenientes do uso de cargas minerais, corantes e outros aditivos. Em algumas amostras, as concentrações de zinco, cobalto, cromo, molibdênio e chumbo excederam os limites estabelecidos pela norma ABNT NBR 15448-2:2008 para polímeros biodegradáveis. As análises também indicaram que os aditivos pró-oxidantes utilizados nas sacolas oxi-biodegradáveis são baseados em compostos químicos que contêm ferro. Os resultados obtidos comprovam que os plásticos biodegradáveis podem ser utilizados de forma segura em embalagens e outras aplicações, desde que se evitem os aditivos contendo elementos químicos tóxicos e outras substâncias perigosas
Concerns about the accumulation of plastic waste and its consequent environmental impact have led scientists and chemical industry, in recent decades, to search for biodegradable plastics and plastics made with renewable raw materials. Among them are included poly (lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyhydroxyalkanoates, starch polymers and synthetic polymers having additives which facilitate degradation, known as oxo-biodegradable. Due to production processes and use of additives and dyes, plastics may contain small amounts of chemical elements that are not part of the polymer molecules. For this reason, the objective of this study was to determine chemical elements in samples of biodegradable polymers, oxy-biodegradable and starch bags distributed in supermarkets by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). The polymers of plastic bags were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results of chemical analysis of unprocessed polymers have shown low concentrations of chemical elements. On the other hand,…

▼ O presente trabalho tem por objetivo caracterizar e identificar a natureza de recursos cerâmicos brasileiros utilizando métodos físicos não destrutivos. O estudo está inserido na área interdisciplinar da Arqueometria e envolve a participação de pesquisadores do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnografia da Universidade de São Paulo (MAE-USP). As amostras analisadas são de grande interesse arqueológico, pois foram coletadas em uma região do Pantanal sul-matogrossense que possui um complexo processo de ocupação envolvendo diversas tradições culturais, entre as quais a tradição Guarani e a tradição Pantanal. Os fragmentos cerâmicos foram caracterizados através das técnicas de Emissão de Raios X Induzido por Partícula (PIXE) e Fluorescência de Raios X (XRF) para a determinação da composição da matriz da pasta cerâmica e através da técnica de Radiografia Computadorizada para a investigação da estrutura interna das peças. A técnica PIXE permitiu uma caracterização dos elementos majoritários encontrados na matriz cerâmica (Z<26), usados na previsão do valor da densidade da matriz. A técnica XRF foi utilizada para determinar as concentrações elementares com destaque para os elementos minoritários (Z>26, wt%<5%) presentes na pasta cerâmica. Essas técnicas, quando associadas a métodos de análise estatísticos permitiram um melhor entendimento do conjunto de amostras. Os resultados encontrados apontam uma clara diferença na composição elementar das amostras encontradas nos diferentes sítios arqueológicos e pertencentes às diferentes tradições. Com a aplicação da técnica de Radiografia as amostras foram separadas de acordo com a presença de tempero em sua estrutura e através da análise das imagens radiográficas foi determinada a densidade dos fragmentos. Neste trabalho foi possível estabelecer uma relação entre os fragmentos cerâmicos estudados às suas tradições, assim como aos sítios arqueológicos nos quais foram coletados.

The study is inserted in the interdisciplinary area of the Archaeometry and involves the participation of researchers from the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of the University of São Paulo (MAE-USP). The analyzed samples are of great archaeological interest, as they have been collected in a region of Pantanal in the state of Mato Grosso do sul with a complex settlement process that involves different cultural traditions like the Guarani tradition and the tradition Pantanal. The ceramic fragments were characterized through the techniques of X-ray Emission Particle-Induced (PIXE) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to determine the composition of the matrix of the ceramic paste and using the technique of Computed Radiography for the investigation of internal structure of the sherds. PIXE technique allowed a characterization of majoritarian elements found in ceramic matrix (Z < 26) and was used in the prediction of the density of the paste. XRF technique was used to determine the elemental…

▼ Surface soils in 20 urban parks in the Greater Victoria area were sampled and screened using a portable X-ray fluorescence (
XRF) analyzer. Bioaccessibility results indicated that human health risks were acceptable at all sites. Bioaccessibility was compared to soil properties using regression. Generally, a positive correlation was discovered between soil organic carbon content and percent bioaccessibility. Total metal results using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry showed strong correlation with
XRF results indicating that
XRF is a useful tool in assisting with sample selection for laboratory analysis. This study also focused on measuring the distance between known industrial emission sources and the parks. Generally, a negative correlation was discovered between emission sources and soil metals concentrations (i.e., metal concentrations were higher closer to the source).

▼ Abstract Centrally located in Ludvika, between the central station and the south-eastern part of Lake Väsman, the area called "Väsmanstranden" is located. The closeness to both Väsman and all its nearby natural deposits and the railroad have created excellent conditions for many businesses to flourish on the site over the years. For example, there have been sawmills, impregnation operations, a concrete plant and several oil companies. In addition, an extensive transhipment of sulphide ore resulting from the nearby mines has taken place from boat to rail near the water. Several of these historical activities have left pollution of various kinds. Investigations carried out have shown, in particular, oil pollution and metals. Today, Väsmanstranden is used to a relatively small extent. However, greater utilization of the site is to be expected, as the municipality intends to carry out extensive exploitation of the area. The purpose of this thesis was to carry out a supplementary and extended environmental risk analysis of Väsmanstranden. For practical and economic reasons, the analysis was limited to only include metals. Soil sampling, based on a sampling plan designed to supplement previous surveys, was carried out in a total of 40 points. The sampled soil was quantitatively analyzed with XRF, Xray fluorescence. The metals whose concentration was investigated were lead, barium, zinc, cobalt, arsenic, copper, chromium, cadmium, nickel and mercury. The study also included conducting a site-specific survey study in which Väsmanstranden's current visitor frequency was mapped. In the more extended part of the work, site-specific guideline values were generated using the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's guideline value model. This was done for the metals lead, barium, zinc, nickel and arsenic, which were detected at high concentrations in many places in the area. For the same metals, a modeling of dispersion and an exposure analysis were also performed. All of the surveyed sub-areas of Väsmanstranden were found to contain at least some metal in a content that exceeds the limit for which can be tolerated when ”less sensitive landuse” is taken into consideration. In significantly more test points, the limit for ”sensitive landuse” was exceeded. Metal concentrations exceeding developed site-specific guideline values also occurred in all subareas. On a promontory in one of the northern parts of the study area that had not previously been sampled, arsenic was found in high concentrations. There is a risk that the levels of arsenic, barium, nickel and lead present can lead to unacceptable exposure in an envisaged future scenario. The dispersion modeling showed the risk of spreading to groundwater at levels that exceed assessment bases derived from the Geological Survey of Sweden. Although both model and parameter uncertainties exist in the methods used, it is clear that measures that reduce risks to humans, animals and the environment should be taken. Probably, remediation consisting of…

▼ The United States is currently looking at options for handling of spent nuclear fuel.Currently, there are ≈ 70, 000 metric tons of spent fuel in storage in the US alone.Pyroprocessing is a possible method for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing which was provento work at Argonne National Laboratory. This masters thesis showcases a method forempirically modeling hybrid k-edge densitometry, one of the numerous possible safeguardsneeded for a reprocessing facility. This is accomplished by using MCNP to perform 54sets of 2-stage simulations for KED and
XRF, respectively. The end results are empiricallinear functions for the magnitude of the k-edge drop of uranium and plutonium, as wellas empirical functions for the
XRF peaks for uranium and plutonium. These two empiricalfunctions are functions of uranium concentration and plutonium to uranium mass fractionratio, respectively.The semi-empirical functions are then implemented into the Sandia National LaboratorySeparation and Safeguards Performance Model EChem (SSPM Echem) Simulink model.The SSPM is a Simulink model which can use modular safeguards functions for methodssuch as HKED, passive gamma, and passive neutron detection. These types of safeguardsmodules help to evaluate how much the standard error of inventory difference (SEID) isaffected by additional safeguards, providing a quantifiable value. The empirical functionsas well as multiple representative figures and tables are presented, showcasing the ability ofthe Simulink module to correctly predict the KED drops as well as the
XRF peaks. Theultimate goal is to combine the KED and
XRF into HKED measurements to get a value forthe mass fraction of plutonium in salt. Plots showcasing the differences between the HKEDmodule output and SSPM’s internal mass tracking are shown.

▼ Soft-paste porcelain was produced in Britain in great quantities between the mid-18th and early 19th centuries. Due to industrial secrecy and the complexities of creating a product that would survive high-temperature firing, a range of paste recipes was employed by dozens of factories. This has resulted in an array of porcelains which vary in their elemental composition and mineralogy. This research carries out a meta-analysis of the published data for porcelain bodies and glazes and concludes that some discrimination can be achieved using the major and minor elemental composition of the bodies, and that for the glazes intra-factory variation is often greater than inter-factory variation in composition. A pilot investigation of the trace elemental composition of British porcelain is carried out using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy, which finds compositional groups corresponding to different sources of clay and silica raw materials.
In the interests of preserving intact objects, there is recognised a need for a non-destructive method for analysing British porcelain, in order to provenance and date objects. Such a method would rely on data from the surface of the object, which is typically covered by glaze and over-glaze coloured enamels, and this research demonstrates that the formulae used for the glaze and enamels are in some cases characteristic of the factory, or workshop, and period at which they were created. Hand-Held XRF analysis is used to analyse the glaze, underglaze blue and polychrome enamels on a selection of porcelain objects from different factories, and compositional traits are identified that allow some factories and periods to be distinguished. Glass standards are developed, which are representative of the glaze and enamel composition, and which could allow X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data to be calibrated for fully quantitative results.

▼ This study aims to assess the potential environmental risks posed by sediments in five lakes affected by present or historical metallurgy. Special attention is paid to the lakes Dammsjön and Värlingen in mid Sweden, where the sediments were contaminated after a breach in a nearby tailings dam used for storing residue from a metal processing plant. The sediments were examined for their metal content by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) analysis of loose powder samples. A subset of the samples from Dammsjön and Värlingen was also used for a simple pH-analysis and an experimental XRF analysis of evaporated leachate. To obtain a larger variety of samples for the XRF analysis of evaporated leachate, loose powder sediment and leachate from three additional lakes affected by extractive metallurgy, Tisken, Gruvsjön and Storjuktan, were likewise examined with XRF. The sediments from all lakes contained high levels of metals, and environmental standards for Pb (in all lakes) and Cd (in Storjuktan) were exceeded. The leachate tests showed that metals can be extracted using this method, including Cu and Ni in lake Tisken. This might indicatehigher bioavailability, but further studies are needed to confirm this interpretation. Dammsjön andVärlingen are contaminated by several metals, including Hg and As. The pH-analysis indicated that the deposited sediment is not the source of the prolonged low pH in Dammsjön, and that another source, possibly continued leaks from the tailings dam, needs to be found. The results call for close environmental monitoring, to minimise further contamination and damage to the environment.

▼ This Master's project explores the viability of portable XRF (pXRF) for the purposes of identifying the chemical signatures of ceramics collected as part of archaeological research. The work presented makes clear that this method is viable and opens the door for future opportunities with extensive research collections located in storage units and museums precisely because the analysis is portable. No longer will researchers face the hurdles of export permissions for samples. The project presents results from three separate research phases. The first data collection tested the method with a control group, corroborating results from what is traditionally seen as a far more rigorous method for chemical sourcing of archaeological ceramics, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The second and third phases handled much larger datasets, setting the stage for future research. Additionally, an investigation of data collection efficiency shows that existing protocols produce statistically consistent results, yet that protocol economy can reduce overall analysis cost (in terms of time) for certain classes of ceramics.

▼ L'arsenic est un metalloïde toxique et cancérigène. Ubiquiste dans la pedosphere, il est très sensibleaux fluctuations des conditions redox du sol, ce qui influe significativement sa toxicité et mobilité. Nousétudions le cycle biogéochimique global de l'arsenic, en tenant compte de l'usage croissant des ressources, etpassons en revue l'importance respective de l’arsenic geogénique et anthropogénique dans l’environnement.La contamination à l’arsenic est souvent diffuse dans les bassins sédimentaires de l'Europe. Cependant, desconcentrations dans l'eau interstitielle du sol peuvent être élevées lors de périodes de saturation du solcausées par la monté des eaux souterraines ou les inondations, prévues d'augmenter dû aux changementsclimatiques. La spectrométrie de fluorescence X quantitative et sans standard a été utilisée pour analyserl'arsenic dans des sols relativement contaminés de la plaine alluviale de la Saône au moyen de protocoles depréparation d'échantillons conçus pour optimiser la précision d'analyse et l'exactitude in situ aux bassesconcentrations d'arsenic. L'arsenic dans ces sols est associe aux (hydr)oxydes du fer et de manganèse de lataille d'argile colloïdale. Ceux-ci subissent une dissolution réductrice par les microorganismes lors desinondations, libérant une importante concentration d'arsenic dans la phase aqueuse. Si, par la suite, l'arsenicdégagé n'est pas éliminé avec l'eau de crue évacuée, il est ré-immobilisé pendant l'oxydation du sol et lareprécipitation des oxydes métalliques. Grâce à une combinaison novatrice d'analyses chimiques par voiehumide, d’écologie microbienne, de spectroscopie ainsi que de modélisation thermodynamique et cinétique,nous démontrons que les cycles d'oxydo-réduction séquentiels entraînent une atténuation d'arsenic aqueuxdans des conditions réductrices dû à la coprécipitation croissante, et a une diminution de l'activitémicrobienne causée par l’appauvrissement en matière organique labile. Des processus d'atténuationsimilaires sont observés en l'absence d'activité microbienne pour Cr et As dans des argiles pyriteuses lorsquecelles-ci sont exposés aux oscillations redox provoquées par l'ajout de substances humiques réduites. Ainsi,nous montrons que les effets cumulatifs de cycles redox successifs sont extrêmement importants pour lamobilité de divers contaminants dans l'environnement.
Arsenic is a toxic and carcinogenic metalloid, ubiquitous in the pedosphere and highly sensitive tofluctuations in soil redox conditions which dramatically influence both its toxicity and mobility. We reviewthe global biogeochemical cycle of arsenic in light of increasing resource usage and re-evaluate theimportance of anthropogenic and geogenic arsenic inputs to the exogenic cycle. Arsenic contamination isoften diffuse in European sedimentary basins. Despite this, concentrations in soil pore-water may be highduring periods of soil saturation caused by rising groundwater or surface flooding which is predicted toincrease due to climatic change.

▼ Painted artworks are complex multi-layered materials studied over the time with several sophisticated imaging techniques. Scanning MA-XRF technique provides information on pigment materials and their distribution over the painted surface in non-invasive manner. Further, it provides information on conservation state of artworks and also their authenticity can be approached. The penetrating nature of X-rays allows visualizing overpainted hidden pictorial compositions, not visible to naked eye. In the present PhD activity an advanced XRF scanning system for a real time imaging of painted artworks has been developed at the LANDIS laboratory of LNS-INFN and IBAM-CNR in Catania (Italy).The MA-XRF scanner presents a modular set-up to be assembled/disassembled in a short time (30-60 min) and easily moved in museums for analyses in situ. Spectrometric head is moved by three linear stages covering an area up to 110 × 70 × 20 cm3 (XYZ) . All motion sensors and their synchronization with the acquisition system are fully controlled by a custom developed and programmed Control Unit (CU) and all instrument operations can be in real-time monitored by a graphical user interface (GUI). The CU controls also the Z-axis movement, along the focal distance, via the communication with a laser triangulation sensor maintaining dynamically constant the painting-spectrometer distance in case of non-flat sample surface. Further, the CU interrupts immediately the scan if the safety distance is overcame. SDD detector coupled to a Digital X-ray Processors (DXP) that works in a time-list event mode (TLIST) allows to perform scans in real time (or in continuous mode). Ultra-fast scans can be performed up to 100 mm/sec covering the total area in 4.2 hours. The MA-XRF device is aimed to the macroscopic analysis of large size paintings. However, the use of a polycapillary lens equipping the X-ray source, allows to combine imaging at both the macro and micro scale of length with a simple adjustment of the sample position along the focal distance obtaining a lateral resolution up to 35 µm. A long range optical microscope is used for the accurate positioning of the painting. To date, performances of this device in terms of lateral resolution, scanning speed and dimensions of the scanning area, makes it as one of the most (or even the most) efficient portable MA-XRF systems available in the scientific community for studying paintings. X-ray spectra are processed in real-time during the scanning by the non-linear least-squares fitting procedure developed in PyMCa and integrated in the in-house programmed analysis software with a maximum processing speed of 5000 fitted spectra per second. Further a number of editing and mathematical tools for processing the images in live-mode are available. During the present research activity, the scanner was validated by studying three painted artworks on different support (canvas, wood and paper) and different size, for which the instrument has been moved in situ. MA-XRF provided valuable information through the…

▼ Niniejsza praca przedstawia szczegółową analizę zapisu osadowego z trzech jezior: Strzeszyńskiego, Kierskiego i Glinnowieckiego, a główny problem jaki podejmuje to zmiany środowiska w Wielkopolsce w trakcie holocenu. Rekonstrukcja przedstawiona w pracy opiera się przede wszystkim na wynikach uzyskanych ze skanowania
XRF i jest uzupełniona analizą podatności magnetycznej, gęstości objętościowej, azotu całkowitego, pierwiastków śladowych, izotopów stabilnych węgla i azotu, pyłku i okrzemek. Modele wieku analizowanych rdzeni zostały opracowane na podstawie 64 dat radiowęglowych. Wyniki pokazują, że osady Jeziora Strzeszyńskiego zawierają najbardziej szczegółowy zapis zmian środowiska, który sugeruje że po okresie dynamicznych przekształceń jezior i ich zlewni przed ~10,2 tys. lat BP nastąpiła faza długotrwałej stabilizacji. Faza ta zakończyła się ok. 1,7 tys. lat BP z powodu zaburzeń środowiska związanych z działalnością człowieka. Zapis
XRF z osadów Jeziora Strzeszyńskiego ujawnia 9 krótkotrwałych zaburzeń sedymentacji (10,1; 9,3; 6,4–6,1; 5,5–5,1; 4,7–4,5; 2,7–2,4; 1,3–1,2; 0,8– 0,6; 0,4–0,2 tys. lat BP) wynikających pradwdopodobnie z wahań poziomu wody wywołanych zmianami klimatycznymi. W celu oszacowania skutków upadku Meteorytu w Morasku, który miał miejsce na terenie dzisiejszego Poznania ok. 5,5 tys. lat temu, osady rdzeni korespondujące ze środkowym holocenem zostały poddane wielowskaźnikowej analizie przeprowadzonej w wysokiej rozdzielczości. Brak wyraźnego zapisu tego zdarzenia w osadach wskazuje, że zdarzenie to miało niewielki wpływ na środowisko badanego obszaru.

▼ Millions of people worldwide use cosmetics daily and some of these are unwittingly exposing themselves to dangerous levels of toxic elements such as lead. In addition to lead, mica has been widely used in cosmetics for its shimmery and reflective effect. Ground mica powder is pearlescent and satiny, qualities that have made it a common ingredient in cosmetics where it provides a shimmery, glittery, and reflective effects. Though mica is harmless as a solid, its powder or dust can cause both short- and long-term health problems. A means of identifying cosmetics that contain mica would be useful to ensure that measures are taken to avoid inhalation of potentially harmful particles. An investigation was performed on more than one hundred cosmetic samples from countries all over the world checking them for lead and for rubidium ions that commonly contained in mica. The samples were acid digested and then analyzed using an Agilent Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer (MP-AES). Moreover, these samples were investigated using an EDAX Orbis X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer as a facile rapid non-destructive method to detect these elements in cosmetics without the necessity of dissolution. This part of the investigation consisted of making lead
XRF standards using silica gel and rubidium
XRF standards using muscovite mica. It was found that some of the cosmetics samples did contain high concentrations of these elements. Several of the samples exceeded The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maximum recommended level for lead in cosmetics (10 ppm). In order to avoid the necessity of acid digestion, the
XRF spectrometer was calibrated using lead-containing silica gel standards and the same was done for rubidium using mica and rubidium-containing silica gel standards. This allowed the cosmetic samples to be quantitatively analyzed for lead and rubidium (mica) without destroying the samples. The
XRF results were compared to the concentrations determined using MP-AES to validate the use of the
XRF spectrometer for analysis of lead in cosmetics. A relationship between lead and mica has been identified that explains the mysterious existence of lead as in impurity in mica-containing cosmetics.

▼ The Late Cretaceous (89.5-82 Ma) Niobrara Formation is the primary target for hydrocarbon development in many fields throughout Colorado. The formation is composed of two members: the basal Fort Hays Limestone and the overlying Smoky Hill Member. Historically, production has centered on the Smoky Hill Member but recent success in the Fort Hays Limestone has sparked interest in this underlying unit. Compared to the Smoky Hill Member, the Fort Hays Limestone is markedly different in lithology, sedimentology, and elemental composition. Through detailed core descriptions, measured outcrop sections,
XRF analysis, thin section petrography, and FESEM analysis, this study develops a better understanding of the unique depositional history that characterizes the Fort Hays. In order to assess regional changes, five cores and five outcrops were utilized to represent the Fort Hays on a depositional basin scale. Sedimentologically, the Fort Hays Limestone is characterized by rhythmic bedding of chalk and marl which represent climatic fluctuations that result from perturbations in the Earth’s orbit around the sun (i.e. Milankovitch cycles). Chalks were deposited during times of arid climate when siliciclastic input from the Sevier highlands was minimal and carbonate production was enhanced. Chalks are characterized by extensive bioturbation suggesting well-oxygenated benthic conditions. Conversely, marls were deposited under humid conditions where increased terrestrial runoff from the Sevier highlands diluted ongoing carbonate production. Marls are characterized by a laminite sedimentary fabric suggesting that benthic conditions were less-oxygenated and unable to support benthic fauna. Ichnological observations reveal that the Fort Hays Limestone is characterized by high frequency cycles of rapid oxygenation and deoxygenation. In the field, outcrops were measured for total Fort Hays and individual bed thicknesses and described for lithologic changes. Western outcrops exhibit changes in lithology from base to top that suggest an overall rise in sea level. Scour surfaces in the westernmost outcrops suggest a higher energy environment during marl deposition. The absence of these surfaces to the east in Hays, Kansas suggests a quieter, lower energy environment. Elemental data from X-ray fluorescence (
XRF) were used to generate spatial elemental concentration maps for the Western Interior Seaway during Fort Hays time. This data suggests that detrital elements (Al, Si, Zr, and K) are primarily sourced from the west and northwest with an additional southwest source during humid climates. Carbonate elements were brought up from the south via Gulfian currents. Finally, a manganese anomaly found exclusively in the Fort Hays appears to originate from the north. The element is thought to be enriched in sea water at this time as a result of increased sea floor spreading and carried down to the basin via Arctic currents. The Fort Hays Limestone is characterized by a unique depositional history that resulted in the regional lithological and…

▼ The scientific analysis of historical paintings has been traditionally restricted to the analysis of paint cross-section samples. This invasive method provides extensive information but is inherently limited in scope due to the extreme heterogeneity of paintings. In the last decade, non-invasive spot analyses and spectral imaging methods have become increasingly widespread in cultural heritage science. Two of these methods are macroscopic X-ray fluorescence imaging spectroscopy (MA-
XRF) and reflectance imaging spectroscopy (RIS). These methods allow for 2D-scanning the entire surface of a painting and provide complementary information on elemental and molecular composition and distribution of the paint. However, these methods are often used only for qualitative analysis of the paint based on relative distribution maps, revealing only limited information about the paint layer stratigraphy. This thesis is an exploration of a combined approach for quantitative analysis of paint composition and layer stratigraphy using MA-
XRF and RIS. The research used a set of specially prepared paint samples of mixtures and multiple layer applications based on historically relevant pigments which were scanned using MA-
XRF and RIS in the visible and Near IR range (400-2500 nm). The spectral data acquired were processed and analyzed in a variety of ways, including Non-negative Matrix Factorization, Non-Linear Least Square Fitting, among other methods; in an attempt to gather quantitative compositional and stratigraphic data. In these trials, using characteristic reflectance features in the visible range together with a comparison of highly and lightly absorbed X-ray fluorescence lines allowed for the identification and quantification of surface specific compounds related to the top paint layer. Further comparison of fluorescence lines and absorption features in the Near IR range provided a potential avenue for quantification of subsurface paint layers. The results confirm that the combination of these methods allows to reveal the paint stratigraphy. The project provides samples and data sets which may serve as the basis for the development of a robust algorithm to address this issue in the future.

▼ O Brasil é um dos maiores e mais importantes produtores de gemas do planeta, além
de destacar-se pela qualidade e variedade gemológica. Possui um amplo e diversificado
cenário produtivo abrangendo principalmente o mercado externo, tendo como principais
setores de consumo a joalheria e a indústria de lapidação, além de uma ampla gama de
utilização nas indústrias eletrônica, siderúrgica, elétrica, óptica, instrumentação, artesanato
e agricultura. Com o avanço tecnológico, os estudos e pesquisas mineralógicos são de
extrema importância para o entendimento das propriedades físico-químicas, a identificação
e a caracterização química e estrutural das gemas, pois o emprego das gemas na indústria é
função da sua composição elementar. No projeto desenvolvido, foram realizadas
caracterizações elementares em amostras de algumas gemas brasileiras mediante a
utilização da técnica de Fluorescência de Raios X por Dispersão em Energia (EDXRF). A
determinação qualitativa de elementos teve como objetivo principal de analisar e verificar
possíveis presenças de elementos e impurezas que não fazem parte da composição
elementar pertencente à classe dos silicatos e carbonatos. As análises foram realizadas em
dois equipamentos portáteis diferentes, o mini-XRF da Amptek e o ARTAX 200 da
Bruker, com programas de aquisição e análise dos dados desses fabricantes. Os minerais
analisados foram: Ametista, Calcita laranja, Ônix, Jade, Citrino, Quartzo incolor, Quartzo
leitoso, Quartzo azul, Quartzo verde e Quartzo rosa. Verificou-se a existência de íons
metálicos, em especial metais de transição como Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni e Cu. As possíveis
razões para a existência destes íons são discutidas no trabalho. Os dados das análises
elementares por EDXRF indicam coerência nas composições elementares obtidos com os
dois sistemas portáteis de XRF e observa-se que ambos apresentam eficiência em relação
aos elementos analisados, indicando que a técnica pode ser utilizada para auxiliar no
desenvolvimento de estudos mineralógicos.

besides being distinguished by the quality and gemological variety. It has a wide and
diversified production scenario covering mainly the foreign market, with the main consumer
sectors being jewelery and the stoning industry, as well as a wide range of use in the
electronics, steel, electrical, optics, instrumentation, handicrafts and agriculture industries.
With the technological advance, mineralogical studies and research are extremely important
for the understanding of physicochemical properties, identification and chemical and
structural characterization of gemstones, since the use of gemstones in industry is a function
of their elemental composition. In the developed project, elemental characterizations were
performed in samples of some Brazilian gems using the Energy Dispersion X-Ray
Fluorescence technique (EDXRF). The qualitative determination of elements had as main
objective to analyze and verify possible presence of elements and…

▼ This diploma theses is about the study of the effect of individual components of printing compositions intended for material printing of identificaton codes, read by X-ray fluorescence. Two printing technologies were used – screen printing and pad printing. The composition of the print compositions has been optimized in term of visual recognition, print repeatability, a dry matter content providing an X-ray fluorescence signal, as well as optimization of the material print process leading to the creation of invisible identification tags for archive documents.

▼ Stoft är ett eoliskt, klastiskt silt-material som blåst från exponerade områden via atmosfären och avsätts i form av löss-sekvenser på andra ställen i världen. Dessa sekvenser utgör ett naturligt arkiv som innehåller information om tidigare förändringar i klimatet ända bak till kvartärtidens början för ungefär 2.5 miljoner år sedan. Mycket av stoftet i Europa avsattes under senaste istiden som var för cirka hundra tusen till tio tusen år sedan. En löss-sekvens är lokaliserad i Madaras i södra Ungern och är tio meter tjock, för det här projektet har stoft-prover från sekvensen analyserats med röntgenstrålning. Analysen visar vilka och vilken halt av grundämnen som stoftproverna från de olika nivåerna innehåller, vilket i sin tur hjälper till att rekonstruera klimat från den senaste istiden. Röntgenstrålningen har genererats av en apparat som heter Brukar S1 Titan och utför metoden XRF som står för X-ray Flourescence, vilken har utförts på Geocentrum på Uppsala Universitet. Tolkning av resultatet samt jämförelse med tidigare forskning ska hjälpa till att förstå klimatförändringar från senaste istiden genom att undersöka vittring och ursprungskälla. Resultatet indikerar på att information om klimat är bevarat i sekvensen, då slutsatsen är att vittring har haft en svag men tydlig effekt på stoftet som avsatts i Madaras, och att ändringar av stoftets ursprungskälla inte har påverkat den studerade sekvensen.
Dust is aeolian, clastic silt material that has been eroded from exposed land surfaces, blown via the atmosphere and deposited as loess sequences in other areas in the world. Loess contains information about changes in the climate all the way back to the beginning of the Quaternary, approximately 2.5 million years ago. Research shows that a lot of the European dust was deposited during the last glacial of the Quaternary period, which was from approximately one hundred thousand to ten thousand years ago. One loess sequence is located in Madaras in southern Hungary and is 10 meters thick, in this project, dust samples from the sequence have been analyzed with XRF (X-ray Flourescence). The analysis shows which and what percentage of elements the samples contain, which in turn will help to reconstruct climate from the last glacial. The analysis was conducted using a XRF machine called Bruker S1 Titan and was done at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden. Interpreting of the results, as well as comparing with earlier research, will help to understand climate changes from the latest glacial by examine weathering and dust source. The result indicates that information about past climate is preserved at the site, because of the conclusion that says that weathering has had a weak but distinct effect on the dust deposited at Madaras, and that the dust source changes do not have affected the studied sequence.

▼ Les nouveaux matériaux de type chalcogénures (à base de S, Se, Te) font l’objet d’un intérêt croissant, non seulement pour les applications mémoires avancées, photonique et photovoltaïque, mais également autour des matériaux dichalcogénures innovants à base de métaux de transition (MoS₂, WS₂, ..). Les propriétés de ces matériaux, réalisés sous forme d’alliages binaires ou ternaires, avec ou sans dopage, dépendent fortement de leur composition, du profil de composition dans ces couches très fines, ainsi que des conditions de surface et d’interface (préparation, passivation). La maîtrise des propriétés de ces couches fines, déposées par voie chimique (CVD) ou par co-pulvérisation cathodique magnétron, doit s’appuyer sur des nouveaux protocoles de caractérisation aux incertitudes optimisées et compatibles avec un contrôle de fabrication en ligne. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons les performances de protocoles de métrologie spécifiquement développés pour l’analyse de couches minces de chalcogénures. Ces protocoles, qui s’appuient essentiellement sur les techniques non destructives de spectroscopie de photoélectrons (XPS) et de fluorescence X (
XRF), ont été optimisés pour la caractérisation surfacique des couches ultrafines, l’analyse quantitative de la composition des matériaux complexes à base de tellure ou de soufre, et la mesure du profil de composition dans des couches et empilements < 50 nm. Dans un premier temps, nous présentons l’étude par XPS quasi in situ des propriétés de surface des matériaux Ge, Sb, Te ainsi que de leurs composés binaires et ternaires. Nous mettons en évidence l’évolution de la surface après remise à l’air puis vieillissement, et nous comparons l’efficacité de stratégies d’encapsulation in situ de couches minces à base de Te et Se. Nous démontrons ensuite les performances de protocoles d’analyses par
XRF à dispersion de longueur d’onde (WDXRF) et XPS pour la quantification précise de la composition chimique de composés Ge-Sb-Te (de 1 à 200 nm) et de couches ultrafines de dichalcogénures à base de métaux de transition (MoS₂, WS₂). L’analyse combinée WDXRF/XPS permet de mesurer l’évolution avec la composition des facteurs de sensibilité relative des composantes Ge3d, Te4d et Sb4d, et par conséquent d’améliorer la précision de mesure par XPS de la composition des matériaux à changement de phase de type GexSbyTez. Nous soulignons également l’influence des effets de matrice sur la capacité de la WDXRF à l’analyse quantitative de l’azote dans des matériaux Ge-Sb-Te. Nous évaluons la possibilité d’un étalonnage de la WDXRF fondé sur des analyses par faisceaux d’ions spécifiques, ce qui permet in fine un suivi en ligne de couches GeSbTeN dans une fenêtre procédé donnée. Enfin, nous présentons deux stratégies de caractérisation non destructive du profil de composition dans des couches minces de chalcogénures. D’une part, nous démontrons que la combinaison des techniques de
XRF en géométrie d'incidence rasante (GIXRF) et de réflectométrie X (XRR) permet une mise en évidence non ambiguë de faibles…

▼ The starting point of this project was to bridge the gap between the Departments of Analytical Chemistry and Archaeology. Archaeology has evolved from a more historically and art-historically orientated field of research to a fully emancipated science, comfortably adopting GIS, 3D modelling and chemical analysis to serve its own needs. The rapidly evolving field of
XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and the development of a new generation of lightweight, high-performance handheld
XRF analysers promised new possibilities for in situ elemental determination. The primary aim of this research project was to evaluate the applicability of such a handheld
XRF analyser when used in archaeological contexts and to develop a comprehensible protocol for data-processing.
To fulfil these objectives, the Olympus Innov-X handheld
XRF analyser was obtained and characterised and a work methodology was developed applying established lab protocols used in analytical chemistry. This instrument was then employed in three archaeological case studies where it investigated respectively the provenance of post-medieval Flemish stove-tiles, the origin and distribution of Iron Age red-painted pottery from Mount Kemmel and related sites, and the geochemical composition of archaeological soil features in the Yustyd valley (Russia) during excavations in 2011. The research combined different
XRF techniques, with a central role for handheld
XRF spectrometry in all selected archaeological applications. In addition, the measurements of both µ-
XRF (micro-
XRF) and TXRF (Total Reflection
XRF) were used to act as a point of reference for the handheld measurements, since reference materials for the archaeological materials under focus are not available, and Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize the pigment in the red-painted pottery.
Methodology and characterization of handheld
XRF analysers
The first part of this thesis consists of three chapters which deal with X-ray fluorescence in general and the instrumentation and methodology that were used in this work. These chapters serve as an introduction to and point of reference for the rest of the thesis. Chapter 1 (Introduction) introduces the research and provides a broader context by placing it in the general evolution of
XRF analysis in archaeology and by discussing current issues concerning the validity of handheld
XRF. The chosen research strategy and the aims and objectives of this research are also discussed. Chapter 2 (Methodology) provides an overview of the instrumentation that was used in this research and the sample preparation and data processing techniques that were applied per instrument and project. The methodology is applicable to the three archaeological test cases. Chapter 3 (Evaluation of commercial handheld
XRF: selecting the right tool for archaeological research) describes the evaluation of six commercially available handheld
XRF analysers. The instruments are tested on their performance, stability and ease of use, using a set of standard reference materials and archaeological…

▼ Cette étude a consisté en la comparaison de turquoises CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8.4H2O de diverses mines historiques d'Iran (Perse) à celles d'autres localités régionales afin de trouver potentiellement des caractéristiques discriminantes permettant d'identifier la provenance de bijoux ou d’artefacts à turquoise. Des échantillons de mines de turquoise ont été recueillis auprès de trois sources principales : Neyshapour, Damghan et Kerman et de couleur différente. De plus des bijoux à turquoise du Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (MAD) ont également été analysé. Les spectroscopies vibrationnelles Raman et FTIR permettent toutes deux d'identifier la structure de la turquoise. Bien que FTIR ne montre pas de différences particulières entre les différentes couleurs de turquoise, les analyses Raman des échantillons de turquoise bleu et vert montrent que la largeur de ligne de l'échantillon bleu semble beaucoup plus résolue que celle du vert. Cela indique que le réseau et les modes de vibration OH et H2O sont sensibles aux substitutions induisant un désordre cristallin relatif. La spectroscopie d'absorption révèle que les turquoises avec la meilleure couleur bleue présentent une légère absorption de Fe3+. L'influence des ions cuivre divalents et du fer trivalent sur la couleur de la turquoise est expliquée. Selon les résultats d'absorption optique, Fe2+ n'a aucun effet particulier sur la couleur du turquoise ; la substitution Fe3+/Al change la couleur de la turquoise en une couleur verte. De plus, il a été démontré que les cartes élémentaires de spectroscopie de dégradation induite par micro laser (LIBS) permettent d'identifier rapidement les phases turquoise (Cu, Al et P corrélées) ainsi que celles de pyrite (FeS2) et de silicate. De légères interférences entre P, Al et Fe révèlent la légère substitution de Al par Fe.Des analyses chimiques non destructives réalisées par XRF, ont permis de quantifier les éléments majeurs (Al, P, Cu) et les éléments traces (Fe, Zn, As, Ca, Ti). Des analyses de corrélation et par ACP ont été menées en utilisant des données mesurées ainsi que des données bibliographiques. Les bijoux à turquoise du MAD se superposent aux domaines des turquoises de Neyshapour (Fe/Cu vs Zn/Cu; Zn/Cu vs As/Cu; Zn/Cu vs Ca/Cu). Par contre, les turquoises de Kerman ne correspondent pas, ainsi que les turquoises de Chine. Il est donc possible de suggérer que les turquoises des bijoux du MAD antérieures au 19e siècle étaient des turquoises d'origine persane

▼ The Master’s thesis deals with study printing and optimization of a chemical labels with a code readable by
XRF technique. The study is focusing on the identifiability of components in chemical code through data analysis in the Origin program environment and reproducibility of the analysis. The responses of the
XRF signal on real samples of historical documents were studied and possible interfering elements were identified. Based on these analyses, a recommendation was formulated for the method of evaluating the obtained data, code analysis and also for the composition of the printing formulation.

▼ Iron and manganese oxides are common components in subsurface environments. They influence the groundwater flow, sediment chemistry and contaminant transport. The oxides can form coatings on the surface of sand particles and thereby provide a reactive interface between mineral grains and groundwater. Concentrations of iron and manganese oxides can be very high in sediments. Because of their adsorption capacity, naturally occurring iron- and manganese-bearing phases are known to strongly influence the transfer of inorganic species and ionizable organic compounds.
This project has focused on the spatial distribution and concentration of iron oxides and total iron in the Sterksel Formation. This formation was deposited by the Rhine during the colder intervals in the middle Pleistocene. The studied site is the Maalbeek quarry in Limburg. At this site, the formation consists mostly of coarse sand and pebbles, and has a highly heterogeneous distribution of iron and manganese. This study is aimed to characterize the spatial distribution of iron and manganese within the sediment at this quarry. Three different methods have been used to quantify the concentration of iron and other components. The Citrate- Bicarbonate Dithionite method was used to extract the reactive iron from the sediment. Ingestion with aqua regia was used to extract acid soluble iron, manganese and other metals from the sediment. Measurements with
XRF were done to get a view on the total composition of the sediment. The outer layer of coating of the grains was mainly measured.
In general, enrichment in oxides is in the lower parts of the formation. Manganese oxides are very locally enriched in thin layers and are in a range of 5.42 ppm to 589 ppm manganese. Reactive iron concentrations were measured in the range from 139 to 3000 ppm, and total iron concentrations range from 515 to 515 to 71000 ppm. It is argued that the actual reactive iron concentration should in many cases be higher than measured here. Possible reasons for the low concentrations are shortage of reagents, incomplete dissolution due to crystallinity of oxides and degradation of dithionite. The iron measured by
XRF is in the range of 1335 to 12406 ppm. This is a higher value than the aqua regia measured iron because mainly the coating was measured and not the entire sand grains. An overestimation might occur here because the lighter elements are underestimated relative to the heavier elements. The total iron distribution has a lognormal distribution and the reactive and
XRF-measured iron has a bimodal distribution.
There is a weak correlation between iron and manganese, a reason could be that manganese has a very local enrichment compared to iron. There is a strong iron-titanium correlation, suggesting presence of ilmenite in the sediment. Iron-silicon measured by
XRF has a negative correlation; this could be because the iron oxides form coatings around the grains. The distinguish between reactive and non-reactive iron was estimated with theFe2O3/Al2O3 ratio and by comparing the iron…

▼ This thesis describes the results of an analytical study into µ-
XRF spectroscopy and capabilities of the technique, aimed at applications in geological research. Background, principles and a brief history of
XRF spectrometry are explained, a theoretical account is given of the interaction between X-rays and target material, and the components needed for
XRF application on micro-scale are described.
Tests were performed to explore parameter settings of the instrument that would yield optimum results for various analytical purposes. The results indicate that (1) an amplifier time of 6.4 µs produces optimum peak resolution for qualitative analysis, (2) voltages of 20-30 keV and currents up to 600 µA are most suitable for qualitative analysis, (3) reproducible data can be obtained for quantitative analysis, (4) software provided by the manufacturer and a standardless approach are inadequate for obtaining quantitative results with an accuracy that many geological research questions demand. Tests on international geological reference materials with known compositions showed deviations from accepted values between 0.5 and 22% for major and minor elements.
Using the optimized parameter settings, µ-
XRF analyses were performed on two different types of color-banded Archaean chert. One was supposedly deposited as a chemical precipitate in a marine-hydrothermal environment. Individual, up to several cm thick layers showed clear compositional contrasts. Red and black layers were iron-rich, while white, pink or orange layers contained abundant silicon. Quantitative analyses, carried out with a 2-mm spot size, yielded ca. 60 wt% SiO2 and 30 wt% Fe2O3 for the dark group of layers, and ca. 88 wt% SiO2 and virtually no iron for the pale group. The measurements showed MnO concentrations up to ~0.15 wt% in the red layers and the existence of a clear stratigraphic trend in Fe/Mn ratios of individual layers. Findings support the hypothesis that hydrothermal activity played a major role in the supply of Si, Fe and Mn. Hence, it is inferred that color-banding reflects changes in the vigor of hydrothermal activity.
A second analyzed sample is a color-banded “silicified precursor chert”, which represents a volcaniclastic sediment that became silicified by interaction with silica-saturated seawater. Qualitative µ-
XRF results pointed to the presence of quartz, Fe-bearing sericite and some rutile. In this case, color differences were attributable to subtle mineralogical variations, possibly reflecting original changes in sediment supply.
This thesis includes a recommended work routine as manual for µ-
XRF analysis, meant to serve future users.

▼ During sampling or remediation of radiologically contaminated sites quantitative results are needed to determine where to sample or where to excavate soils. Although some portable gamma spectroscopy equipment does exist for field identification of radionuclides, they are not commonly used during remedial investigations. The current, and very common, process for sampling involves scanning soil with field portable gross measuring radiation detectors (i.e. Sodium Iodide, Scintillation, etc) that measure counts per minute of ionizing radiation; this does not give any information on the nuclides present or their concentrations in the soil. Samples are then collected at biased locations, based on the results of the field detectors, and sent to an on-site or off-site laboratory for analysis (i.e. gamma-spectroscopy, alpha-spectroscopy, etc) to determine what nuclides are in the soil and quantitate their concentration. If an on-site laboratory is not used it may take a few weeks to receive data back from off-site analysis, which inhibits real-time decision making while sampling and adds costs to a project.
One potential method to determine real-time concentrations of metals in soil is through the use of a field portable x-ray fluorescence (
XRF) device. This thesis will examine the relationship between laboratory isotopic thorium and uranium to
XRF results of elemental uranium and thorium which are contaminants of concern found at Formally Utilized Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) sites. The FUSRAP properties were contaminated during the United States early atomic weapons era and are being remediated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as part of a federal remediation program. Both thorium and uranium are radioactive metals that will be investigated to determine if
XRF devices can detect their presence at environmental levels of significance to assist in the investigation and remediation of future FUSRAP projects.
