Photon induced x-ray emission analysis--a complement to analytical methods used in environmental studies
- 1. Brigham Young Univ, Provo, Utah
Description
A report is presented on some results of two projects where PIXE was used in conjunction with titration calorimetry, ion chromatography/mass spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and some other methods. The first is a study of sulfur chemistry in a copper smelter plume. Arsenic was found to be a conservative tracer of the plume and was used for calculation of plume dilution. Calcium was found to be characteristic of the background or ambient aerosol and was used to correct particulate data for the background contribution. 10 refs
