  • 1. Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., Troy, NY (USA). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

A series of dolomite bore hole samples were analyzed for their iron content using radioisotope x-ray fluorescence. A precision of +-0.1%, as specified for oil and gas exploration was met using a nondestructive sample preparation technique, energy dispersive detector, sup(109)Cd source and a micro-computer based data acquisition and reduction system. Sample and standard preparation procedures are discussed. (author)
