Description

The principal goal of the present study is to evaluate intensity ratios of Pb and As by X-ray analysis. Lead and arsenic overlap and these ratios are important for toxic element analysis. Measurements of Pb-As mixtures were performed using a JEOL JSM-5610LVS scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX) at 18-30 kV electron voltage and a silicon drift detector (SDD). From overlapped X-ray intensity at 10.5 keV, intensities of As Kα and Pb Lα in mixture were estimated by ratios of Pb Lα/Lβ and As Kα/Kβ in pure elements, and correlation between X-ray intensity and excitation voltage was evaluated. Calculated value was compared with measured intensity. (author)
