The analysis of titanium dioxide pigments by automatic simultaneous X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Abstract

The use of an automatic fourteen-channel simultaneous X-ray spectrometer for the analysis of titanium dioxide pigments is described. The selection of channel parameters for the determination of calcium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, tin, iron, sulphur, chlorine, potassium, zinc, zirconium, niobium, antimony and lead is discussed, and statistical data are given on the accuracy of the determination of these elements.
