X-ray fluorescence analysis by fusion bead method for ores and rocks

The fusion bead method is an effective sample preparation technique for accurate XRF analysis results of ores, rocks and refractory materials since the technique eliminates heterogeneity due to grain size and mineralogical effect.

This report describes various data processing methods to obtain more accurate analysis results showing practical examples of analysis obtained by using a wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WDXRF), ZSX Primus II, and its data processing system.
