Determination of the chemical composition of a brass sample by X-ray fluorescence method
Tomanová, Michaela ; Čudek, Pavel (referee) ; Vaněk, Jiří (advisor)
The fluorescence spectroscopy method is used to distinguish components in gas, liquid, or solid samples. The study is based on the parameters of secondary radiation, which is emitted by each element and allows them to be identified. The distinction between each radiation is analogous to a fingerprint. Apart from quantitative and qualitative analyses, the method can be used to determine the thickness of metal layers and alloys. Laboratory analysis has a broader range of application than portable devices, which are also available. In the laboratory, two methods of measurement are available: wavelength dispersive fluorescence spectroscopy – WDXRF and energo dispersive fluorescence spectroscopy – EDXRF. A brass sample with lead additive was analyzed using EDXRF in the practical part of this diploma thesis. An X-ray apparatus from the Leybold company was employed for the analysis, which will be used for education of lower grades at the university. A measurement station and a laboratory assignment were developed as part of the thesis, the aim of which will be to determine the chemical composition of a brass sample using the X-ray fluorescence method.
