摘要: X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core-scanning is a fast and nondestructive technique to assess elemental variations of unprocessed sediments. However, although the exposure time XRF-scanning directly affects scanning counts total measurement time, only few studies have considered influence during scan. How select an optimal achieve reliable results reduce important issue. To address this question, six geological reference materials from Geological Survey Japan (JLK-1, JMS-1, JMS-2, JSD-1, JSD-2, JSD-3) were scanned by Itrax-XRF core scanner using Mo- Cr-tube with different times allow comparison absolute concentrations. The regression lines correlation coefficients elements that are generally used in paleoenvironmental examined for tubes. show those relatively high concentrations or detectability, higher than 0.90 all times. In contrast, low detectability concentration elements, low, improve little increased time. Therefore, we suggest insignificant accuracy measurements. Thus, caution must be taken when interpreting even long reasonably high.
