Abstract

A novel windowless sample preparation method is described which allows for X-ray fluorescence analysis of light elements (Z = 13 to 20) in coal or oil-tar pitches, asphalts and other bituminous compounds. The article also discusses blending and spiking of pitches with suitable organometallic compounds in order to prepare a range of trace-element calibration standards. The general instrumental conditions, recommended peak counting times and detection limits are also discussed.
