Rapid Analysis of Metal-laden Water via Portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry.

Water salinity is vital to environmental quality assurance, environmental health, and human health. Soil and water salinity are naturally linked on slurries or saturated pastes whereby salts precipitated in soil dissolve into solution. Currently, this type of salinity analysis is conducted by using electrical conductance. Salts in soil and water are...

Synthesis of portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometry and visible near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy for soil chemical characterization

Traditionally, time-consuming lab-centered routines that are based on raster sampling and wet chemical analysis are utilized for a comprehensive physicochemical soil analysis. However, these methods are time consuming and highly expensive and, thus, not practical nor convenient for the mapping of soil properties over large areas. The disclosed technology...
