Factores interelementales para análisis geoquímico por fluorescencia de rayos X

Abstract

The interelement correction factors alfa or mass absorption correction factors are computed for 35 elements of geochemical interest affected by 65 interfering elements of equal geochemical interest and abundance. The concept of effective wavelength of the analyzed element and a spectrometer geometrical factor of 1.5 are used. The systematic variation of the alfa factors with the atomic number defines applications and pertinent corrections in analytical geochemistry.
