Employment of X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis in Process Analytics

Elemental analysis directly at the material stream of production processes using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is gathering importance. Thanks to technical developments, X-ray fluorescence analysis can be used as information source in the elemental analysis of material in industrial processes without tedious sample preparation steps. The employment of online X-ray fluorescence analysis pays off both in financial as well in time aspects, since it can be used for the economic application of raw materials or e. g. for recycling. This paper describes four different applications of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
