Abstract
The backscatter fundamental parameter (BFP) algorithm was adapted and modified for the use with a portable energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer system. The method utilizes coherently and incoherently scattered peaks of primary radiation to estimate the 'dark matrix' of the analysed sample. A so-called 'full fundamental parameter' model was implemented in the algorithm, allowing a simple calibration of the method using only one standard sample. To improve the accuracy of the method, the differential mass scattering cross-sections were used. The algorithm also takes into account the secondary excitation effects. The method was applied to element determinations in various matrices with minimum sample preparation. It was tested in the laboratory with homogeneous samples prepared from standard reference materials and was also successfully applied to in situ element determinations in soil. The analyses were performed using a portable XRF spectrometer equipped with a Cd-109 radioisotope source and an Si-PIN photodiode detector. The BFP algorithm was found to perform well for the analysis of loose powder samples containing an unknown fraction of 'dark matrix,' and therefore it is regarded as suitable for in situ element determinations.
