Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Natural and Drinking Waters

Resumo

A review of works of researchers of the Division of Analytical Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry of Moscow State University over the last 5 years in the total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis of natural and drinking waters is presented. The advantages of the proposed methodological approaches to the sorption and extraction X-ray fluorescence determination of metal ions in waters are described. Various methods of the improvement of the performance characteristics of the results of analysis are discussed and compared (first of all, sensitivity of determination).
