Qualitative Elemental Analysis of Minerals Based on Energy Dispersive X - ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

The research of miniaturized XRF/XRD analyzers are carried out in this paper, especially the qualitative analysis based on EDXRF, a miniaturized energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry platform is designed and a qualitative elemental analysis software based on Android operating system is developed. The elemental qualitative analysis software can preprocess the X-ray feature spectrum by background eliminationsmoothing and energy coefficient calibration, after these pretreatments, the main elements of the sample can be analyzed. The experimental results show that the qualitative elemental analysis platform proposed in this paper can measure the elements of Al to Au in the periodic table, besides, the detection accuracy of multiple samples is higher than 97%. The mineral qualitative elemental analysis software proposed in this paper can be applied to any portable analysis platform based on Android operating system, moreover, it will spur advances in the development of the miniaturization and intelligent X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.
