Application of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy in Analysis of Heavy Metals in Soil: A Review by Aosong JIANG, Longhua WU, Zhu LI

“…However, the complexity of the soil matrix and the limitations of the instrument itself will lead to problems such as low accuracy and precision in the determination of target heavy metals by ED-XRF, such as the type and particle size of soil samples and the noise in the instrument and the environment; there are also certain difficulties in the establishment of quantitative analysis model methods, which are still not well applied to laboratories and other environments with high data quality requirements. In this paper, we summarize the application and research progress of XRF in the field of soil heavy metal detection, explore and analyze the influence of different soil sample states and detection conditions on the detection accuracy of ED-XRF instruments, sort out the main pretreatment methods of ED-XRF spectroscopy and the establishment process of quantitative analysis models, and introduce and analyze the application potential of ED-XRF in evaluating the effectiveness of soil heavy metals. …”
