CSN EN ISO 18227

CSN EN ISO 18227 This document specifies the procedure for a quantitative determination of major and trace element concentrations in homogeneous solid waste, soil, soil-like material and sludge by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry or wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry using a calibration with matrix-matched standards. This document is applicable for the following elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, I, Cs, Ba, Ta, W, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th and U. Concentration levels between a mass fraction of approximately 0,000 1 % and 100 % can be determined depending on the element and the instrument used. An optional XRF screening method for solid and liquid material as waste, sludge and soil is added in Annex A which provides a total element characterization at a semi-quantitative level, where the calibration is based on matrix-independent calibration curves, previously set up by the manufacturer.
