Abstract
Energy dispersive X-ray +uorescence spectrometry was applied to the elemental analysis of ˙Ikizdere ore.
The standard addition method used for analyses of Ikizdere ore is based on a model expressing the relationship
between the concentration and characteristic intensity. The experimental set-up consists of a Si(Li) detector,
multichannel analyser, 241Am and 55Fe radioactive source. Si(Li) detector has a 25 m Be-window and energy
resolution of about 160 eV at 5:9 keV. The procedure of sample preparation and the results of analysis were
presented. ? 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
