Flow-assisted corrosion, also termed flow-accelerated corrosion or FAC, has long been a common problem for nuclear and fossil fuel power plants in which steel piping and its components are degraded ...

Engineers at Thermo Electron Co., Waltham, Mass. (thermo.com), have built a portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer, the Niton XRF, that can reveal the elemental makeup of an object by analyzing the ...

X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a common investigative technique capable of providing qualitative and quantitative data on the composition of a chemical sample. Analyzers are based on the principle that ...

What is Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy? Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Microscopy is a powerful analytical technique that enables the visualization and quantification of the elemental ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Lomonosov Moscow State University have performed computations and derived new equations, allowing to conduct X-ray fluorescence analysis with higher ...

There are no limits set to the recycling of metals because they can be remelted as scrap infinitely. Of course, metals have to be separated from nonmetallic impurities, and different metals have to be ...

X-Ray Fluorescent (XRF) Spectrometers use a spectroscopic technique, which is commonly used for solids, in which x-rays are used to excite a sample and generate secondary x-rays. As with any ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

A new technique produces X-ray images in colour quickly and efficiently using a specially-structured device called a Fresnel zone plate (FZP). The technique could have applications in nuclear medicine ...
