USING THE X-RAY SPECTRAL INSTALLATION FOR DETERMINING THE COMPOSITION OF A SUBSTANCE

X-ray spectral analysis of the elemental composition of a substance is based on the excitation of the characteristic X-ray radiation of chemical elements, the release of this radiation and the measurement of its intensity. The characteristic radiation spectrum is individual for each element, and its intensity is a function of the concentration of the element. To determine the composition of a substance, X-ray spectral installations are used to analyze and determine the composition of a substance. The quality of determining the percentage composition of the test substance depends on the elements used in this installation. This article discusses the operation of the X-ray spectral installation and its main components.
