Quantitative X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Multielemental Subjects of Complex Shape without Implementation of Reference Standards

A theoretical dependence of the ratio of intensities of X-ray fluorescence lines of chemical elements on the ratio of their concentration in a sample is suggested. The effect of various experimental factors on parameters of the obtained model is considered. A method of quantitative X-ray fluorescence analysis of multielemental subjects using the suggested calibration dependence without the implementation of reference standards is described. The adequacy and analytical advantages of the developed approach are demonstrated for the determination of the elemental composition of a sample of a metal alloy of complex shape.
