Determination of Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Pb in particulate matter, raw and final materials of a brick factory by radionuclide X-ray fluorescence analysis

Abstract

Radionuclide X-ray fluorescence method with a Si/Li semiconductor detector and238Pn exciting source was used in the study of Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Pb content of solid emissions, raw and final materials of a brick factory. From the point of view of metal content, the working environment of the brick factory is safe for workers.
