Lecture description
The transition from conventional to renewable fuels and feedstocks introduces analytical hurdles for XRF. Beyond chemical interferences from high oxygen levels, these streams often present physical challenges, including sediment, particulates, and crystal formations that compromise sample homogeneity. This session examines practical strategies to address these complexities through specialized sample preparation and matrix correction. We explore methods to mitigate both physical heterogeneity and chemical absorption effects across diverse renewable matrices. Attendees will gain technical insights into adapting protocols for non-traditional streams, ensuring analytical precision and reliable data as laboratories navigate the evolving green energy landscape.
