  • In this study, clay sampled from Yangsan$.$Mulkum site were used to analyze mineral properties. Mineral and chemical properties of clay were investigated through X-ray fluorescence spectrometer(XRF), X-Ray Diffraction(XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) analysis. The result of this test represents that Yangsan$.$Mulkum clay are composed of quartz, albite, anorthite, orthocalse and illite.

  • Purpose: X ray irradiates material for dose distribution confirmation through material color variation to evaluate about possibility. Materials and Methods: That is rare earth material to pure KCl and KCl impurity Eu adding 0.5mol% by Czochralski method each single crystal grow and observed color variation of KCl X ray irradiation use of linear accelerator. Results: High energy X ray irradiation KCl:Eu show the blue fluorescence with purple color that pure KCl single crystal can confirm by show was not observed, but was colored violet. Conclusion: Colors variation of KCl founds stable color center from radiation and this color variation will be used usefully to X ray measurement material and phantom.

  • Utilyzing the solution prepared for the sulfur determination, the amounts of iron, copper and cobalt in the sulfide ore were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The samples were dissolved with the mixed solutions of ,$Br_2\;and\;HNO_3$ and a major constituent of $SiO_2$was repelled from the solution by HF treatment several times. The analytical results agreed with the data obtained by conventional methods within ${\pm}$1.5% for Fe of the range of 20 to 50%, ${\pm}$1.0% for Cu of 10 to 15%, and ${\pm}$0.4% for Co of 1 to 5%. The present method was tolerably found to be reproducible.

  • X-ray fluorescence sprectrum signal include the continuum. XRF analysis the components of material by the amplitude of peaks. XRF remove the noise and background. To remove the noise, we apply the smoothing filter. And background removal methods applied such as SNIP, Morphology, Threshold methods. In this paper, we applied Threshold using DWT. Interval threshold method divide the some blocks in particular levels. We propose the method that is divided the particular level.

  • The shielding characteristics of two concrete blocks, widely used in the building industry in Mexico have been determined. These characteristics include the mass interaction coefficients, the linear attenuation coefficients and the half-value layers. The energy-dispersed X-ray fluorescence shows that the percentage mass content of each atom in the sample, and the atomic volume of the constituent elements of a material, plays an important role in its shielding capabilities. The total linear attenuation coefficients and the half-value layers were analyzed for a set of photon energies related to X-rays for diagnosis and cancer treatment with linear accelerators. Our results show that the concrete blocks have similar photon attenuation coefficients than the Portland concrete and better features than gypsum.

  • Wine consumers desire to drink a high quality wine. For producing high quality wine, high quality soil is required. Conventionally, soil quality is assessed qualitatively. Using traditional laboratory methods, quantitative data can be obtained for management purpose, but it is time consuming and expensive. Therefore, new technology aims to address these limitations, namely portable X-Ray fluorescence spectrometers (pXRF). This instrument can be used directly in the field, requires no soil sample preparations, and can simultaneously measure a wide range of elements qualitatively that are useful for pedological studies. The chemical composition (Ca, Fe, Ti and Zr) of soils at Tallavera Grove vineyard in New South Wales, Australia, was studied using a pXRF. The analysis of the soil's elemental concentration (i.e. Ca and Fe) using pXRF supports management decisions. Measuring the soil's Ca concentration can be used to identify Ca-rich parent materials (limestone). The limestone indicates good soil conditions for vine production. Fe content was used to identify areas of texture-contrast soils or soil with accumulation of clays in the B horizon. In addition, a soil weathering index was calculated using elemental concentrations (i.e. Ti and Zr) to explore the history of soil formation for making decision of management. This index showed that the soil in the vineyard was affected by two processes: the deposition of materials from elsewhere (Aeolian transport or soil erosion) and mixing of materials from upslope.
