EN 16424:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is dedicated to field portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment (hand-held or portable bench top) and specifies a screening method for the determination of the elemental composition o
36、f waste materials for on-site verification. Portable XRF spectrometers are used for a rapid and exploratory analysis of paste-like or solid materials. The absence or presence of specific elements is displayed qualitatively with an indication of the concentration level. 2 Normative references The fol

39、nch top XRF spectrometers 3.2 hand-held XRF spectrometer XRF spectrometer which can be used for in-situ analysis by direct probing or mounted on a stand 3.3 on-site verification third level of inspection according to the Landfill Directive and the Landfill Decision to ensure that the waste accepted
40、at a landfill is the same as described in the accompanying documents and that it is in accordance with the basic characterization and/or compliance testing 3.4 portable bench top spectrometer compact bench top XRF spectrometer which can easily be carried into the field 3.5 screening application of a
41、ny analytical method for exploratory analysis 4 Principle The sample can be measured directly or after a suitable sample preparation. In principle two different methods are used for probing the sample, either a pistol-like instrument is placed directly on the sample or a sufficient test portion is t
42、aken and put into a sample cup for measurement with the XRF instrument. The presence of a specific element is verified if a significant intensity for that element is measured. The intensities of the lines can be evaluated to indicate the concentration range. BS EN 16424:2014EN 16424:2014 (E) 6 5 Saf
43、ety remarks The X-ray fluorescence spectrometers on the market are generally fully protected apparatus which are subjected to specific official approval and acceptance conditions. This means that the user is not exposed to radiation when operating the apparatus correctly. Nevertheless while measurin
44、g in the field, scattering radiation can be produced when probing directly on the sample. Providing a protective radiation shield around the sample when measuring avoids these risks. The person responsible for managing or supervising the operation of X-ray equipment shall provide evidence of his kno
45、wledge of radiation protection according to national regulations. Proper safety precautions shall be considered when conducting field XRF measurements. The operator should always be aware that X-rays are produced during measurements. The operator should never point the open source at anyone and be a
46、ware that X-rays can penetrate through light atomic mass matrices. Proper training regarding handling of XRF instruments is an obligation. Take care when handling samples that may contain sharps or are of a dusty nature. Handling of samples should be performed with gloves and in the case of dusty ma
47、terials with respiratory mask and gloves. Take special precautions with samples from potentially hazardous waste. Avoid any contact with the skin and/or inhaling of dust. 6 Apparatus and equipment 6.1 X-ray fluorescence spectrometer The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer shall comply with European and
48、national regulations relevant to radiation protection. The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer shall be able to analyse the relevant elements. The following types of X-ray fluorescence spectrometers are applicable: energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF) which gains the dispersion of t
49、he emitted X-ray fluorescence radiation by an energy dispersive detector; wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WDXRF) which gains the dispersion of the emitted X-ray fluorescence radiation by diffraction by a crystal. For screening analysis generally EDXRF instruments are applied. Portable spectrometers comprise mainly the following components: a primary X-ray source, a miniaturised X-ray tube with a low voltage generator; a detector unit including electronic equipment; a power supply including rechargeable batteries; a radiat
