8 FIT OF XRF IN THE SCIENCES Although XRF is a physical phenomena involving the interaction of X-rays with matter, the applications of XRF are in areas predominantly outside of physics (geology, anthropology, environmental sciences, etc.) Although XRF, like any other spectroscopic technique, requires specialized knowledge in chemistry (spectral interpretation, calibration, sample prep, etc.), it is not even mentioned in 99% of undergraduate chemistry programs in the U.S. With continuing advances in technology and ever growing number of XRF applications, it is critically important to bring more attention to XRF and related techniques within the U.S. academic system SF State University is one of only a very few universities to integrate XRF into its undergraduate chemistry curriculum Quantitative Chemical Analysis (lecture and lab) Instrumental Analysis (lecture and lab) Independent research projects 8
9 ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM 9
10 ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY FUNDAMENTALS Atomic Absorption Light of specific wavelength from Hollow Cathode Lamp promotes electron to higher energy level (excitation) Atomic Emission Heat energy from high intensity source (flame or plasma) promotes electron to higher energy level (excitation) Excited State Ground State Δ Selectivity based on use of element-specific light source (Hollow Cathode Lamp) Light absorption is proportional to concentration: A = -log(p/p 0 ) = εbc Selectivity based on emission of light at characteristic λ for element Light emission is proportional to elemental concentration: I = kc Mass Spectrometry Heat energy from high intensity source (plasma) separates electron from atom (ionization) Δ - - Selectivity based on use of measurement of characteristic mass of elemental ion Ion intensity is proportional to elemental concentration: I = kc X-Ray Fluorescence Energy from X-Rays (high energy) separates electron from atom (ionization), then inner shell electron fills vacant hole by emitting light Selectivity based on use of emission of light at characteristic λ for element (X-Ray) Light intensity is proportional to elemental concentration: I = kc
11 XRF PHYSICAL PROCESS 1. When an X-ray photon of sufficient energy strikes an atom, it dislodges an electron from one of its inner orbitals (recall that X-rays are ionizing radiation) 2. To regain stability, the atom fills the vacancy with an electron from an outer orbital 3. As electron drops to lower energy state, excess energy is released as an X-ray Step 2: Step 1: Step 3: 11
12 XRF PHYSICAL PROCESS Pb N 4s 2 p 3 d 10 f 14 Pb M >16 kev L L β kev 3s 2 p 3 d 10 L α kev 2s 2 p 6 K 1s 2 Quantum states for each element are different, and hence the characteristic energy of X-ray fluorescence can be correlated to a specific element(s) The XRF spectrum of an element is independent of its chemical form (recall that we re removing inner shell electrons, not bonding electrons)
13 SIMPLE XRF SPECTRUM ~10% Pb in imported tableware Pb L α line kev Pb L β line kev Intensity (cps) Energy (kev) Presence of Pb confirmed through observation of two peaks centered at energies close to their tabulated (reference) line energies 13
14 XRF SPECTRA Consecutive elements in periodic table Zn Ga Ge As Se Intensity (cps) Energy (kev) 14 Energy (kev) proportional to atomic number Z 2 (Moseley s law)
15 BOX DIAGRAM OF XRF INSTRUMENT X-ray Source Detector Digital Pulse Processor XRF Spectrum (cps vs kev) software Results (elements and conc s) Sample X-ray source X-ray tube (range of energies) Detector and digital pulse processor Energy-dispersive (no monochromator required) Peltier-cooled solid state detector (Li-doped Si or newer Si drift detector) This is a multi-channel analyzer that measures the energy of photon in kev - related to type of element emission rate in counts-per-second (cps) related to concentration of element Analyzer software converts spectral data to direct readout of results Concentration of an element determined from factory calibration data, sample thickness as estimated from source backscatter, and other parameters While this software is powerful, it can still yield false positives, false negatives, and erroneous concentration data 15

17 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Scenario/situation exposure units Exposures from background radiation sources Chest X-ray 100 mrem/x-ray Grand Central Station 120 mrem/year Airline worker 1000 mrem/year Exposure limits set by regulatory agencies Max Permissible Limit during pregnancy 500 mrem/9 months Max Permissible Limit for entire body 5000 mrem/year Max Permissible Limit for an extremity (i.e., finger) 50,000 mrem Exposures from normal operation of XRF analyzer in sampling stand Left/right/behind analyzer << 0.1 mrem/hour Exposures from unacceptable use of XRF analyzer outside sampling stand 4 feet directly in front of analyzer window 14 mrem/hour 1 foot in front of analyzer window 186 mrem/hour Directly in front of analyzer window 20,000 mrem/hour Any device which generates X-rays must be operated in a manner which ensures that human exposure to these X-rays is as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) When the XRF analyzer is used properly (using sampling stand), radiation exposure will be non-detectable 17
18 QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS Issues to consider WHAT ELEMENTS do we want to look for (toxic elements such as As, Cd, Hg, Pb, and Se, nutrient elements such as Fe, etc.)? Define the problem what are element(s) of interest Are there any SPECTRAL OVERLAPS with other elements in sample? Determine potential overlapping species (i.e., Pb and As) If we detect a toxic element, do we know for certain that it is in the product and NOT in the background materials used to hold the sample or the product packaging? Measure what you want to measure How do we know that the analyzer is not generating an ERRONEOUS identification (false positives or false negatives)? Users must evaluate the spectrum to verify the reported results positive identification of an element requires observation of two peaks at energies close to their tabulated values 18
19 5 SPECTRAL OVERLAPS Basket Sample ppm Hg and As standard 3 Zn K α As K α Overlapping lines As K β and Hg L β Intensity (cps) 2 Hg L α Pb L α Br K α Pb L β 1 Zn K β Br K β Energy (kev) 19 Neither Hg nor As is present in this basket sample
20 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS Issues to consider Are the element concentrations within detection range of XRF (% to ppm)? Define the problem research sample composition or take a measurement Can the samples be analyzed as is or is some sample prep required? Define the problem is sample homogeneous, can sample be ground up, what sort of accuracy and precision are required What is the most appropriate calibration model to use? Fundamental Parameters (used for metallic samples) Compton Normalization (used for soil samples) Thin Film mode (used for filter samples) Empirical Calibration (are appropriate standards available?) Standard Additions (used to correct for matrix effects) 20
21 CALIBRATION CURVES As, Hg, and Pb in cellulose Intensity (cps) As Hg Pb As y = x R 2 = Pb y = x R 2 = Hg y = 0.345x R 2 = Concentration (ppm) Linear cal curves indicate acceptable method for preparation of authentic standards (dispersing metal salt into cellulose using powder or cryogenic mill) LODs in single ppm range (surprisingly just as sensitive as lab-grade XRF instrument) 21
22 Audience Poll Please use your mouse to answer the question to the right of your screen: What are the barriers to teaching XRF in your curriculum? (Check all that apply.) Expertise or knowledge of technique Availability of teaching materials (lecture notes, lab experiments) Access to an XRF instrument (lack of funding, cost of equipment) Effort involved in changing the curriculum Safety concerns Other 22

27 XRF EXPERIMENTS IN QUANT Determination of Ca in powdered milk Sample contained 1% Ca Students often failed to correctly prepare several standards of CaCO 3 in cellulose or use actual concentrations in their cal curves (teaching moment) Use of external standards (CaCO 3 in cellulose) gave erroneously low results due to attenuation of Ca fluorescence by K in milk Use of standard additions (CaCO 3 in powdered milk) corrected for this matrix effect (<1% error) Peak Area Ca in Milk via Standard Additions y = x R 2 = % Ca Compared to classical EDTA titration method, XRF simpler, faster, gives [Ca] 27

32 FINAL THOUGHTS ON ACADEMIC USE OF HANDHELD XRF ANALYZERS What can we do to further this discipline? Promote inclusion of XRF into analytical chemistry textbooks Promote integration of XRF into undergraduate lecture and lab classes (quant analysis, instrumental analysis, environmental chem, material science, special topics course on X-ray techniques) FAST measurement times suitable for large lab sections INEXPENSIVE handheld instrument, can be rented or purchased COMPLEMENT/REPLACE classical gravimetric and titrimetric experiments ENGAGE students with state of the art instrument and relevant applications Provides many opportunities to TEACH relevant analytical chemistry topics (sample homogeneity, preparing standards, calibration models, instrument optimization, data analysis) Focus students on interpreting and understanding SPECTRA (not list of elements and concentrations) Get students to THINK about the measurement process Develop more active XRF research programs Case studies and field work 32

61 Summary John Patterson 61
62 From Lab to Field Why Teaching XRF Matters Conclusion: XRF is an excellent technique for teaching atomic spectroscopy and analytical techniques XRF provides an opportunity to engage the student and teach scientific reasoning XRF is suitable for use in almost any location so take the analysis to the samples rather than the reverse XRF is an important job skill industry is always looking for trained operators; this will expand the resume of a recent graduate 62
63 Advantages of XRF for Teaching XRF can be completely nondestructive leading to use of very interesting and unusual samples There is little or no sample prep No dangerous chemicals to dispose of (acids) No expensive Argon or explosive gasses needed/no LN Low operating costs Direct analysis of solids, liquids and inert gasses (TRACER only) Multiple techniques to select from based on applications / funding PXRF/HH-XRF EDX TXRF WDXRF 63
