Zusammenfassung
Ein Verfahren zur raschen und einfachen Analyse der Metallspuren wird vorgeschlagen. Zur Sammlung der Schwebstoffe werden als optimal Nuclepore-Membranen (Porengröße 0,4 μm) empfohlen. Dabei wird eine ausreichend homogene Filterbeladung erhalten (s% < 2,5). Mit befriedigender Reproduzierbarkeit (s% < 5,6) und Richtigkeit wurden folgende Elemente bestimmt: K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Pb, Rb und Sr.
Summary
The capability of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence was investigated for fast and simple chemical analysis of trace elements in sediments and particulate matter in sea water. Nuclepore 0.4 μm pore-size membranes are recommended as optimal filters for a straightforward collection of suspended material. The collection of suspended trace metals by filtration seemed to give a sufficiently homogeneous filter load (s% <2.5). Data are presented on the concentrations of K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Pb, Rb and Sr with a fair precision (s% < 5.6) and accuracy.
