Abstract |
|
|
| Nuclear analytical technique, PIXE with a wide range of applicability to almost all matrix types and their exceptional sensitivity, accurate too many elements are an indispensable tool for geological research. It has been an argument that some of the elements present in geological material by using PIXE analysis are purely determined or could not be determined at all, due to various reasons including the matrix. To obtain data for geological materials, usually this technique provides good results within reasonable concentrations of elements present at media Z in the charnockite matrix materials. But the detection, accuracy and the limit of detection of the REEs present in matrix composition of charnockite data using PIXE depends, however, strongly on the type of material analyzed and on the content of several interfering elements present in the matrix composition which provide either a high background or overall activity and therefore, may prohibit reliable analysis. For these complementary nuclear analytical techniques, such as PIGE, INAA, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and also many cases nuclear techniques might not be available or might not be sufficiently sensitive, other non-nuclear techniques, such as (AAS), or (ICP-MS) which are generally considered as reference methods for many analytical problems in the PIXE at 3 MeV methodologies in charnockite analysis, are useful as well. Finally, the purpose of this review is to about rare earth elements present in complex matrix composition like charnockite analysis by PIXE. |
