Abstract
In this study, new analytical procedures: microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometry and wavelength dispersive—X-ray fluorescence for the determination of major elements in ash generated by combustion of solid biofuels such as wood chips and straw were developed and validated. The study also describes the establishment of results’ traceability and comparison of developed methods. The aim of this study was to test reliability of measurement results for total major element content in ash by means of non-destructive X-ray fluorescence method that can be used directly on site. The study was entirely performed within the implementation of the EMPIR 19ENG09 BIOFMET New metrological methods for biofuel materials analysis project.
期刊介绍:
Accreditation and Quality Assurance has established itself as the leading information and discussion forum for all aspects relevant to quality, transparency and reliability of measurement results in chemical and biological sciences. The journal serves the information needs of researchers, practitioners and decision makers dealing with quality assurance and quality management, including the development and application of metrological principles and concepts such as traceability or measurement uncertainty in the following fields: environment, nutrition, consumer protection, geology, metallurgy, pharmacy, forensics, clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, and microbiology.
