X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYZER, AND A METHOD FOR PERFORMING X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS

An X-ray fluorescence analyzer is disclosed comprising an X-ray tube (402) for emitting incident X-rays (206) in the direction of a first optical axis (204). A slurry handling unit (201) is configured to maintain a constant distance between a sample (202) of slurry and said X-ray tube. A first cryst...

Zusammenfassung:An X-ray fluorescence analyzer is disclosed comprising an X-ray tube (402) for emitting incident X-rays (206) in the direction of a first optical axis (204). A slurry handling unit (201) is configured to maintain a constant distance between a sample (202) of slurry and said X-ray tube. A first crystal diffractor (601) extends in a first direction from said slurry handling unit (201), and is configured to separate a predefined first wavelength range from fluorescent X-rays (207) and direct the fluorescent X rays to a first radiation detector (602, 1505). The first crystal diffractor (601) comprises a pyrolytic graphite crystal (603, 802, 804) that has a diffractive surface (801, 803, 805), which is a simply connected surface. Said first radiation detector (602) is a solid-state semiconductor detector. (FIG. 8) 303__ --- 40650 Fig. 4 FFig.6
