Abstract

<p>In this study, total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectra of dry residues of 10 μL, 100 µL, 200 µL, and 400 μL droplets of a solution containing 10 μg L−1 of Cr on hydrophobic film coated sample holders were measured by a portable TXRF spectrometer, and these spectra were compared. The net intensity of the Cr Kα peak per the concentration of Cr in the sample solution (counts / μg L−1) increased with an increase in the volume of a droplet of the sample solution. This was because the mass of Cr in the dry residue increased with an increase in the volume of a droplet of the sample solution. This enhancement in the net intensity of the Cr Kα peak per the concentration of Cr led to a significant improvement in the detection limit expressed as the concentration of Cr. Detection limits for Cr obtained from the measurements of the dry residues of 10 μL, 100 µL, 200 µL, and 400 μL droplets of the sample solution were 2.1 μg L−1, 0.30 μg L−1, 0.13 μg L−1, and 0.09 μg L−1, respectively. Measuring the dry residue of a large volume droplet of a water sample would be useful for the analysis of trace elements in the sample.</p>
