There are two main types of XRF instruments: Energy Dispersive XRF spectrometers (ED-XRF) and Wavelength Dispersive XRF spectrometers (WD-XRF).
Energy Dispersive XRF spectrometers (ED-XRF) are characterized by their simplicity and ease of use. They can simultaneously collect signals from several elements, offering a resolution range from 150 eV to 600 eV. This type of instrument is suitable for applications where simultaneous analysis of multiple elements is required, and where a moderate resolution is sufficient.
Wavelength Dispersive XRF spectrometers (WD-XRF), on the other hand, collect one signal at a time at different angles using a goniometer. These instruments are typically more complex and expensive compared to ED-XRF, but they offer a significantly higher resolution, ranging from 5 eV to 20 eV. The higher resolution makes WD-XRF suitable for applications requiring precise elemental analysis, especially where the detection of minor elements or isotopes is critical.
Both types of XRF instruments are widely used in various industries including cement, metal ores, mineral ores, oil & gas, environmental, and geological applications, among others. The choice between ED-XRF and WD-XRF depends on the specific analytical requirements, budget, and the level of precision needed for the analysis.
