Determination of Some Elements Concentration in Wad Medani Soil Using XRF

Abstract

In this study thesis, soil samples were taken from Madame the state of AL-Gazeera to detect the concentration of minerals in it. The first sample was taken from the surface and the second from a depth of 20 cm. The samples were first prepared by mixing with wax (3: 1). The mixture then crashed until the mixture became homogenous. The mixture then compressed into a piston and the sample was tested using the XRF tech .wethot The high – concentration elements in the sample were identified by analysis and found to belong to clay minerals (geology) and found high concentration metals such as silicon dioxide - iron oxide (3) - aluminum oxide (2). Some of the elements are very small and are almost non-concentrated and are associated with the existing samples (Cobalt 4 and Chlorine) . No significant concentration of minerals has been obtained and therefore can be classified as agricultural, residential or otherwise.
