Abstract

The present paper presents the results obtained by the application of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (ED-XRF) for the determination of the elemental composition of various waste industrial materials. The technique was optimized for the analysis of several industrial hazardous wastes with a high content of heavy metals and sludge samples resulted from galvanizing processes, produced by a company which manufactures electrical and home appliances.
