Abstract: | An analytical exercise between two laboratories was performed in order to compare the elemental composition of a water sample.
The metal concentration of Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the water sample was analyzed by Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence
and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The analysis by Total Reflection X-Ray Spectrometry was realized by an Ital Structures
TX-2000 and the analysis by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry was made by a Perkin Elmer Spectrophotometer Model 3110. Results
show a good agreement in the metal concentrations obtained by both techniques. The variation coefficient between the results
with both techniques was less than 14%. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that both techniques are reliable and adequate
for the determination of these elements in environmental water samples. |
