restricted

Other constraints

The dataset has been formally approved by BGS for access by external clients under a BGS Digital Data Licence, issued via BGS's IPR Section. The dataset must not be provided to, or be accessible by, an external client until the IPR Section confirms that signed licence documentation is in place. Refer to the IPR Section (DigitalLE@bgs.ac.) if further advice is required.. Constraint applies until 2023-12-31

Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section ( ipr@bgs.ac.uk) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

A Spectro X-lab 2000 [XL], a Spectroscout [SS] and a SpectroXepos [Xp] XRF were used. Samples were analysed: XL - 900 seconds [s] (Compton/secondary Mo target, 40 kV, 150s measurement time; Barkla scatter, Al oxide target, 50 kV, 250s; Barkla scatter, B carbide, 44 kV, 250s; Co secondary target, 35 kV, 200s; Barkla scatter, highly ordered pyrolytic graphite target, 15 kV, 50s); Xp - 1750s (400s Mo Ta filter 1, 45kV; 800s Mo Ta filter 2, 60kV; 400s Pd filter, 22.5kV; 150s no filter, 22.5kV); SS - 700s (500s Cu Rh filter, 50kV; 150s Mo filter, 35kV; 50s no filter, 11kV). As part of QC procedures, SRMs were run with each sample batch to monitor instrument performance and a sub-set of samples (pressed pellets, and powders where samples were too small to form pressed pellets) were analysed in duplicate or triplicate; the data reported are the resultant mean data for each analysed sample.
