Abstract
Particle induced x-ray emission (PIXE) technique is well suited for analysis of environmental samples due to its multielemental capability (Na to U) and uniform sensitivity. The high absolute sensitivity of PIXE, makes it possible to perform analysis of very small size samples. Proton beams of 2-4 MeV obtained from the low energy tandem pelletron accelerator at Institute of Physics are being used for the trace element analysis of environmental samples like water, soil and fly ash. Experimental facility and sample preparation laboratory have been established for PIXE analysis of environmental samples. Very low detection limits have been obtained for trace element analysis of natural waters by PIXE method in combination with preconcentration technique. Sample collection, preparation, irradiation, experimental setup and spectrum evaluation are discussed. (author). 8 refs., 3 figs.
