Determination of Cobalt in Fertilizer by Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently determination of harmful elements in fertilizer has been paid growing attention. The determination method of cobalt in fertilizer by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WD-XRF) is developed. The calibration samples are made of blank compound fertilizer to simulate the matrix. The sample covered with microcrystalline cellulose is pressed at 35t for 60s, and cobalt content is determined by WD-XRF. This method has a good repeatability and accuracy with the linearity in the ranges of 0-2000mg/kg. The relative standard deviation is not more than 2.0%. The results obtained from WD-XRF and ICP-AES showed an acceptable agreement. 43 fertilizer samples are collected from 18 countries and determined. The cobalt contents are all not more than 13mg/kg.
