Recycling Applications
With the increasing focus on sustainability and environmental consciousness, recycling has become more important than ever. EDXRF addresses various recycling applications, offering rapid qualitative and quantitative elemental analyses. Whether you are recovering metals from recycled automotive catalysts or black mass powder or screening waste oil and RDF for hazardous elements, EDXRF provides a cost-effective and versatile solution for recycling and repurposing processes.
Our EDXRF analyzers can help you ensure compliance with regulations, as well as provide testing and monitoring for various waste and processing streams. They also help optimize the recovery of valuable materials and meet other screening requirements. Discover how our technology can streamline your processes and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Why choose EDXRF?
Benchtop solutions for recycling and recovery applications
We offer a comprehensive range of budget-friendly benchtops, whether your needs are for basic screening or more advanced applications. All systems provide elemental composition data in minutes and do not need ongoing allocations for expensive consumables and maintenance. Here are some advantages that our systems provide:
- Rapid, non-destructive elemental analysis, beneficial in fast-paced production settings
- Multi-element capabilities, from ultra-low concentrations to percent levels
- Measurement of all elements from sodium (Na) to uranium (U)
- Multi-application versatility, including plastics, metals, oils, electronic waste, etc.
- Easy sample preparation and no complex setups
- Simple, easy operation, even for non-technical personnel
- Low cost of ownership, self-installed and maintained
Advanced Fundamental Parameters software
Advanced qualitative and quantitative analysis is powered by our RPF-SQX FP software, featuring Rigaku Profile Fitting (RPF) technology and Scattering FP. This software allows semi-quantitative analysis of almost all sample types without standards and rigorous quantitative analysis with standards. Scattering FP automatically estimates the concentration of unmeasurable low atomic number elements (hydrogen to fluorine) and provides appropriate corrections.
Given at least one sample with known concentrations from a referee technique, the software allows you to quickly and easily create a Matching Library. This feature changes the analysis from semi-quant to fully quantitative, tuning your XRF to your specific analysis needs.
Calibration standards can be expensive and difficult to obtain for newly developed materials. With RPF-SQX, the number of required standards is greatly reduced. This option significantly lowers the cost of ownership and reduces your workload requirements.
