A metal-preconcentration procedure, which consists of a combination of chelation by
dibenzyldithiocarbamate ions with subsequent condensation into dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol …

The enrichment procedure of heavy metals (Fe 3+, Co 2+, and Hg 2+) in water was
examined in conjunction with in-air PIXE. The preconcentration step consisted of adsorption …

A study of the trace elemental concentration in drinking water from Salt Lake City, a
residential locality in Calcutta, India, was carried out using the proton induced X-ray …

Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique has been employed to determine
the concentrations of different elements in water samples collected from different locations of …

A procedure is described for the preparation of trace and ultratrace (1500 ppb to 10 ppt)
targets for PIXE analysis preconcentrated from water samples. Elements such as Fe, Co, Ni …

The capability of the PIXE technique to investigate trace elements in the environment (non-
living phases) can be improved by suitable target preparation procedures. This work …
