Abstract
This study, examines trace element analysis of eighteen soil samples taken from the provinces of Trabzon and Giresun. The concentrations of trace elements were determined using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence. The physical basis of the analytical method used, experimental set up and the sample preparation are described. X-ray spectra were collected using a Si(Li) detector with a Camberra DSA-1000 desktop spectrum analyzer and Am241 and Fe55 annular radioactive sources. The energy resolution of the spectrometer is 160 eV at 5.9 keV.
