Abstract:X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has became a mature analysis method of multi-elements in geochemical exploration samples. It is applicable for the determination of major, minor and trace elements in general rocks, soils and stream sediments. During the determination of multi-components in geochemical exploration samples (1∶250 000) from Zimbabwe, the mass fraction of Cr showed abnormality (up to 0.x%-x%) since the sample was basite or ultrabasic rocks. Meanwhile, the determination results of Mn in these samples with abnormal Cr content were negative. In order to solve the determination of abnormal geochemical exploration samples from Zimbabwe, two ultrabasic rocks certified reference materials(GBW07101 and GBW07102) and calibration samples prepared with known proportion were used to plotted the calibration curves, which broadened the linear range of Ni, MgO and Cr. Meanwhile, Mn was determined with LiF220 crystal and MnKα line, or with LiF200 crystal and MnKβ line to eliminate the interference of CrKβ line with the determination of MnKα line. As a result, the problem that the determination results of Mn were negative due to the abnormality of Cr content could be solved. The proposed method was applied to the determination of multi-components in geochemical exploration samples from Zimbabwe with matrix empirical coefficient method. The results were consistent with wet method, and the relative standard deviations (RSD,n=10) were below 5%.
