The standard addition method for the determination of As, Sr, In, Sn, Sb, I, Cs and Ba elements in colemanite ore of Bigadic region in the city of Balikesir (Turkey) was applied by using an Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) system. Samples are prepared from powder sifted by a 300-mesh sieve. An annular 100 mCi Am-241 radioactive source emitting 59.5 keV photons was used for excitation. The characteristic K X-rays of the different elements were detected with a Si(Li) detector. These results are presented and discussed in this paper. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
