Designation:D806416Standard Test Method forElemental Analysis of Soil and Solid Waste byMonochromatic Energy Dispersive X-ray FluorescenceSpectrometry Using Multiple Monochromatic ExcitationBeams1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8064;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method is based upon energy-dispersive X-rayFluorescence(EDXRF)spectrometry using multiple mono-chromatic excitation beams for detection and quantification ofselected heavy metal elements in soil and related solid waste.1.2 This test method is also known as High Definition X-rayFluorescence(HDXRF)or Multiple Monochromatic BeamEDXRF(MMB-EDXRF).1.3 This test method is applicable to various soil matricesfor the determination of Cr,Ni,As,Cd,Hg,and Pb in the rangeof 1 to 5000 mg/kg,as specified in Table 1 and determined bya ruggedness study using representative samples.The limit ofdetection(LOD)for each element is listed in Table 1.The LODis estimated by measuring a SiO2blank sample(see Table X1.1in Appendix X1).1.4 This test method is applicable to other elements:Sb,Cu,Se,Ag,Tl,Zn,Ba,Au,Co,V,Fe,Mn,Mo,K,Rb,Sn,Sr,andTi.1.5 X-ray NomenclatureThis standard names X-ray linesusing the Siegbahn convention.21.6 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD4944 Test Method for Field Determination of Water(Mois-ture)Content of Soil by the Calcium Carbide Gas PressureTesterD5283 Practice for Generation of Environmental Data Re-lated to Waste Management Activities:Quality Assuranceand Quality Control Planning and ImplementationD5681 Terminology for Waste and Waste ManagementD5847 Practice for Writing Quality Control Specificationsfor Standard Test Methods for Water AnalysisE1169 Practice for Conducting Ruggedness TestsE1727 Practice for Field Collection of Soil Samples forSubsequent Lead DeterminationE2554 Practice for Estimating and Monitoring the Uncer-tainty of Test Results of a Test Method Using ControlChart Techniques2.2 Other Documents:ASTM DS46 X-Ray Emission Wavelengths and Kev Tablesfor Nondiffractive Analysis4ASTM MNL 7 Manual on Presentation of Data and ControlChart Analysis,8thed.4US EPA Method,Method 6200 Field Portable X-Ray Fluo-rescence Spectrometry for the Determination of ElementalConcentrations in Soil and Sediment51This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.06 onAnalytical Methods.Current edition approved Nov.1,2016.Published November 2016.DOI:10.1520/D8064-16.2Jenkins,R.,Manne,R.,Robin,R.,and Senemaud,C.,“Nomenclature Systemfor X-ray Spectroscopy,”Pure&Appl Chem.,Vol 63,No.5,pp.735746,1991.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4Available fromASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Dr.,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,www.astm.org.5Available from United States Environmental ProtectionAgency(EPA),WilliamJefferson Clinton Bldg.,1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,NW,Washington,DC 20460,https:/www.epa.gov/hw-sw846/sw-846test-method-6200-field-portable-x-ray-fluorescence-spectrometry-determination.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions of terms applying to XRF,soil,and waste management appear in Terminologies D653 andD5681.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 fundamental parameters(FP)model,na model forcalibration of X-ray fluorescence response,including the cor-rection of matrix effects,based on the theory describing thephysical processes of the interactions of X rays with matter.3.2.2 high energy monochromatic beam,na focusedmonochromatic beam having its selected photon energy be-tween 32 and 40 keV.3.2.3 medium energy monochromatic beam,na focusedmonochromatic beam having its selected photon energy be-tween 15 and 23 keV.3.2.4 monochromatic beam,nan incident monochromaticbeam on a sample having a selected photon energy with anarrow energy bandwidth relative to the selected energy;method precision is achieved with a monochromatic beamhaving an energy bandwidth(Full Width Half Maximum)lessthan 15%re
