Abstract

Three methods namely precipitation separation technique, vacuum vapour deposition and solution deposit methods were chosen for the preparation of thin film standars. Recovery of the material, reproducibility of the procedure, uniformity of the standards and XRF spectrometer sensitivity tests for Fe, Zn and Pb were conducted. Precipitation separation technique seems to be a promising technique for such a work.
