Abstract
Based on our measurements, different statistical parameters were calculated for each analytical technique, which demonstrated that EDXRFS had been successfully applied to the determination of bromine and antimony concentration in the pyrolysis oils of Br-HIPS and Br-ABS. Errors resulting from matrix effects did occur, in particular correlations were found between the nitrogen content of the samples and the difference in bromine and antimony measured by EDXRFS and other methods (ion-chromatography and ICP-OES). However, these differences were found to be statistically insignificant, so we could conclude that EDXRFS is a suitable technique for analysing the bromine and antimony content of pyrolysis oils.
