There are two major reasons for this: firstly, aluminum alloys are particularly amenable to recycling and can be recycled many times without losing their properties and secondly, huge energy savings are possible as recycling uses only 5% of the energy required to extract and refine new aluminum. Recycling aluminum alloys is beneficial both financially and environmentally and has become a major industry in its own right.



The SPECTRO XEPOS energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) spectrometer redefines ED-XRF analysis with exceptional new levels of performance and is designed for demanding applications SPECTRO also brings to market a broad range of bench-top ED-XRF spectrometers for special elemental analysis tasks to multi-purpose laboratory spectrometers for trace element analysis, and a wide range of on-line solutions – whatever your specifications, we can meet them.
SPECTRO XSORT PORTABLE
The company offers a complete range of X-ray fluorescence portable spectrometers such as the small handheld XRF, xSORT and the SPECTROSCOUT, a portable spectrometer that brings lab-grade analysis into the field. In recent years, SPECTRO has set standards by further developing X-ray fluorescence technology to create many new fields of operation for ED-XRF spectrometers. SPECTRO is a world leader in the manufacture of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers. XRF provides detection limits at the sub-ppm level it can also measure concentrations of up to 100% easily and simultaneously. The highest atomic number element, which is covered, is americium (95). Depending on the analyzer the covered element range starts with carbon (6) for a qualitative analysis and starts with fluorine (9) for a quantitative analysis. It is non-destructive and reliable, requires no, or very little, sample preparation and is suitable for solid, liquid and powdered samples. X-ray fluorescence technology (XRF) provides one of the simplest, most accurate and most economic analytical methods for the determination of the chemical composition of many types of materials.
