MORPHOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS WITH SEM-EDX
The morphochemical characterisation of contaminants is an essential information in order to achieve the contamination control.
It allows the determination of the form and the elemental composition of contaminants thus permitting the identification of harmful elements in order to better target corrective actions.
Examples
Sampling with a MIC at the entry of fresh air before the filtration system.
Impaction area on the collector surface
Presence of mineral matter (silicate, geological dust), chloride, sulphur (combustion of oil residue) and iron oxide.
