title: The analysis of flue gas treatment residues using non-destructive X-ray fluorescence as a regulatory compliance test.
abstract: Current and proposed European Union (EU) regulations require the residual material from municipal solid waste incineration to be characterised prior to disposal. X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) provides a rapid and non-destructive technique for analysing such materials.
