The Uncertainty of SiO2 in Iron Ore Determined by X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry Evaluated by Top-Down Control Chart Method
According to the standard method GB/6730.62-2005,iron ores-determination of calcium,silicon,magnesium,titanium,phosphorus,manganese,aluminum and barium content-wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry method,the content of SiO2 in iron ores was determined.The certified reference material YSBC 14721-98,which contains 8.78% SiO2,was taken as the quality control sample,and 20 datas were obtained by measuring the quality control sample at different time by different operator,after outlier testing,according to the GB/T 27407-2010 and the GB/T 27411-2012,the uncertainty was evaluated by Top-Down technical control chart method.The intermediate precision was between the standard deviation of repeatability and reproducibility,which was reasonable.An iron ore sample was determined,the content of SiO2 was 5.24%,the uncertainty was 0.0256%,the uncertainty u(b)was 0.0313%,the standard uncertainty u was 0.0404%,under the coverage probability p=95% and the coverage factor k=2,the expanded uncertainty U was 0.08%.This evaluation method not only obtains the uncertainty,but also combines with the daily quality control to ensure the detection quality,which should promote using in the laboratories.
