Abstract

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) is widely used for rapid, non-destructive geochemical characterization of rocks and soils in laboratory and field applications. This study evaluates the working principles and analytical performance of the Bruker S1 Titan 600 portable XRF analyzer for rock-derived materials. Construction fill soil and iron sand samples collected from Aceh Province, Indonesia, were analyzed using the geomining calibration mode under controlled laboratory conditions with repeated measurements. The results show that silicon (Si) is the dominant element in construction fill soil, with concentrations consistently exceeding 60 wt%, while iron (Fe) is dominant in iron sand samples with concentrations above 70 wt%. The repeated measurements demonstrate good analytical repeatability for major elements, indicating that the instrument is suitable for preliminary geochemical classification and screening of geological materials.
