Abstract
XRF quantitative analyses of volcanic ash were carried out in the Micr oanalysis Station of the PWA Group of the Frascati National Laboratori es. Very accurate results were obtained using a conventional XRF arran gement. These results were compared with the ones obtained by means of chemical analysis, in a different laboratory, showing a good agreemen t. Qualitative analyses using a total-reflection setup were performed, obtaining optimal spectra and detecting new elements not observed in previous measurements.
