The quantification of CHNO was achieved by using the Rayleigh and Compton scattering spectra of an Rh X-ray tube from 84 different polymers. Concealed differences of the corresponding scattering spectra could be utilized to quantify CHNO in a multivariate manner. It was shown that the developed model was capable of determining these commonly non-measurable matrix elements in polymers using WDXRF. Furthermore, the influence of spectral resolution, which is given by the collimator and the crystal, on the prediction of CHNO was explored in this study. It was found that minimal spectral resolution led to the most accurate CHNO predictions. Information about matrix composition could be used to improve so-called semi-quantitative XRF methods based on fundamental parameters (FP) for the analysis of plastics, soil or other samples with high organic content.}, language = {en} } @article{SandtenBoeingHrinciusetal.2021, author = {Sandten, Christian Stefan and B{\"o}ing, Christian and Hrincius, Eike and Anhlan, Darisuren and Kreyenschmidt, Martin and Ludwig, Stephan and Mertins, Hans-Christoph and Mellmann, Alexander and Dworog, Andreas and Hanning, Stephanie and Kuennemann, Thilo and Niehues, Christopher and Schupp, Thomas and Stec, Edyta and Thume, Julius and Triphaus, Daniel and Wilkern, Markus and Uphoff, Holger and Z{\"u}ndorf, Josef and Jacobshagen, Anja}, title = {Decontamination of disposable respirators for reuse in a pandemic employing in-situ-generated peracetic acid}, series = {American Journal of Infection Control}, volume = {00 / 2021}, journal = {American Journal of Infection Control}, doi = {10.1016/j.ajic.2021.09.017}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2021}, language = {en} }
