Production of soil reference materials (for project partners) is integrated into the project „X-ray fluorescence, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (and Raman spectroscopy) as tools for a site-specific management of soil fertility“. BAM provides good analytics which is necessary for measuring the right values. Why is it important to have reference values? They enable the connection of own measuring results to the SI (international system of units) and the comparison with results from other laboratories. The soil reference materials are also needed for the calibration of the matrix dependent methods laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). For the production of soil reference materials different steps are required, for example drying, sieving and homogenisation.
The main task of BAM in the I4S project is the development of online analytics for reliable monitoring of major and minor nutrients like K, P, Ca in soil using mobile-XRF (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy) and mobile-LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy). Each method provides fast and simultaneous multi-element analyses which are neccessary for mapping agricultural cropland. The first objective was to design a combined measurement setup for XRF and LIBS. The centerpiece is the rotatable sample plate which enables the measurement of moving samples. Current steps are the optimisation of the parameters for the analysis of soils.
