"Appendix 6: XRF spectra of paper substrate of manuscripts under studied."
Remarks
The paper substrates of several manuscripts were analyzed using p-XRF. Elements identified across samples include Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb), Silicon (Si), Sulfur (S), Chlorine (Cl), Potassium (K), and Argon (Ar) (p. 323-327). Some samples also showed Manganese (Mn), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), and Silver (Ag) (p. 324-325). These elements likely originate from the sizing, fillers, or impurities in the water and pulp used during paper manufacturing.
