Operational discharges of spent drilling fluid, produced water, and accumulated drill cuttings from oil and gas industry are a continuous point source of environmental pollution. To meet the strict environmental standard for waste disposal, oil and g... Read More about Oil based drilling fluid waste: an overview on environmentally persistent pollutants..

Multivariate analysis of Scotch whisky by total reflection X-ray fluorescence and chemometric methods: a potential tool in the identification of counterfeits. (2017)
Journal Article
SHAND, C.A., WENDLER, R., DAWSON, L., YATES, K. and STEPHENSON, H. 2017. Multivariate analysis of Scotch whisky by total reflection X-ray fluorescence and chemometric methods: a potential tool in the identification of counterfeits. Analytica chimica acta [online], 976, pages 14-24. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aca.2017.04.041

Most methods used in the identification of counterfeit whisky have focused on the profiling of volatile organic congeners determined by gas chromatography. We tested the use of total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) for trace element analysis of...
