Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy

original results of the markers. However there have been repeated analysis’s since surovell et al, which were able to replicate some of the results. This could be because of surovell et al neglected touse scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x ray spectroscopy, which were used by Firestone et al., 2007. (WITKEI) it has also been reported that they failed to visit the exact locations that the markers were…

Chapter 1 Introduction Waste generated from food industries is a source of an untapped energy which is mostly dumped inland fills whereby it releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
