Abstract:By comparing the data of the bronze drums matrix with the portable fluorescence analyzer (pXRF) and the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (ED-XRF), it is shown that pXRF is reliable in detecting the Majiang type copper drum with a lower degree of corrosion. pXRF was used to systematically detect 221 Majiang-type bronze drums in Anthropology Museum of Guangxi, the results show that the arsenic content of ≥2% is 53, accounting for 24%. Arsenic-containing Majiang type is an important alloy type of Majiang type bronze drum (arsenic-containing Majiang type). The arsenic-containing Majiang-type bronze drum is one of the most important bronzes in southern China. Its production is professional and complex, and provides important research materials for studying the development and utilization of arsenic-copper deposits in Guangxi and even southern China.
