A graphical method of X‐ray fluorescence matrix correction is presented. Experimental evidence is based upon copper assays where sample matrix varies widely in the ore and smelter samples studied. Corrections are performed on concentrated, solvated samples, but the analyte peak alone is observed in practice.
