In this paper

we give an introduction first to two quantification methods for synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis(SRXRF)

namely fundamental parameters method and Monte-Carlo simulation method

for their application on the BL15U1 beamline(hard X-ray microprobe) at SSRF(Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility).Effectiveness of the two methods is demonstrated and the XRF detection limits of the BL15U1 beamline are calculated.The results show that

quantitative analysis at the ppm level can be done using the two methods

with an accuracy of better than 10%.Although both the methods are valid for the SRXRF data analysis

the Monte Carlo method gives better analysis result

as it compares the simulated spectrum with the experiment spectrum

and this helps the determination of experiment parameters and thus minimizes the error caused by incorrect parameters.Finally

the detection limits shows that the BL15U1 beamline is capable of carrying out standard-of-the-art XRF experiment.
