A method and apparatus for continuous measurement, by X-ray fluorescence analysis, of the elemental content of a slurry, independently of slurry density and slurry composition. The slurry, a source of primary radiation, a target, and a detector are arranged so that the slurry passes between the source and the detector, and a portion of the primary radiation excites the elements in the slurry to emit elemental X-ray radiation. The primary radiation also excites the target, to emit target radiation which passes through the slurry. The primary, target, and elemental radiations are absorbed by the detector, and the absorbed radiations are evaluated to determine the elemental content of the slurry.
