Abstract
The elemental composition in peatland samples has been measured using the XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) instrument. Peat soil samples were taken using a peat core near the Lake Diatas Alahan Panjang. After the magnetic suceptibilty of the samples were measured using Bartington Magnetic Susceptibility with MS2C sensor the samples that had the highest value were subsequently selected for analysis of elemental composition. The given results of percentage of major composition, including Si (50,552%), Al (13,545%), Fe (12,23%), S (4,896%) and Mg (4,204%). The most magnetic element forming magnetic element was Fe that formed mineral such on hematite, magnetite, maghemite, ilmenite, greidite or geothite.
