Mining analysis by XRF
Whether the determination entails measurement of ores, feed, slags, or tailings in the mining process, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy is the most commonly employed technique for these routine determinations of metals and their oxides. Rigaku's technology and know-how provide a number of unique solutions for this category of application:
- Inverted or standard optics depending on application
- Small sample or inclusion analysis
- No digestion or wet chemistry prep
- Very high throughput
- Low detection limits
- Excellent light element sensitivity
- Analysis without standards (or few)
Using Mineral-Pak ensures the accurate and precise measurements of your unknowns and makes geochemical analysis a routine daily task. It is based on wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence and performs trace analysis directly on solid samples. No hazardous chemicals oracid digestion are required. Sample preparation is simple, safe and can be carried out by non-technical users.
