X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) has an important and well-established analytical role within the mining and minerals industry. It is used extensively for exploration, grade control, process monitoring and assuring that the composition of waste is within the limits of environmental norms and regulations.
Epsilon 4 benchtop spectrometers are used in mining operations, even at remote locations, for fast elemental analysis of ores, minerals and rocks. The combination of low infrastructural demands and the high analytical performance, enables quick determination of operation strategies in mining locations where utilities are limited.
Discover the possibilities of XRF analysis and reduce your feedback time from hours to minutes by placing the benchtop XRF spectrometer next to your mine or processing plant.
