Summary of application fields of handheld mineral element spectrometer

When it comes to handheld mineral element spectrometers, we all know that Olympus (formerly Innos) is a well-known manufacturer of portable/small desktop XRD and handheld/portable XRF systems. The company's products are used by many scientific research institutions and geological and mining departments in Europe and the United States, and it has a high reputation in the portable/small desktop XRD and handheld/portable XRF industry.

So what are the main industries of the product? Here is a rough summary:

Cultural and archaeological research, geological exploration, geohazard risk control, marine exploration, petroleum and petrochemicals, boiler pressure vessels, steel mills, metallurgy, metal materials, aircraft manufacturing, renewable resource metals, cement solid waste, industrial solid waste, ternary materials, ternary catalysis, glass recycling, ROHS testing, public security criminal investigation, physical evidence identification and other fields.

The handheld mineral element spectrometer can detect the Mg-U elements in minerals, and the results can be obtained in 2 seconds. It can directly display the content and composition results of multiple elements in the minerals. The instrument has the advantages of small size, fast analysis speed, high accuracy, light weight and non-destructive testing.

Basic principles and application fields of handheld mineral element spectrometer

——Application areas:

Mineral analyzers are widely used in geological exploration, mine mapping, mining, grade identification, mineral trading, metal smelting and environmental monitoring.

——Analysis of mineral types:

Covering metals from Mg to U, non-metals and rare metal ores.

——Analysis samples:

Ore bodies, ore blocks, slag, ore powder, coarse ore, concentrate, tailings, soil, mud, slurry, dust, dust, filtrate, film, waste water, waste oil, liquid samples.

——Analysis elements:

It can analyze metal elements, non-metal elements, and rare metal elements from element 12 Mg to element 92 U, and the analysis elements can be selected according to actual needs.

——Exploration:

Multi-element on-site rapid analysis can be widely used in various processes of general survey and detailed investigation to track mineralization anomalies and expand the scope of exploration. It can greatly reduce the number of samples sent back to the laboratory, thereby saving transportation and analysis costs.

Handheld mineral element spectrometer/application:

1. Provide theoretical basis for mineral transactions and decision-making;

2. Immediate screening of drill hole samples in open pits, thereby improving efficiency in handling minerals/waste;

3. On-site analysis of ore stockpiles helps to quickly batch and feed the factory;

4. Real-time analysis of feed, concentrate and tailings enables the material dosage to be adjusted at any time in the processing plant;

5. In mining applications, special calibration is usually required for specific samples and matrices;

6. The analyzer can be easily set up and operated using a variety of calibration models, thus ensuring optimal performance during actual detection and analysis, and even obtaining accurate data in challenging light element (magnesium, aluminum, silicon) analysis.

In addition to the above points, the applications of handheld mineral element spectrometer in mineral exploration are as follows:

1. Collecting earth from mining areas during the survey, ploughing, trenching and other stages of geological exploration;

2. Chemical data to build mining area models and maps to help users make decisions quickly;

3. Quickly track mineralized anomalies on site, effectively find "hotspot" areas, and define drill holes;

4. Objective: to expand the exploration boundary of soil samples;

5. Pre-screen samples to improve the efficiency of off-site laboratory testing;

6. When drilling, hollow, RAB, RC, diamond core and other samples can be analyzed.
