Application of field portable
X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF)
in mining and geology
Description:
Application of field portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) in mining and geology
Field-portable x-ray florescence (FPXRF) is a technique that has gained momentum and application in various fields from geology/mineralogy to mining (grass root exploration to exploitation and ore grade control), environmental science, metallurgy, geo-archeology and even oil/gas exploration and production. This technique has the ability to produce fast and accurate results (depending on the concentration, sample type and operational conditions) with little or no sample preparation. This technique offers fast and on-site real time analysis that makes it a very suitable method during green root and brown field exploration such as drill management, identification of anomalies, preparation of geochemical maps in real time, and selecting proper samples for laboratory analysis.
Attendees are welcome to bring their samples for test.
