X-ray fluorescence technology provides one of the simplest, most accurate and most economic analytical methods for the determination of the chemical composition of many types of materials. It is non-destructive and reliable, requires no, or very little, sample preparation and is suitable for solid, liquid and powdered samples. It can be used for a wide range of elements, from beryllium (4) to uranium (92), and provides detection limits at the ppm level; it can also precisely measure concentrations of up to 100%.

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)
