Mining and refining

Analysis of ores, feeds, slag, tails and metals

Rigaku instruments are used for elemental and mineralogical analysis for efficient, green and high-quality production. X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) can be used to determine, for example, metal-oxide concentrations, oxide stoichiometry and quantities of mineralogical phases, which are crucial for your mining, refining and production processes. Rigaku offers a variety of solutions for your R&D laboratory, for routine production and process control, as well as cost-effective benchtop equipment, fulfilling the analytical requirements of industry standards. All of this is combined with excellent service and support structure for guaranteed equipment uptime.
