Enhancing productivity and value

of mineral sources
Almost all modern industrial materials and products
depend on the mining, extraction and quality of their
corresponding raw materials. Indeed, geology and mining
are fundamental to many of the manufacturing processes
of products as diverse as metals, cement, ceramics,
glasses, chemicals, petrochemicals, semiconductors,
advanced devices and energy. Mineral extraction and
their processes have huge impact on the environment,
energy consumption and safety. With ever increasing
demand for high grade mineral sources, there is a need for
improved productivity and value addition while meeting the
environmental standards and quality.

This demand calls for efficient analytical techniques to help


the mining operations and their laboratories so that faster
decisions can be taken and more value-added products
can be processed. X-ray fluorescence is a well-established also identify and quantify toxic or undesirable elements or
elemental analysis technique for geological materials while compounds which can adversely affect the final product
X-ray diffraction adds value by determining the mineralogy or the environment. Both XRF and XRD instruments can
and phase composition. Apart from the economically address these challenges thanks to their wide-ranging
important elements or their phases, these techniques can capabilities to quantify with or without reference materials.
