Quality control put to the test

摘要

Modern XRF technology enables highly accurate and rapid determination of the chemical composition of minerals. It is inexpensive compared with other analysis techniques and requires only very simple sample preparation. Tightening control and increasing regulatory pressures mean that testing is now essential to ensure adherence to the latest product and legislation standards. Putting the emphasis on regulations would make it almost mandatory to buy such a system. The data presented demonstrates the ability of the MiniPal QC EDXRF system to deliver precise results in just five minutes. Such economical and practical benefits make XRF a valuable tool for quality control in the mining and minerals industry.
