Nuclear Analytical Techniques for Mineral Exploration, Mining and Processing Plants. Working Papers Prepared in Connection with the Final Research Co-Ordination Meeting Held in Melbourne, Australia 3 to 7 November 1986

摘要

This volume is the final report from the Coordinated Research Programme and consists primarily of the research reports presented at the third meeting of the participants. The participants of the meeting considered and discussed progress and achievements made during the last three years: systems for in-stream analysis of mineral slurries, on-line determination of ash in coal using low energy gamma rays transmission and pair production techniques, in-stream determination of solids weight fraction and ash content of coal in slurries, on-line determination of moisture in coal, iron in high grade iron ores and sulfur in lead sinter, developed and tested a borehole logging system based on the spectrometric gamma-gamma method in coal, iron ore and manganese deposits, the results from the NAA and XRF analysis of the tailings and slurries exhibit the potentiality of nuclear analytical techniques in the various stages of the mining industry. A separate abstract was prepared for each of the 12 papers in this volume. Refs, figs and tabs. (Atomindex citation 18:090393)
