PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OF ON-LINE XRF ANALYSIS OF MINERALS ON A CONVEYOR BELT

  • NEW METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS IN MINING
  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of modernisation of an on-line X-ray fluorescent analyzer are presented, and its new capabilities are considered when investigating the composition of materials on the conveyor. The metrological characteristics of the analyzer are improved owing to the use of modern electronic components in the instrument part and new analytical software.
