Rigaku EDXRF application note #1495 demonstrates the analysis of lead-zinc ore using the empirical calibration method. Elemental analysis is important in the examination of ores, from screening throughout the processing areas to final determination. The described method yields excellent results for screening and characterization of lead/zinc ore at the mine site or processing facilities for optimum product QA/QC.
The 2024 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award
January 1st 2024This year’s Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award recipient is Eduardo Bolea-Fernández. For the past decade, Bolea-Fernández’s research has focused on the development of a newly introduced technique, termed tandem ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS), for ultra-trace elemental and isotopic analysis. Senior technical editor Jerome Workman discusses Bolea-Fernández’s work here.
Advancements in Non-Invasive Analysis of Historical Metal Artifacts
December 19th 2023Studying historical ancient artifacts requires the use of a nondestructive technique to analyze the metal surfaces of these objects. This study presents two approaches that improves on existing methods when conducting alloy analysis.
