Feasibility studies of the on-stream analysis of lead in mineral slurries

Creators

Description

Instruments for the measurement of lead in mineral slurries by the use of isotopes can be based on the absorption of low-energy gamma rays, backscattering of beta particles, or X-ray fluorescence. The merits of each method are discussed, and the reasons for the selection of the beta-backscattering technique are given. A system using this technique has been designed, constructed, and tested on samples of concentrates from an industrial concentrator

Abstract (Afrikaans)

Instrumente om lood in mineraalflodders met gebruik van isotope te meet, kan op die absorpsie van lae-energiegammastrale, terugverstrooiing van betadeeltjies, of X-straalfluoressensie gebaseer word. Die meriete van elke metode word bespreek en die redes vir die keuse van die betaterugverstrooiingstegniek word verstrek. 'n Stelsel wat van hierdie tegniek gebruik maak, is ontwerp, gebou en met konsentraatmonsters afkomstig van 'n industriele konsentreerder getoets
