The photoactivation analysis of copper in copper ore and flotation products
Description
This paper details a photoactivation analysis method for estimation of copper in copper ore and flotation products. The reaction 63Cu (γ,n)62Cu+β+ results in annihilation radiation which is measured by gamma spectrometry with time resolution 1-2x10-7 nanoseconds. The paper describes the analytical system using this method. The method has been found useful not only for determination of Cu in ore and flotation products but for determination of Pb, Zn and Ag. The method is very fast, inexpensive and avoids the use of noxious and corrosive chemicals which are required for conventional methods of assay. (author). 3 figs, 1 tab
