Neutron-activation analysis of routine mineral-processing samples

Description

Instrumental neutron-activation analysis was applied to a suite of typical mineral-processing samples to establish which elements can be rapidly determined in them by this technique. A total of 35 elements can be determined with precisions (from the counting statistics) ranging from better than 1 per cent to approximately 20 per cent. The elements that can be determined have been tabulated together with the experimental conditions, the precision from the counting statistics, and the estimated number of analyses possible per day. With an automated system, this number can be as high as 150 in the most favourable cases

Abstract (Afrikaans)

Instrumentele neutronaktiveringsanalise is toegepas op 'n reeks tipiese mineraalverwerkingsmonsters om vas te stel watter elemente vinnig deur middel van hierdie tegniek in hulle bepaal kan word. Altesame 35 elemente kan bepaal word met 'n presisie (vanaf die tellende statistiek) wat wissel van beter as 1 persent tot ongeveer 20 persent. Die elemente wat bepaal kan word, is getabelleer tesame met die eksperimentele toestande, die presisie vanaf die tellende statistiek, en die geraamde getal ontledings wat per dag gedoen kan word. Met 'n geoutomatiseerde stelsel kan hierdie getal in die gunstigste gevalle so hoog as 150 wees
