Description
The radioisotope X-ray fluorescence measuring system has been developed for automatic multielement analysis of zinc-lead ore slurries. The system consists of several XRF measuring probes, electronic unit and minicomputer with its peripherals. The system has been used for simultaneous determination of Fe, Zn and Pb in flotation streams with accuracy within 3-15%, depending on metal concentration. Improved control of the flotation process resulting from on-stream analysis has led to increases of up to 3.4% in metal recovery. (author). 3 refs, 4 figs, 1 tab
