Interstitial Water Determination

A knowledge of the magnitude of the irreducible interstitial water in a porous medium is so important to petroleum engineering that its determination has become routine in core analyses. In all geological formations there exists, in the pore spaces of the rock structure, water that is held in a state of equilibrium between capillary and … Read more

Aqua Regia-Extractable Versus Total Copper and Zinc Content of Granitic Rocks

One of the analytical problems in exploration geochemistry is the choice of a method of sample attack which would be rapid, simple and reliable in terms of precision and discrimination between different concentration levels of elements sought. The wet sample attacks currently used in analysis of silicate rocks vary from total decomposition to leaching by … Read more

Gangue Assay

On-stream analysis is a much more rapid means of obtaining true assays of a flowing product when compared to wet chemistry or “grab” samples dried, briquetted and assayed by x-ray. In contrast, on-stream analysis uses real time samples assayed every 30 seconds while each stream is assayed every 5 to 15 minutes. The main physical … Read more

On Stream Analysis

An on-stream analyser cannot be considered in isolation from the mineral process where it is to be ultimately installed. Depending upon the requirements of the process, an on-stream analyser can be designed in several ways. If a feasibility study done on the process shows that several elements in a multi-channel stream are to be analysed … Read more

Slurry Ash Analyzer Theory

Coal cleaning plants have traditionally been operated with the primary goal of minimizing the operating cost, with little attention to quality control. However, increasingly stringent air-quality regulations have made the product quality more critical. Without automatic controls, plants often must sacrifice recovery in order to meet specifications. Instrumentation and control, by providing a means for … Read more

Microwave Digestion

We conducted research related to Microwave Digestion in hope it would lead to the improvement of analytical procedures used to characterise metal and mineral samples. In particular, this research is directed to the reduction in time, complexity, and expense of sample dissolution for chemical and instrumental analysis. The rapid development of automated instrumentation has enabled the … Read more
