MINING
Mineral Exploration, Discovery & Processing
Both XRF and XRD are well established techniques for elemental analysis and phase identification. However, only recently has advancements in technology allowed for field portable analysis.

With the Innov-X Handheld XRF, miners can now save time and money by on-site analysis of elements from Phosphorus to Uranium in solids, liquids, powders, cores, fragments, filters & films, and slurries. With the Innov-X "Terra" X-Ray Diffractometer, miners can perform on-site phase identification of mining and mineral products.
Phase Identification of rocks and minerals
X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive technique for characterizing crystalline materials. It provides information on structures, phases, preferred crystal orientations (texture) and other structural parameters. With limited field sample preparation it is now possible to perform this previously laboratory based analysis right at the site.

Environmental Monitoring
Most mining companies follow a sustainable development plan that helps minimize the environmental and health impact of the mining process. During smelting, unwanted slag material is analyzed for the natural metals that remain to be reported through the Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA.). OSHA may require elemental analysis of ambient air on filters to monitor toxic dust exposure of miners.

The Innov-X Handheld XRF for elemental analysis meets EPA Method 6200 for metals in soil, NIOSH Method 7702 for lead in air filters, and OSHA Methods OSSA1 and OSS1 for lead in air filters and dust wipes. The 8 RCRA Metals and Priority Pollutant Metals are easily monitored on-site with the Innov-X Handheld XRF.
The Innov-X Systems Materials Testing & Mining Analyzers include standard hardware and accessories. Capabilities available include Fundamental Parameters, Empirical Analysis, linear or quadratic calibration modes, LEAP for Light Element Analysis, and Single or Multielement analysis capability.
