Abstract

Radioisotope excitation, solid-state detection, and multichannel pulse-height analysis have been applied successfully to the determination of molybdenum in copper and molybdenum-process intermediates. Analytical data are presented, and comparisons are made with the conventional X-ray fluorescence approach. The equipment performed satisfactorily in molybdenum plant control and shows promise for other industrial applications with the development of suitable isotope sources.
