Abstract

An on-stream XRF analysis system for monitoring the concentrations of the elements in float process slurries is described. The system consists of multiple XRF stations monitored by a central computer. The stations utilize high resolution Si(Li) detectors and radioisotope x-ray sources for stability and for good separation of adjacent elements such as Cu and Zn. Results obtained from an on-stream slurry analysis of Copper and Lead Tails and Copper and Lead Concentrates are presented and these are compared to assay lab results.
