Extract

Chemical analysis of geological materials such as nickel ores has been accomplished by atomic absorption (1,3) x-ray fluorescence (11,14) and conventional wet methods (10). Procedures utilizing these techniques are capable of producing excellent results but are often difficult and time consuming.

Minerals often present serious problems in chemical analysis by wet methods. X-ray analysis can therefore offer the analyst considerable savings in time providing the obstacles which exist are understood and minimized or eliminated. The most serious problems to solve are absorption and enhancement effects, mineralogical differences among samples, sample preparation, and particle size effects which often influence the intensities of the analytical lines. In addition, the element of interest may be of low concentration in a variable and unknown matrix.
