Analytical and Process Control

Elemental Analysis

LTC can design and manufacture a range of analytical instrumentation for elemental analysis of mineral ores, based on high energy X-Ray Fluorescence and other X-Ray techniques. Please contact us to discuss customised instrumentation for gold, platinum, uranium, tungsten, tantalum, and other elements. The detection range for ore is typically 0.1 ppm to 10,000 ppm. The technique can also be applied to slurries and liquids, for process control.

Current projects include:

Laboratory automation by seamless integration of sample preparation and analytical techniques (gold, platinum, other elements).
Detection of diamonds and other gemstones in exploration samples.
Bullion and jewellery analysis.
Design services for new applications.

Key Benefits:

Non-destructive and environmentally friendly.
Accurate and precise, even with complex ore bodies.
Large samples can be analysed, to reduce sampling errors.
Cost effective and rapid results.
