PORTABLE XRF SPECTROMETER
XRF Analyzers: X-ray fluorescence (XRF) provides one of the simplest, most accurate and economical methods for multi-element analysis. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is basically the emission of characteristic "secondary" (or fluorescent) X-rays from a material that has been excited by bombarding with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays. The phenomenon is widely used for elemental analysis and chemical analysis, particularly in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials, and for research in geochemistry, forensic science and archaeology.
When materials are exposed to short-wavelength X-rays or to gamma rays, ionization of their component atoms may take place. Ionization consists of the ejection of one or more electrons from the atom, and may occur if the atom is exposed to radiation with an energy greater than its ionization potential. X-rays and gamma rays can be energetic enough to expel tightly held electrons from the inner orbitals of the atom. The removal of an electron in this way renders the electronic structure of the atom unstable, and electrons in higher orbitals "fall" into the lower orbital to fill the hole left behind. In falling, energy is released in the form of a photon, the energy of which is equal to the energy difference of the two orbitals involved. Thus, the material emits radiation, which has energy characteristic of the atoms present. The term fluorescence is applied to phenomena in which the absorption of radiation of a specific energy results in the re-emission of radiation of a different energy (generally lower).

Mining
Mineral analysis is a cornerstone of the mining industry and plays an integral role at every stage of the mining process, from mineral exploration to excavation control to process monitoring. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology presents one of the most accurate and most economical solutions to the mineral analysis demands of the mining industry.
XRF spectroscopy is non-destructive and reliable, requires no, or very little, sample preparation, and can be applied to analyze samples in solid, liquid, and powdered form. Whether you are required to analyze ores, feed, slags, or tailings in the mining process, XRF spectroscopy is the technique most commonly employed by the mining community. Using a handheld or table top XRF analyzer, in the field or in the lab, will provide you with accurate, timely, and consistent analysis results.
