Analyzing Mining Samples with AAS and ICP-OES Determination of metals made easy
Determining the presence or absence of metals in mining samples, such as soil, ores, raw metals, and alloys, is a significant analytical challenge that must be carried out accurately and cost-effectively. However, this analysis is critical for resource evaluation, process optimization and environmental monitoring, and requires efficient analytical routines. In this web seminar, we will demonstrate how to overcome these analytical challenges using precise and robust instruments based on AAS and ICP-OES technology, in a simple, user-friendly and cost-effective manner. We will explore the benefits of each technique, including analytical performance and matrix effects, using selected application examples. We will also discuss best practices for sample preparation, method selection and quality control to ensure reliable, reproducible results with these challenging sample types. Whether you are new to elemental analysis or looking to refine your analytical strategy, this session will provide valuable guidance on leveraging AAS and ICP-OES in mining applications. With modern instrumentation and streamlined workflows, complex analyses can be performed with surprising ease and efficiency – it's as easy as a walk in the park!
