Elemental Geochemestry

Geochemistry by XRF

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is the most accepted analytic technology for grade control in mineral production and processing.
Transporting ore in and open pit mine

Grade Control and Bulk Geochemistry Solutions

Grade control is the classification of reserves into ore, low grade, waste material or metallurgical types. Bruker’s wide range of XRF instrumentation can meet any need in production monitoring for mining in the goal of separating waste from ore.

Mineralogy from Powder Diffraction XRD

X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a critical input for mining operations and process control. Mineral speciation can determine grade and processing options. XRD is also critical for identification of problematic gangue minerals that impact mineral processing or cause environmental impacts. Bruker’s dynamic portfolio of XRD instrumentation is applicable to all kinds of metallic and non-metallic commodities.
