CRMs for accurate elemental analysis of sulfide ores
Base metal sulfide ores - such as galena, molybdenite, pentlandite, sphalerite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite - are critical sources of valuable elements including Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Fe, Mn, Co, Mo, Bi, Sb, Cd, Sn, and W. Accurate quantification of these elements is essential for optimizing yield across mining and metallurgical processes.
Malvern Panalytical’s MP-SUL CRM kit is a synthetic, high-quality solution designed specifically for the challenges of sulfide ore analysis. Manufactured in accordance to ISO 17034, it ensures traceability, reliability, and compatibility with Zetium XRF spectrometers.
The MP-SUL CRM kit is modular and customizable. It includes:
Example analytes and oxides covered:

Note: Sulfur is oxidized to SO₃, resulting in concentrations exceeding 100% in some cases.
The traceability can be ensured all along the analytical chain by combining the data security audit trailing on our spectrometer, the sample monitoring options on our sample preparation equipment, and the CRMs produced with metrological traceability.
