The Minerals edition of Zetium

The new element in minerals

The Minerals edition of the Zetium spectrometer is designed for materials analysis at all stages of the mining process. From exploration samples to mineral concentrates, ores to tailings, the Minerals edition delivers superior flexibility, analytical performance and stability in demanding mining environments.

Like all Zetium spectrometers, the Minerals edition delivers reliable analytical performance regardless of the application and excels at major, minor and trace element quantification in geological materials from exploration to tails in industries such as: 

• Iron ore 

• Base metals

• Bauxite and alumina

• Precious metals

• Rare earth elements (REEs)

• Raw materials

• Phosphates

• Coal

Overview

The Minerals edition is pre-configured to cover a wide elemental range from oxygen (O) to americium (Am) at concentrations from ppm to 100 wt%. The system is delivered with a new, faster sample changer, the latest version of our renowned SuperQ software (including our new Virtual Analyst) and your choice of application solutions including:

• WROXI - for the analysis of oxides in geological samples
• Certification of 20 in-house samples.

The system can be customized to measure elements lighter than O and can be further optimized to meet even the most demanding requirements with a choice of packages for improvements in speed, robustness, flexibility and sensitivity. The possibility to add our innovative ED core delivers unique advantages in mineral and mining applications including:

• reduction in analysis times of up to 50 % or improved precision in a given time.
• identification of unexpected elements in production
• enhanced traceability with spectrum archiving

Connected World

Unleash the potential of your data

Until now, instrument data has too often been stuck in manual records, spreadsheets or site-specific servers. By connecting the Zetium to our Smart Manager and continually analyzing instrument data in the cloud, you can unleash its full potential. This is just one of our digital solutions that are part of Malvern Panalytical's Connected World.

Specification

Basic configuration highlights Performance upgrades Benefits
Fast sample changer and turret-style loading Minimize time between samples 
Remain at full power while samples are changed 
Maximize stability and minimize the risk of tube window damage
2.4 kW SST R-mAX Unique, drift-free, super-sharp SST R-mAX X-ray tubes feature new technology for improved robustness
SumXcore Up to 50 % reduction in measurement times 
Identification and flagging of unexpected elements in production control
WROXI or sample certification WROXI application module, for the analysis of major and minor oxides in geological materials 
Certification of up to 25 of your own samples by our ISO 17025-certified laboratory, for use as in-house calibration or monitor samples
Speed & throughput Minimize total analysis time by incorporating 3 key upgrades: 
• Continuous loading – a second turret position allowing a second sample to be loaded and evacuated while the first is measured
• Direct loading – a tool that allows loading of solid samples into pre-loaded sample cups in the turret positions, minimizing overhead times and improving repeatability
• 2.4 to 4 kW power upgrade – same analytical results in a shorter time
