Zetium | XRF Mineral Analyzer | Malvern Panalytical

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

Applications

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

Customizations

The system can be customized to measure elements lighter than O. It 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
