From Sample to Solution 1: Introducing a Turnkey XRF Solution for Rare Earths Analysis

About The Event

(Episode 1 of a 4-part webinar series on analytical solutions for mining and minerals) Rare Earth Elements (REE) are critical minerals used in modern technologies such as smartphones, batteries, wind turbines, LEDs, catalysts, and defense applications. With global demand rising and production concentrated in a few countries, laboratories face increasing pressure to analyze REE accurately across the entire production chain—from mining and separation to refining and alloy formation. In this session, Malvern Panalytical presents a totally new turnkey XRF application for Zetium instruments. This solution enables what was previously very challenging: quantitative analysis of all 17 REE alongside 23 other major and minor elements, across a wide variety of oxidic ores, enriched concentrates, and magnets. By combining dedicated calibration materials, fusion methodology, and a sophisticated XRF application, this solution overcomes the lack of standards, addresses over 200 spectral line overlaps, and delivers premium analytical performance. Attendees will also learn about trace-level analysis options using pressed powders. This webinar is the first of a four-part series highlighting Malvern Panalytical’s application solutions for different mining and mineral materials. Each episode focuses on a specific material or challenge, showing how our turnkey solutions simplify analysis and deliver reliable results across a range of workflows. Join us to discover how this turnkey solution can help your laboratory achieve reliable, repeatable, and previously unattainable REE analysis with minimal method development.
