From Sample to Solution 2: Introducing a Turnkey XRF Solution for Base Metal Sulfide

About The Event

(Episode 2 of a 4-part webinar series on analytical solutions for mining and minerals) Base metal sulfides are among the most important raw materials in the mining industry, representing key sources of metals such as copper, zinc, lead, nickel, and molybdenum. Accurate elemental analysis of these materials is essential to optimize recovery, control processing efficiency, and ensure product quality across the mining value chain, from ore characterization to concentrate and tailings analysis. In this session, Malvern Panalytical presents a dedicated turnkey XRF solution for Zetium instruments, designed specifically for the analysis of base metal sulfide materials. This solution enables accurate and reliable quantification of major and minor elements across a wide range of challenging matrices, including ores, concentrates, and tailings. By combining specialized calibration materials (including synthetic CRMs), optimized oxidation and fusion methodologies, and advanced XRF application design, this solution addresses key analytical challenges associated with sulfide materials. These include difficulties in fusion due to their reduced chemical state, risk of damage to fusion ware, and the limited availability of suitable reference materials. The result is a robust and high-performance analytical workflow that delivers reliable, repeatable data with minimal method development. This webinar is part of a four-part series showcasing Malvern Panalytical’s turnkey application solutions for mining and mineral analysis. Each episode focuses on a specific material or analytical challenge, demonstrating how these solutions simplify workflows and improve analytical confidence. Join us to discover how this turnkey solution can help your laboratory achieve accurate and consistent base metal sulfide analysis with reduced complexity.
