Definitions
- This invention relates to the analysis of materials, and in particular to a flux composition for x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis of ore samples.
- Background X-ray flux is produced by fusing at high temperatures ( approx. 1100 degrees C. ) in platinum or platinum alloy crucibles, chemicals containing lithium and boron or chemicals containing lithium or boron. The molten material is then cooled and reduced in size to a powder or coarse material. The resultant material is x-ray flux and is usually represented or specified in the final commercial product as ratios of lithium tetraborate to lithium metaborate.
- the x-ray flux is then mixed with samples to be analyzed, e.g. iron ore, and melted in a platinum or platinum alloy mold.
- samples to be analyzed e.g. iron ore
- the mixture is melted in a platinum or platinum alloy crucible and poured into a platinum or platinum alloy mold.
- the mold is cooled and the result is a glass like disc which is then placed into an x-ray fluorescence spectrograph machine for analysis.
- lanthanides in the yttrium group of elements which comprise gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium,- ytterbium, and lutetium, have hitherto unsuspected properties such that when fused together with the lithium and boron compounds to form x-ray flux they are useful as an internal standard in x-ray fluorescence analysis.
- a flux composition having ionic moieties selected from a lanthanide. Best Mode(s) for Carrying Out the Invention
- the embodiment involves the addition of terbium or terbium containing compounds plus silicon dioxide to the lithium and boron containing chemicals before fusing to make the flux.
- the addition of terbium or terbium compounds is added such that the percentage of terhium in the finished-flux. is from 0.5 to 15% by weight.
- Silicon dioxide is also added to the lithium, boron and terbium containing compounds before fusing to give a percentage of silicon dioxide in the finished flux of 2 to 7% by weight.
- a batch of flux is made up by adding to 100 grams of lithium tetraborate and lithium metaborate in the proportion of 1.2 parts to 2.2 parts respectively or a mixture of chemicals which when fused gives the equivalent of fusing the directly aforementioned mixture, 13.095 grams of terbium oxide (Tb 4 O 7 ) and 5.95 grams of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ). These ingredients are combined and mixed, and placed in a platinum or platinum alloy crucible and are fused at 1100 degrees C. The fused mix, which forms a liquid glass, is allowed to cool and reduced in size to a coarse material or a powder to produce the finished flux composition.
- Tb 4 O 7 terbium oxide
- SiO 2 silicon dioxide
- a known quantity of iron ore is combined with a known quantity of the finished flux composition, such that the amount of ore relative to the amount of elemental terbium present in the flux composition is known.
- 1 gram of ore is added to 7 grams of flux, and melted in a platinum or platinum alloy mold.
- the ore and flux is melted in a platinum or platinum alloy crucible and poured into a mold. The mold is cooled, the contents forming a glass-like disc which is then placed into an x-ray fluorescence spectrograph machine for analysis.
- the amount of iron present is determined by analysis of the spectral lines and comparison with the spectral lines of terbium. It has been found that terbium has an x-ray fluorescence wavelength close to iron, such that the matrix effect or interference effect is effectively the same as for iron. Further, the terbium and iron spectral lines are similarly affected by other elements usually present in iron ore samples. Consequently, by examining the ratios of the intensity of the wavelength of terbium to iron, the amount of iron in the disc and subsequently in the sample, can be easily and accurately determined mathematically. Furthermore, the flux composition provides a failsafe analytical technique, in that should the spectral lines for terbium not be present, the analysis can be considered to have failed.
