Establishing an accurate calibration for a series of elements in a product is a tedious and costly exercise. The use of a stable monitor means that the calibration procedure need only be carried out at long intervals. The monitors listed below have been formulated so that they have appropriate count rates when analysing the different ores and products. The monitors contain little flux and should have good long-term stability. Most monitor types have been in use for many years. They are polished flat so that they can be mounted precisely and are easily cleaned.
Please note that the monitors are not certified for actual concentration values and as such there is no certificate provided. The monitor is designed for instrument drift correction and as such provides a stable matrix and representative count rates rather than a particular concentration. They are available as 40mm disks only.
These monitors were designed for the analysis of rocks, soils and related materials. They can also be used as general purpose monitors for analysing a wide range of materials, eg. vegetables, etc. They contain the following elements as majors: Fe, Mn, Ti, Ca, K, Cl, S, P, Si, Al, Mg, Na and F. In addition about 2000ppm of each of the following are present: Sc(1000ppm), V, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, Ga, Ge, Se, As, Rb, Sr, Br, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Yb, Hf, Ta, W, Bi, Tl, Pb, Th, and U (51 elements).
These are formulated for use in the analysis of iron ores and related materials. The following elements are present: Fe, Si, Al, Ca, F, Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Sn, Cd, Sb, Bi, Mo, Ba, and Pb (28 elements).
These monitors have been prepared for use when analysing mineral sand products, eg. ilmenite, rutile, zircon, monazite and xenotime. The following elements are present: Ti, Fe, Zr, Si, Y, La, Ce, Nd, Pr , Yb, P, F, Na, Mg, Al, S, Cl, K, Ca, Sc, V, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, As, Sr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Ba, Hf, Pb, Th, and U (39 elements).
Monitors prepared for analysing cement and related materials contain: Ca, Si, Al, Mg, Fe, Na, Cl, S, F, P, K, Ti, Cr, Mn, Zn, Sr, Br, Ba, and Pb (19 elements).
These monitors are for use with nickel ores and related materials. The following elements are present: Ni, Fe, S, Si, F, Na, Mg, Al, P, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Mo, Ag, Pb, and Bi (25 elements).
These monitors are for use when analysing manganese ores. They contain: Mn, Fe, Si, Na, Mg, Al, P, K, Ca, Ti, V, Sr, Br, and Ba, Pb (15 elements).
These monitors are for use with lead, zinc, iron and copper sulphides, as ores, concentrations and related products. They contain: Pb, Zn, Fe, Cu, S, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, Cl, Ti, Co, Ni, Cr, Mn, As, Sr, Se, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, Te, Tl, Mo, U, and Bi (32 elements).
These monitors are to be used when analysing monazite, xenotime and other rare earth minerals for the rare earth oxides. They contain: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y, P, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Cl, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Br, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ba, Hf, Pb, Th, and U (39 elements).
