Determination of Uranium in Flotation Concentrates and in Leach Liquors by X-Ray Fluorescence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
X-ray fluorescence has been applied to the analysis of flotation concentrates obtained from pegmatitic uranium ores occurring in Northern Saskatchewan. It has been found necessary to use an internal standard such as strontium or yttrium. The time required for an analysis, as compared to that of conventional chemical or U.V. fluorescence methods, is considerably reduced and flotation pilot plant operations can therefore be more effectively controlled. The method has been extended to include the analysis of sulphate liquors obtained from the leaching of pegmatitic ores and their flotation concentrates. The amount of iron present in the samples is also determined by reference to the internal standard used for the uranium. This additional information is useful in assessing the efficiency of various flotation and leaching techniques.
