Abstract

With the introduction in 1960 of the first commercial multichannel vacuum X-ray spectrometers, ARL opened the way for greater economy of operation for light-element analysis over conventional helium-path instrumentation. The design concepts and features of these instruments are discussed, including the adaptability to “on-stream” or continuous analyzer programs. The successful application of vacuum X-ray equipment for the analysis of ores, concentrates, and slags will be presented. Factors relating to sample preparation, precision, and accuracy are given and analytical sensitivity and speed are covered.
