Abstract:
A method for simultaneous determination of major and minor components including MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, P, S, CaO, TiO2, V2O5, Mn and Fe in titanium concentrate samples by Xray fluorescence spectrometry was introduced. The calibration standards were prepared by mixing high pure titanium dioxide and iron ore standards. The flux selection, fusion conditions, positioning of V Kα line and matrix effects were also studied. The results from the standard sample analysis are in agreement with the certified values with the precision of less than 5% RSD (n=7) except P and S (at low content). This method fully satisfies the requirements of titanium concentrate analysis.
