Abstract:
A method for direct determination of Cu, Pb, Zn, S, Mg and As in copper sulphide concentrates by Axios PW4400 wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer using lithium metaboratelithium tetraborate fusion sample preparation method has been developed. Some parameters affecting the sample preparation such as flux, glassing reagent and preoxidation condition were studied. The matrix effect was corrected by combination of the theoretical alpha coefficients and experienced coefficients. The precision of the method is better than 3.0%RSD(n=12).
