Are you aware spodumene can be identified with an XRD?
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) XRD is a staple tool for phase identification in geology and materials science. It is commonly used to determine the modal composition of crystalline materials. In mining operations, the knowledge of which mineral your target element is present in is crucial to its efficient and successful extraction as different minerals behave differently in minerals processing plants. In the case of lithium, it could be present in minerals such as spodumene, petalite, lepidolite, amblygonite and zinnwaldite. While
BTW, CBrad, you're probably new to this game. The last time I posted what a GPP director said, I was promptly censured. So how about you call management and post you findings.
