Hi Gungho,

some info


A General Layout of the RADOS XRF Ore Sorter
The RADOS XRF Ore Sorter analysis detection limits range between 0.05% to 0.1% for
most metals and increasing for lower atomic number elements. From repeatability tests on
the same particle standard deviations of 0.02 have been measured although this does
depend on the metal analysed and the metal content of each particle.
The RADOS XRF Ore Sorters have been used to sort and analyse:-
• Precious Metal Ores, e.g. gold and pgm ores;
• Base Metal Ores, e.g. copper, nickel, lead and zinc ores;
• Ferrous Metal Ores, e.g. iron, manganese and chrome ores;
• Industrial Minerals, e.g. uranium, wollastonite, tungsten and tin, and;
• Rare Earth Metals. e.g. ytrium, lanthanum, cerium, and neodymium
