Comparative analysis - VS XRF for cassiterite grade evaluation Department:Mineral and Petroleum Resources Engineering By: mjsquare Project ID: 8080 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦3000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThis research focuses on the comparative analysis of two techniques—Burreting and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)—for cassiterite grade evaluation. Cassiterite, the principal ore of tin (Sn), holds industrial significance due to its applications in electronics, soldering, and food packaging. Accurate determination of cassiterite grade is essential for effective exploration and mining operations. Traditional methods such as burretting, though reliable, are time-consuming, hazardous, and impractical in remote field settings. In contrast, XRF offers a rapid, non-destructive alternative that provides real-time elemental analysis with minimal sample preparation. The study evaluates both methods in terms of accuracy, precision, analysis time, and field applicability. By analyzing samples using both techniques, the research reveals that while burretting offers some insights, it falls short in delivering the quantitative accuracy and operational efficiency of XRF. XRF emerges as a more practical and reliable tool for field-based cassiterite evaluation, offering substantial time savings and safety benefits, thus contributing to more efficient and sustainable mineral exploration practices....Preview Download Preview +Other Mineral and Petroleum Resources Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Estimating some mechanical properties of rock from in-situ rebound values»Fuel assessment of coal as an industrial mineral - a case study of Egbute camp coal, Okeluse, Ondo State»Purification of silica sand by acid leaching for glass production sand deposit along river flood plain (case study of Chalanazawan Plan Jos south, Plateau state)»Design and construction of a laboratory rock cutting machine for lapidary using locally sourced materials»Comparative analysis - VS XRF for cassiterite grade evaluation
