X-Ray Previous HitDiffractionNext Hit Analysis of Heavy Minerals

W. A. Pryor, N. C. Hester (2)

ABSTRACT

Techniques have been developed which yield reproducible results for X-ray Previous HitdiffractionNext Hit analysis of heavy mineral samples. Uniformity of grinding, orientation of mounted mineral particles, mass absorption fluorescence, and textural character of heavy mineral grains are the important, influential variables whose effects on X-ray Previous HitdiffractionNext Hit analysis of heavy minerals have been determined and minimized. Heavy mineral samples can be grouped according to their gross Previous HitdiffractionNext Hit patterns or Previous HitdiffractionNext Hit "finger prints," which correspond to petrographic groups. X-ray Previous HitdiffractionNext Hit analysis can be used as a routine, rapid, and supplementary method for analyzing large numbers of heavy mineral samples.
