Use of Portable XRF (PXRF) in Coltan Exploration

This paper discusses the factory calibration of portable XRF (PXRF) in Coltan exploration to determine if it is accurate and reliable, or if user calibration required.

XRF Analysis of Ta-Nb (Coltan), Sn, and W

Geologically, Ta, Nb, and Sn are found in late-stage magmatic formations, such as pegmatites and high-temperature veins. Minerals like tantalite ((FeMn)Ta2O6), columbite ((FeMn)Nb2O6), and cassiterite (SnO2) are common sources of these elements. Tantalite is frequently found alongside columbite, forming a mineral mi…

Data Evaluation for Cassiterite and Coltan Finger

Two data evaluation approaches named "Kolmogorov–Smirnov distance (KS-D) approach" and "areas ratio approach" are applied to coltan and cassiterite and result in very low rates of false negative results, which is desired for AFP.
