Elemental analysis of nickel ore by PGNAA
摘要
Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis of nickel ore samples was carried out using a DT portable pulsed neutron generator and a Ø 7.6 × 7.6 cm LaBr3 detector. Rock powders of nickel ore were analyzed and elements Fe, Si, S, Ni were determined by using calibration curves from standard samples. The minimum detection concentrations of Fe, Si, Ni and S determined from ore samples were 0.87, 1.50, 0.04 and 1.05 wt% respectively.
