Field characterization of white micas using the TerraSpec Halo

2 Apr 2020

In this application note, Malvern Panalytical demonstrates how the TerraSpec Halo can be utilized in the field to characterize white micas. These minerals act as indicators that can be used to map geochemical and geothermal gradients in geologic systems.

ASD TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res Mineral Spectrometer

Malvern Panalytical

Recognized as the de facto technology for mineralogical analysis, the rugged portable ASD TerraSpec mineral spectrometers are trusted by top geologists for performing fast, precise pathfinder mineral identification for identification of exploration targets. The ASD TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer brings new levels of efficacy to mineral exploration technology.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
