Did you know that just one 500-meter metal-rich asteroid could contain the equivalent of all the platinum-group metals mined on Earth so far? The potential for mining on Mars and other celestial bodies is huge. And this potential is reflected…READ MORE >

In the previous blog about mineralogical monitoring for the aluminum industry, we discussed the added value of accurate on-line and at-line mineralogical monitoring for bauxite ore. The advantages of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) that provide information about the mineralogical composition…READ MORE >

In this webinar series we demonstrate the value of on-line monitoring of particle size, elemental and mineralogical composition and moisture, either directly in the mine or close to process equipment.

Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum worldwide. Without Bauxite, we could not cover up our leftover food with tin foil, have ladders to climb on or be able to cool our food in a refrigerator or cool our houses…READ MORE >

Increasing demand for effective energy storage used in personal devices, electrical cars, renewable energy storage facilities, boosted the global demand for lithium.   Lithium-ion batteries are not the only industrial use of lithium (e.g. catalysts, lubricants, heat-resistant glass and ceramics, alloys for aerospace), but…READ MORE >

In the following case study, we discuss the added value of X-Ray Diffraction forprocess control at a sinter plant.

Before I start, this blog is NOT about how to be a great virtual grandparent since, in many European languages, OMA means grandmother. OMA stands for Ore and Minerals Analysis. Under this name, over the last five years, we have…READ MORE >

In the following case study, we discuss the added value of XRD for the mineralogical analysis of lateritic iron ore.

Ore and Minerals Analysis online events in 2020 The ever-popular series of Ore and Minerals Analysis (OMA) workshops are going online this year! Dr. Uwe König, Global Mining Segment Manager at Malvern Panalytical, explains what you can expect from these…READ MORE >
