Spectrometric Analysis

Analytical Platinum Supplies (APS) is a manufacturer and supplier of quality platinum products for the fusion process

Fusion is used in a wide variety of industries:

  • The glass and ceramics industry
  • The steel industry, analysing iron ores, blast furnace slags and even magnesites
  • Bauxite/alumina
  • Base metal (Ph, Zn, Cu, Ni) for the analysis of sulphides concentrates, silicate slags, mattes, sinters, etc.
  • The mineral sands industry
  • The cement industry, analysing sand, limestone, kiln feed, clinker, milled meal, etc.
  • University’s and research organisations.

APS manufactures a range of products for automatic fusion equipment: Phoenix, Leco, Perl-X, Claisse, Herzog, etc.

Non standard or special items can be manufactured on request. Ongoing developments in analytical processes results in constant changes to laboratory equipment.

Spectrometric analysis has become a valued tool in the modern laboratory.
Fusion is used to prepare a wide range of samples for analysis by x-ray fluorescence, atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry and a variety of classical chemical techniques.

Some of the sample types include oxides, sulphides and aluminosilicates. These comprise many of the ores and concentrates in the mining and metallurgy industry. Samples are dissolved and mixed into a lithium borate flux at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1250°C. (Typical fusion temperature in automatic machines is 1050°C). The molten sample is poured into pre-heated moulds then cooled.

Precise control of cooling is essential to produce flat beads and to avoid cracking or crystallisation.
