The Thermo Scientific DSA-200 is a robust analyzer providing accurate elemental analysis of dry streams in mineral sands applications. Elements from Al and higher in the periodic table can be measured using the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique. We can design and provide materials handling systems for sampling and return. Correct sampling and analysis enables improvements in recovery, product quality and profitability.
Product Detail
Features and Benefits The DSA-200 measures and reports:
Up to 20 elements (Al and higher) simultaneously, with an update time of one minute
Modern detector and electronics design with digital signal processing, giving superior accuracies and improved remote diagnostics
Accurate calibration and check sampling is achieved as the sample taken corresponds exactly to the analysis period
Direct interface to any plant process control system (e.g., Modbus or OPC) from the central computer
Rapid detection of process disturbances
Fewer off specification production due to contaminants, such as zircon in rutile
ZrO2, Fe2, O3, TiO2, . Can also measure CaO, Cr2O3, MnO, SiO2, etc. (up to 8 elements)
