AbstractX-ray fluorescence has a long tradition as an on-line analysis method in many kinds of industrial processes. It is capable of determining elemental concentrations in material flows even under severe and varying process conditions with an accuracy which is often sufficient for on-line control purposes. Many times the elemental concentrations correlate highly enough with those of the minerals of interest to give useful mineral analysis. In general, a rather well-defined geometry in the XRF measurement is necessary for accurate results, which may impose strict requirements on the sampling system.

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) has been successfully used for more than 20 years as an on-line analysis method for controlling various industrial processes where the concentrations of different elements must be known in the process streams. In many industrial processes, however, the knowledge of the concentrations of different minerals, rather than those of the elements, is of prime importance. Examples of such processes are numerous; plants concentrating apatite for fertilizer and detergent manufacturers, paper filler producers manufacturing kaoline, titanium dioxide (rutile) and talc, potash concentrators and different crystallization processes.

AbstractThe electron beam furnace is a nearly ideal tool to conduct on-line analysis of molten metal. In the process of melting the metal with a high intensity electron beam, x-rays are created. A wave-length dispersive x-ray spectrometer, specially designed for this environment, has been used to analyze the composition of the molten metal. This significantly reduces the time required to determine the concentration of critical elements in the melting process.

Issues concerning optimal powder diffraction at synchrotron sources for charge density studies will be discussed. These include beam qualities (energy, bandwidth, brillance, flux) as well as sample environmnet (vaccuum, capillary, temperature) and detector type (image plate, crystal analyzer). Simple on-line analysis in obtaining structure factors will be presented.

The efficiency of transmission electron microscopy investigations is drastically impaired by the time required for photographic plate development, measurements and interpretation. Very often, the operator has to go back to the microscope to complete his analysis. The evolution of the TEM, through the automation of an increasing number of operating parameters and the increasing use of small computers has led to a variety of performance improvements.The outline of the microscope facility that we developed is shown in Figure 1. The TEM/STEM EM400T PHILIPS microscope is linked simultaneously to the EDAX PDP devoted to X-ray microanalysis and to a DEC μPDP for diffraction analysis. This second computer, operating in a multitask RSX environment can be used for on-line and off-line analysis of patterns, microanalysis data and crystallographic calculations. The μPDP is coupled to the microscope via ADC/DAC converters and the Hybrid Diffraction STEM apparatus. The two computers are connected through a serial line for data transmission (i.e. spectra and chemical analysis). As a whole, this facility is integrated in a DEC ETHERNET network connected to a mainframe VAX computer. Several image workstations, are among the other nodes of the network.
