This study develops QEMSCAN technology to rapidly acquire spatially resolved mineralogical data from non-sulphide zinc ores from Accha (Peru) and Skorpion (Namibia). The resulting modal and textural data provides significant additional information on the distribution of the ore minerals including detail on the trace minerals, grain size distributions, and mineral associations. The data were verified by XRD to assess clays and compositionally similar mineral polymorphs and EPMA to accurately establish mineral compositions.

Abstract
This study develops QEMSCAN technology to rapidly acquire spatially resolved mineralogical data from non-sulphide zinc ores from Accha (Peru) and Skorpion (Namibia). The resulting modal and textural data provides significant additional information on the distribution of the ore minerals including detail on the trace minerals, grain size distributions, and mineral associations. The data were verified by XRD to assess clays and compositionally similar mineral polymorphs and EPMA to accurately establish mineral compositions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
