BS EN 15309 Multi Element Analysis of Mineral Ores Testing

The BS EN 15309 standard provides a robust framework for the multi-element analysis of mineral ores, ensuring accurate and reliable determination of trace elements. This service is crucial in various sectors such as mining and metallurgy where precise quantification of elements is essential. Compliance with this standard enhances quality control processes and ensures that products meet international standards.

Our laboratory employs state-of-the-art instrumentation to conduct these analyses, including ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) for accurate detection across a wide range of elements. The process involves meticulous sample preparation following strict protocols outlined in the standard, which includes digestion techniques to ensure uniformity and accuracy.

The analysis covers a broad spectrum of elements, from heavy metals like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and arsenic (As) down to rare earth elements such as cerium (Ce). This comprehensive approach allows for a thorough understanding of the ore's composition, which is vital for decision-making in mining operations. Understanding these trace elements helps in assessing potential environmental impacts, optimizing extraction processes, and ensuring product quality.

The results obtained from this analysis are critical for various applications within the mining sector. For instance, they can inform decisions regarding the use of specific ores in alloy production or the suitability of certain mineral deposits for particular industrial uses. Compliance with BS EN 15309 also ensures that our clients meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

Our laboratory's expertise in this area is recognized both nationally and internationally, making us a preferred choice for mining companies looking to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability in their ore analysis.
