A Digital Mineralogy & Materials Characterisation Hub for Petrology, Mineralogy, Exploration, Metallurgy and Reservoir Characterisation Research

岩石学、矿物学、勘探学、冶金学和储层表征研究的数字矿物学和材料表征中心：该项目将建立一个数字矿物学和材料表征中心，用于岩石学、地质冶金学、储层表征、环境科学、土壤科学、矿物加工和提取冶金研究。自动矿物分析仪器将补充矿物分离（selFrag HV脉冲破碎）和微量分析设备（SHRIMP/Cameca ion微探针和ELA-ICP-MS），这些设备可通过John de Laeter同位素研究中心提供给参与者。组成FEI QEMSCAN 650F模型的仪器和软件包是市场上最先进的配置，非常适合合作机构承担的高水平研究项目。

A digital mineralogy and materials characterisation hub for petrology, mineralogy, exploration, metallurgy and reservoir characterisation research: This project will establish a digital mineralogy and materials characterisation hub for applications in petrology, geometallurgy, reservoir characterisation, environmental science, soil science, mineral processing and extractive metallurgy research. An automated mineral analysis instrument would complement the mineral separation (selFrag HV pulse fragmentation) and microanalytical facilities (SHRIMP/Cameca ion microprobes and ELA-ICP-MS) available to the participants via the John de Laeter Centre for Isotope Research. The instrument and software package making up the FEI QEMSCAN 650F model is the most advanced configuration on the market, and ideally suited for the high level research projects undertaken by the partner institutions.
