This is an article about how SEM and Raman have been combined to create a better tool for Geological and Mineral analysis.
Greenland is tapping into new sources of materials in remote locations that require shipping large-scale waste management facilities to cope.
Environmental waste management has often not been a priority for mining companies, but they are now seeking environmental protections for their sites.
This article shows how non-destructive, large representative volume, high-resolution analysis of samples can be employed to understand and characterize gold mineralization over representative volumes of drill core using X-ray microscopy (XRM).
A study on the scientific journal Precambrian Research was recently published by researcher Sebastian Fuchs from the GEOMAR–Helmholtz Centre of Ocean Research Kiel (Germany) and his coworkers.
Steel has been used in mining equipment for many years due to its unique properties. Steel can be augmented in order to meet the needs of the mining industry.

The development of a new plant turnaround is a major project that requires a significant financial investment, while also providing the potential for significant effects to occur to all involved parties.
A typical plant shutdown will occupy less than 5% of the working time, particularly in industries that demand continuous operation of their equipment.
