Study of the particle size distribution and related properties of formation units with prospects for critical and strategic mineral raw materials and other different types of geological formations to solve fundamental and applied problems of geology, lithology, mineralogy, engineering geology, materials science, etc.
Profound modernisation of the particle size analysis system (analysis of particle size and shape distributions) by purchasing a Horiba LA-960 particle size analyser. The requested laser particle size analyser, in addition to other new features, is characterised by a wider measurement range (0.01-3000 µm) compared to the Mastersizer-2000 sedimentograph currently installed in the laboratory. Thus, it will significantly expand the possibilities for measuring structural features / particle size distribution of various types of geological formations and other substances and materials.
65.50 thousands of euros
Analysis of the composition of both solid and liquid samples (range of elements from Na to U), effectively expanding the Centre's functionality
Profound modernisation of the particle size distribution analysis system by purchasing a benchtop X-ray fluorescence analyser (XRF) for general elemental analysis. The device is compact and can be used in the field, has a low cost compared to similar devices, the range of elements from Na to U is extended compared to analogues
