1830.00 thousands of euros

Functional purpose of the equipment

SEM JSM-IT700HR application to establish morphological features at the micro and nanoscale; microanalysis system application to determine and interpret the chemical composition (macro- and microelements) of various geological formations, in particular, the 200 nm diameter zone, which will significantly exceed the capabilities of the existing equipment and expand the Centre's capabilities.

Motivation of the need for equipment

Application of the SEM JSM-IT700HR to establish morphological features at the micro and nanoscale; usage of the microanalysis system to determine and interpret the chemical composition (macro- and microelements) of various geological formations, in particular, the 200 nm diameter zone, which will significantly exceed the possibilities of the existing equipment and expand the Centre's possibilities.

Estimated cost

128.68 thousands of euros

Functional purpose of the equipment

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.

Motivation of the need for equipment

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.

Request ID: req.ps2cnx
Estimated cost

65.50 thousands of euros

Functional purpose of the equipment

Analysis of the composition of both solid and liquid samples (range of elements from Na to U), effectively expanding the Centre's functionality

Motivation of the need for equipment

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
