A fast determination of Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio in industrial minerals
Three-channels data collecting method for the determination of F3+/Fe2+ ratio in industrial iron-bearing minerals is proposed using Mossbauer effect spectroscopy. The method has been proved faster (less than five minutes) than the conventional collection of full Mossbauer spectra. Natural Ilmenite, Chromite and Stilpnomelane minerals can be used. The later is used to illustrate the method.
