Two atomic absorption spectrometers provide the ability to analyze metals of interest in solution. Quantitative volumetric methods are employed for analyses of free acid, lime, ferrous iron, and cyanide in solution. The ability to rapidly analyze elements in solution is imperative for the operation of certain tests for which operating parameters are adjusted according to solution assays, for example, running a solvent extraction circuit. All solid assays are conducted by outside laboratories.
Clients frequently request that solid assays be certified by a registered assayer.
