Samples with possible mixed sulfide mineralogy present a challenge to ABA analysis since the acid generation potential may be influenced by minerals other than pyrite. A combination of methods are therefore employed to properly evaluate the possible presence of acid producing materials. Samples deemed to contain Siderite (FeC03) are subjected to peroxide oxidation treatment prior to back titration. The resulting ferric ion solution when filtered, upon titration, provides a more accurate account of the samples’ neutralization potential. Report will include all sulfur forms together with Acid Neutralization Potential (ANP), Acid Generation Potential (AGP), Net Neutralization Potential (NNP), and ANP/AGP ratio as required by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. Unit of measurement is ….TONS CaC03 EQUIV/ 1000 TON OF MATERIAL If you would like to find out more about the Sobek Method or other technologies and services provided by American Assay Labs, please contact us and we’ll be glad to assist you with your goals. « contact » contact_support CONTACT Key Technologies Atomic Emission (ICP-AES) Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Carbon/Sulfur Analysis Direct Mercury Analysis Popular Services Fire Assay ICP Analysis Scanning Electron Microscope More Information Lab History Lab Feedback Lab Careers Privacy Policy Terms & Conditions Copyright 1991-2021 American Assay Labs - All rights reserved.
