An Investigation of Bursa-Uludağ Wolfram Ore By NAA and EDXRF Methods

Abstract

In this study 4 wolfram ore samples obtained from Bursa-Uludağ wolfram deposit, together with concentrated scheelite sample , that was enriched in Scheelite mineral (CaWo), obtained from the ore samples were analysed for their majör and majör and minör constituents by radioisotepe excited energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and neutron activation analysis (NAA) techniques. The concentrations of Na, Mg, Al, Si,P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Co, Fe, Cu, Ni, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo, Ru, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Eu, Ag, Sb, Cs, Yb, Hf, Ta, W, Th, U elements have been determined.
