Measuring the degree of contamination of samples during grinding

A presentation given at the Australian X-Ray Analytical Association conference in Fremantle held 14-18 February 2005. Geoscience Australia recently conducted a series of tests on ring mills commonly used for sample preparation of geological materials. Ring mills of five different compositions (tungsten carbide, chrome steel, carbon steel, partially-stabilised zirconia and syalon) were tested to determine qualitative and quantitative contamination imparted to samples ground in them.
