Course Objective

The aim of the course is to teach the basic principles of modern physical analysis methods (XRD, XRF, SEM, EDS, DTA, TGA, FTIR etc.) and to make appropriate applications for the use of these methods in different stages of ore dressing and ore beneficiation processes.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Describe the basic principles of modern physical analysis methods
2   Understand the physical principles of the formation of X-rays, their properties and their use in mineralogical and elemental analysis
3   Explain the structure and working principle of SEM and EDS and, its utilization in the mineral processing and ore beneficiation
4   To express the working principle of devices that analyze based on the thermal and Infrared properties of minerals and to interpret the results obtained from the devices
5   To determine appropriate physical analysis methods for the mineral processing and ore beneficiation process
6   Perform and report the applications of this course
