discovered 01.13 COLLABORATION WWW.Hzdr.DE Analytic equipment used to characterize raw materials at the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg: // Scanning electron microscope with MLA software // Field emission microprobe // Mass spectrometer femto laser ICPMS // Ion beam analytics/Ion beam microprobe // X-ray camera high-speed PIXE // X-ray powder diffractometer // Raman microscope // What kinds of recyclable materials are slumbering inside the old mine tailings found all throughout the Ore Mountains [Erzgebirge]? Trying to find the answer to this question is the focus of a research project coordinated by the HIF, the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology – one of the HZDR’s institutes. An ensemble of cutting-edge analytic equipment is available for the researchers. _Text . Anja Weigl Raw materials under the microscope RESEARCH WORK: Before geologist Inga Osbahr is able to examine materials obtained from tailings and packaged inside PVC pipes to determine their constituent parts using an electron beam, the sandy mixture must first be prepped.
