主 题：Cassiterite Mineral phase ore characterization
摘 要：The morphology and elemental characteristics of Kuru Cassiterite ore deposit was performed by the combination of different instruments. This is vital to obtain accurate mineralogical, surface properties and compositions of the ore. Mineral particles were prepared on epoxy resin, polished and analyzed by a SEM coupled with an EDS. X- ray diffraction showed that the ore contained different minerals of cassiterite, coffinite, siderophyllite,ilmenite, qartz, rutile, manganocolumbite, zircon, tilleyite and monazite. Further quantitative analysis using inductive coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry gave the elemental analysis as follows;Sn (28.0%), Si (5.5%), Fe (5.16%),Ti (3.51%), Al (2.48%), Y (1.06%), and Nb (2.53%). The other trace elements found include Mn, K, Na, Mg, La, Ce, U and Ca. The ICP-OES data was correlated with the XRD data obtained using the Guassian Pro 8.1 origin software and it showed significant correlation.
