Iron: Laboratory and Inspection

Iron is a fascinating element with many properties. Several laboratory techniques are used to detect and quantify iron, whether in rock or water. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (described below) represents a precise and reliable strategy for iron ore analysis.

Iron, widely used in a variety of mining and industrial structures and equipment, can be exploited for its ferromagnetic properties to detect anomalies or failures. This article discusses this inspection and verification technique in greater detail.
