SAMPLE PREPARATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of preparing a sample in which the simple substance separation degree in the actual floatation process is reflected by correctly identifying ore particles even when coagulation occurs in the ore particles after the floatation treatment.SOLUTION: A sample preparation method is a method of preparing a sample for mineral analysis having granular ores and includes a binding material removal process for removing a binding material existing between ore particles after floatation and binding the ore particles to each other. It is preferable that the binding material removal process includes a binding material melting process of melting the binding material by using a solvent capable of melting the binding material, and it is also preferable that the binding material removal process includes a binding material melting facilitation process of facilitating melting of the binding material by applying an ultrasonic wave to the solvent including the sample.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
