IMPROVEMENTS IN/RELATING TO MONITORING PYROGENIC PROCESSES

摘要

Pyrogenic processes in which gas or fume is evolved are monitored by impinging a beam of X-rays (3) on the gas or fume in an exit-duct. The radiation produced by the X-ray fluorescence is detected and analysed for the contribution of various elements. In this way the progress of the metallurgical process can be monitored and the information used for process control.
