Abstract
For application of dual energy gamma-ray transmission techniques to practical mineral grade analysis, some problems including selection of gamma-ray energies, influence of sample thickness and main causes of errors in measurement have been examined.The relationships between the R-values (the ratio of mass attenuation coefficients for low and high energy gamma-rays) and the effective atomic numbers for various samples (e.g., iron ore, coal and coke, limestone, minerals and gem stones) were determined using different energy combina-tions of gamma-rays from 152Eu. On the basis of the experimental results, the optimum conditions for analysis of minerals were discussed.
