Geochemistry Testing and Analysis

eochemistry, as its name implies, is the science of studying the chemical composition and chemistry of the earth.The chemical element is called the "gene" of the earth1. The purpose of the geochemical survey is to provide a scientific basis for nature resource development and environment protection.It can effectively serve the development and management of mineral, land and groundwater resources. Alfa Chemistry laboratories have exquisite experimental technicians, advanced experimental equipment, establishedtesting methods, and sample preparation techniques. It can identify the quality, purity, and type of ore, which greatly reduces the time and cost of mining.In addition, we offer treatment and inspection of waste stones and tailings that may be harmful to the environment in the mining industry, ensuring zero pollution and emissions.With increasing concern about the adverse effects from hazardous substances, there is continued pressure from governmental agencies and non-profit organizations to reduce soil pollute discharge.

Alfa Chemistry can help youexplore mines and analyze minerals through chemical analysis.At the same time,if you need to comply with NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) requirements, we offer severaltest methods to best suit your required detection limit.

Geochemistry testing & analysis

We provide sample preparation and analytical procedures tailored to meet the needs of exploration geologists, miners, mineral processing engineers, and metallurgists. Minor region digestion with super trace ICP-MS analysis provides extremely low detection limits useful for regional and deep cover exploration. The rare earth elements and lead isotope concentrations add new dimensions to super trace data analysis. Trace metal analysis in ground and surface water can reveal mineralization-related anomalies in areas where traditional soil sampling is difficult or impossible, such as swampy terrain, desert, and agricultural disturbance. Our geochemical laboratories have standardized methods and sample preparation techniques to meet your needs.

Services for geochemical analysis including:

• Carbon and sulfur analysis

• Metal speciation studies

• MMI orientation surveys

• Mobile Metal Ion (MMITM) analysis

• Ultra trace and trace element analysis
