Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit, students will have- Evaluated data to determine accuracy and precision. Identified the major step in the fire assay. Identified the components of major analytical instruments including spectrometers, x-ray defractometers and the scanning electron microscopes. Selected the appropriate analytical techniques for mineral analysis and through theoretical knowledge transpose raw data into an analytical report. |
