Environmental Compliance
Mining processes produce large volumes of waste, some of
it highly toxic. This waste can result in acid mine drainage
and groundwater contamination, and needs close monitoring to
ensure that it has been neutralized before being returned to
the earth.
Thermo Scientific NITON® analyzers effectively perform
"double-duty” when used to monitor elemental
contaminants at mine sites and in waste streams, in
addition to being used for exploration and mining
applications. NITON analyzers quantify a wide range of
elements – including sulfur, lead, and arsenic – the
elevated presence of which is an indicator of hazardous
waste material.
