NITON XRF Analyzers

Environmental Compliance

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.

  • Quantify RCRA and EPA priority pollutants in waste streams
  • Secure legally defensible data to prove financial, environmental, and social responsibility
