This webinar shows a robust fusion method to prepare ferrochromium (FeCr) samples by borate fusion. It also shows a precise XRF method to determine Cr as major element as well as other low concentration elements required in international standard norms.
Speakers
Mathieu Bouchard - Expertise Leader - Malvern Panalytical
Mathieu obtained his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Université Laval in 2001. He completed his master’s degree in analytical chemistry in 2004. His master’s thesis was about the analysis of alpha emitters in effluents of nuclear power plants. Mr. Bouchard has been working for Claisse since 2007. He is chairman of the Canadian subcommittee of ISO/TC 102/SC 2 for
iron ores analysis since 2016.
