TESCAN TIMA is a leading solution for automated mineralogy – a specific form of texture-centric particle analysis, designed for rapid EDS data and image collection, focused on phase analysis. Suitable for both particle and bulk samples, its high throughput is enhanced by the capability to connect to four EDS detectors. A hallmark of TIMA's automated mineralogy prowess is its precision in identifying phases from subtle X-ray spectra by merging spectra from single phase grain. This results in a sum spectrum that's not only easier to recognize but also optimal for quantifying both major and low abundance elements. With the data and reports from TESCAN TIMA, battery recycling facilities can optimize the efficiency of their processes the same way it is common in mineral processing plants.
With the data and reports from TESCAN TIMA, battery researchers can determine...With its state-of-the-art software, TESCAN TIMA delivers insights like modal representation and grain/particle size, and the liberation degree linked to the amenability to processing. It excels in identifying and quantifying how elements are distributed among various phases – termed elemental deportment. This capability is crucial for refining ore processing plants, offering insights into possible causes of elemental losses.
