The Laboratory of Non-Ferrous and Ferrous Metals at the K.I. Satpaev Institute of Geological Sciences
The Laboratory of Non-Ferrous and Ferrous Metals at the K.I. Satpaev Institute of Geological Sciences specializes in comprehensive research aimed at studying the chemical composition of rocks and ores, as well as the petrographic and mineralogical composition of rocks and ores. The main goal of the laboratory is to provide high-quality analytical services for the evaluation and development of non-ferrous and ferrous metal deposits, contributing to the development of Kazakhstan's mining industry. Key areas of activity:
Chemical analysis:Determining the content of various elements in rocks and ores, including non-ferrous and ferrous metals, using modern analytical methods.
Petrographic and mineral analysis:Studying the mineralogical composition of rocks and ores to identify their structure and properties.
Lithological and petrophysical studies: Analyzing the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, including their permeability, porosity, and strength.
Paleontological and biostratigraphic studies:Studying sedimentary deposits to determine their age and formation conditions.
Analysis of the physical and mechanical properties of soils:Assessing soil characteristics for use in construction and other industries.
Identification of substances and materials:Identifying various substances and materials, issuing quality passports and test protocols.
Research methods: The laboratory applies a wide range of modern analytical methods, including:
Concentrates of precious, non-ferrous, ferrous, and rare metals
Technological industrial products, tailings, etc.
Rocks
Non-ferrous metals and their alloys, scrap and waste from non-ferrous metals
Steel, cast iron, scrap and waste from ferrous metals
Ferroalloys
Soils
Crushed stone, construction sand
Portland cement, refractory materials, and products
Collaboration and services:The laboratory actively collaborates with various scientific and industrial organizations, providing analysis and material research services, as well as participating in interlaboratory experiments for certification analysis of standard substance samples. The activity of the Laboratory of Non-Ferrous and Ferrous Metals plays a key role in the scientific work of the K.I. Satpaev Institute of Geological Sciences, contributing to the development of geological research and the efficient use of the country's mineral resources.
