  • Separation and analysis of particle coatings
    Patent number: 4136951
    Abstract: A method of separating chemical coatings from particles is disclosed which may be used in the aerial prospecting for minerals or the determination of the chemical constituents of a dried liquid coating.The coating is volatized and ionized by passing the particle and its coating into a plasma. Separation is achieved by passing the particle through and beyond the plasma. The coating constituents may be spectroscopically analyzed by passing the coating constituents directly into a second plasma and viewing the light emitted therefrom.
