Taconite
Taconite is an iron-rich sedimentary rock. Like talc, taconite deposits in the Minnesota mining range were commingled with amphibole asbestos minerals. EMSL Analytical, Inc. can analyze taconite samples for these minerals by using our analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) instrumentation.
