Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) plays a crucial role in nickel ore analysis by providing accurate and precise elemental composition data. WDXRF works by directing X-rays at a sample, causing elements to emit characteristic secondary (fluorescent) X-rays. In this work, we propose an analytical system based on PGNAA technique with a portable pulsed DT neutron generator and a time selection method for elemental analysis of nickel ore samples using two types of reactions: thermal neutron capture (TNC) and delayed gamma-rays counting. In addition to mineralogical analysis, accurate chemical analysis of nickel ores is crucial for optimizing production, ensuring. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) is a well-established analytical method to determine chemical composition in materials with high accuracy and minimum sample preparation; therefore, it is a preferred technique in both exploration and process and quality control across many industries –. This report describes the principal methodology for the analysis of nickel ores.
