dc.description.abstractMicrowave measurement techniques have found many industrial and commercial applications. This measurement potential of microwaves, together with observations that different minerals show different microwave heating characteristics, suggests the possibility of applying microwave techniques to various forms of mineral analysis. Simple, low cost, on-line mineral analysis techniques are of interest to the mining industry. The objectives of this research project were to cover the background theory of microwave interaction with minerals and to investigate different microwave measurement techniques that could possibly be applied to mineral measurement. Measurements were then to be performed on selected minerals in order to observe any differences between them. Finally, to comment on the feasibility of using microwave measurement techniques for the differentiation, identification and analysis of minerals.en_ZA
