Question
Please let me know the accuracy limit of online analysis of Fe content in iron ore by XRF and other instrumentation methods vis-a-vis wet chemical analysis

Answer
As you know  well, In wet analysis always  there is scope of human errors more than other methods.
I think you  may better contact some XRF manufacturers and discuss  with them. They may give you guarantees for accuracy.Please  get  the addresses of XRF suppliers from the web   sites.


Actually your  question does not pertain to my area of expertise. I have production, process and project engineering  experience.I am not involved in laboratories now.  Though very long ago I did  a bit of engineering of a laboratory, I am not in touch with that area now. Sorry that I  am not able to satisfy you fully.
