Graphical method of interpretation of secondary residual scattering halos of ore bodies
Abstract
Based on the theoretical analysis of the distribution of element concentrations in the residual scattering halos of vein-shaped ore bodies, R. I. Dubov proposed to interpret the halos using specially calculated and constructed in semi-logarithmic scale palettes of theoretical curves. Interpretation with the help of palettes, as it is known, consists in combining the practically obtained curve, constructed in the same scale, with one of the theoretically calculated curves. The disadvantage of the palette method of interpretation is the necessity of interpolation between neighboring curves on the palette. The similar nature of curves with different parameters can lead to ambiguity in the solution.
