Expertise on mineral fibers
The CTMP has an expertise in the processing and characterization of mineral fibers such as chrysotile
The CTMP is able to do the commercial fiber assay of a deposit directly from core sample. Testwork has also been performed to extract residual fibers from mine tailings
The following Standard tests are made available for mineral fiber study:
- Field Srenght Unit (FSU)
- Quebec Standard Test (QST)
- Ro-tap Size Analysis
- Bauer McNett Classification
- Washing test
- Wet Volume Test
- Surface Test
- Loose Density Test
- Freeness Test
- Crudeness Test
Following hereafter, are some examples projects done in mineral fibers technology:
- Fiber characterization tests performed for a number of asbestos producing mines and asbestos users throughout the world
- Fiber assay in core sample for a nickel sulfide deposit
- Fiber emission study when handling and cutting asbestos cement product
