Biography

Lingli Zhou is a postdoc. researcher in the Geology department of Trinity College Dublin. Lingli graduated with one Ph.D degree from Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014, and another one from Aarhus University in 2015 before joining iCRAG to work with Prof. Balz Kamber. My current research is to develop mineral scale 3-D mapping of metal distribution in sulphide ores with laser ablation ICP-MS/ICP-OES. A particular focus of this project will be to develop software that will allow seamless stitching of elemental maps obtained by the MS technique with maps obtained by the OES technique. The project runs as part of the iCRAG SFI Research Centre, in the Raw Materials spoke, and the main objective is to develop analytical methods for quantifying the occurrence of precious metals and energy critical elements in a variety of Zn and Cu minerals.

The metals that are needed for society are most frequently found in ores. An ore is a type of rock that contains metals which can be extracted profitably. My research focuses on 2/3 dimensional mapping metal distribution in sulphide ores. This can be realized by using laser ablation which removes tiny particles from the surface of the ore for measurement by mass spectrometer. The element distribution maps acquired will help to locate and quantify the precious metals and energy critical elements in the ores.
