Abstract A rapid method for the quantitative analysis of the beryllium, boron and fluorine contents in concentration products, based on the use of the (α,n) reaction, is described. Po210 with an activity of 250 μ Cwas used as the α-radiation source. The number of neutrons in the concentration products knocked out by α-particles is recorded by a neutron counter and serves as a measure of the beryllium, boron, and fluorine content in the product analyzed. The method makes it possible to check the concentration products of beryllium, fluorite and boron ores, and also rich ores containing fluorine and boron, with an accuracy up to 1.5–2%. The content of the element checked can be determined in the presence of a constant amount of admixtures of other elements with a high(α,n) reaction yield.
