Spanish term

envolvente

Spanish to English Science Mining & Minerals / Gems Geochemistry
"Es importante destacar que buena parte de los errores reportados corresponden a muestras con contenidos metálicos bajos, cercanos al límite inferior de detección analítico, especialmente en los casos del Cu, Pb y Zn. En los modelos determinísticos generados para Au, Cu, Pb y Zn, hemos utilizado como “cut off” de las ***envolventes*** los siguientes valores: XXg/t Au, XX% Cu, XX% Zn y XX% Pb. Si aplicamos estos límites en las gráficas de Max-Min, encontramos que, salvo en el caso del Au, en el resto de los elementos considerados Cu, Pb, Zn, una buena parte de los errores están localizados por debajo de los “cut offs” indicados."

Peer comment(s):

agree Maria-Ines Arratia : In this case, I believe it relates to metals and minerals "enveloped" in the extracted materials

Thanks Maria-Ines. You could well be right - I was reading it as relating to the models, rather than the metals.
Something went wrong...
