Mineral Characterization for Optimum Sensor-Based Sorting

Installations of both bulk and particle sensor-based sorting (SBS) in the mining industry have increased significantly recently. However, SBS still lacks industry recognition as a pre-concentration technology. In addition to mineralogical characterization, different sensors and their performance parameters are key to understanding orebody heterogeneity characteristics exploited by SBS. Current SBS testwork is often hit-or-miss—or worse, amenability is assessed only by desktop study using default parameters from “similar ores.” This gap in standardized methodology for SBS characterization is often linked to its unsuccessful or sub-optimum adoption of the technology. In this webinar on sensor-based sorting, experts from SRC and Unearthed Consulting will cover the mineral and sensor characterization required for successfully adopting sensor-based sorting. You’ll learn about sensor-based technologies and their mineral applications, such as XRT, laser, infrared, induction and colour sorters.
