Growing product quality requirements and higher environmental standards force metal producers to look for new ways to optimize their production. Online analyzers bring the ability to control metallurgical parameters with no delays waiting on lab results.
Real-time chemical analysis of dry materials or slurry flow provides essential data to improve copper, iron, gold, nickel, zinc, and other metals recovery and achieve targeted product quality at all times.
Laser (LIBS) technology brings online measurement to a higher level of accuracy and reliability. With the system the advanced process control can be achieved in the following applications:
Targeted product chemistry with real-time process control in metal production
Ore Sorting and Stockpile Formation
The quality of crushed ore can be controlled based on the concentration of major and minor elements in the raw material. Impurities can be rejected at the early stage of the process.
Effective Separation and Concentration Process
Feed-forward control by monitoring incoming production quality and adjusting production parameters for optimal separation and concentration results
Floatation and Leaching Control
Flotation control to minimize reagents and water consumption.
Tailings and Harmful material control
Tailings and harmful/unwanted elements in the final product can be controlled to ensure environmental standards are met.
Benefits
• Higher recovery of metals
• Targeted and stable product quality
• Reduced production costs in saving fluxes, coke and energy
• Reduced manual labor in sample preparation
Technology Advantages
•High accuracy and stable analysis of all elements of interest and parameters such as moisture with one device with no additional sensors.
• No regular re-calibration requirements and Low maintenance cost
• Radiation Free, environment and people safe technology
