Online Elemental Analysis of Base and Precious Metals Ore

Lyncis LIBS online elemental analyzer is a radiation-free technology used for process optimization in achieving cost-effective metal production.

Base and precious metals processing is becoming more and more difficult with growing variations in the chemical composition of raw materials. This leads to a lower throughput of the mill and significantly increases mining and beneficiation cost. An advanced process control system based on real-time chemical composition data of raw materials can solve the problem, allowing to improve product quality, reduce the production cost, and achieve stable furnace and smelting operations.

 

We offer advanced:

Raw Ore and Concenttrate Quality Control

•   Real-time quality control of raw ore to reject off-grade material to minimize beneficiation process cost and improve the mill iron output.

•   Stockpile control based on ore grade.

•   Conveyor flow diversion to different beneficiation stages based on the concentrations of unwanted elements such as sulfur.

Advanced Beneficiation Process

•   Feed-forward or feed-back control by monitoring production quality and adjusting separation technology parameters to ensure the highest mineral recovery. Tailings are monitored to minimize the loss of valuable minerals.

•   Online chemical composition data drives beneficiation process decisions in real-time. The optimal dosage of flotation reagents minimizes production cost.
