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.
Smelting and Furnance feed control
• Limestone, coke, anode quality control in sintering and furnace operations
• Accurate dosage and mixing of fluxes and additives to get the required raw feed chemistry into burning and smelting operation
Your Benefits
• Increased recovery of valuable minerals
• Improved quality of pellets and concentrate
• Reduced production costs in saving fluxes, reagents and energy
• Increased efficiency and stability of smelting and furnace operation
• Lower content of sulfur and unwanted impurities in the product
Technology Advantages
• High accuracy and low detection limit measurements of all elements of interest simultaneously.
• No regular re-calibration requirements and low operation cost
• Radiation Free, environment and people safe technology
