Identifying beryl within muscovite host rocks is a challenging task for traditional X-ray transmission (XRT) separation due to the proximity of their effective atomic numbers (Zeff) and densities. In this paper, an improved dual-energy X-ray transmis...
In hard rock mining, sensor-based sorting can be applied as a pre-concentration method before the material enters the mill. X-ray transmission sensors have been explored in mining since 1972. Sorting ore of acceptable grade and waste material before...
This study evaluates sensor-based pre-concentration using XRT technology as an alternative to selective mining for low-grade European copper ores (0.48% Cu), addressing the need for sustainable beneficiation amid declining ore grades and environmenta...
The progressive depletion of high-grade ore bodies has shifted attention toward the exploitation of lower-grade deposits as viable sources of value. In recent years, there has been growing emphasis on mining and processing methods that incorporate su...
Dual and multi energy X-ray transmission imaging (DE-/ME-XRT) are powerful tools to acquire quantitative material characteristics of diverse samples without destruction. As those X-ray imaging techniques are based on the projection onto the imaging p...
X-ray transmission (XRT) and computed tomography (CT) was used on five samples from the Niaz porphyry Cu–Mo deposit in Iran, representing different alteration zones. Analysis of three-dimensional CT data revealed structural information and grou...
Even outside of the instance of a global pandemic, the proper cleaning of professional work wear is crucial—thus, laundry technology becomes more and more efficient and automated. A bottleneck in the professional laundry process of working garm...
The quest for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is at the forefront of energy storage research, necessitating a profound understanding of intricate processes like phase transformations and thermal runaway events. This review paper explore...
The conventional attenuation-ratio feature R remains affected by particle thickness, material heterogeneity, and beam hardening in practical dual-energy X-ray transmission (DE-XRT) measurements. This study proposes an ore-sorting method based on mult...
The authors studied forty-three beautiful nose ornaments from the Moche tomb of the Lady of Cao, located in the north of Peru, which has been dated to be around 300–400 d.C. Of these items, thirty-nine are composed of a sheet of gold alloy join...
Firefighters, paramedics, nursing staff, and other occupational groups are in constant need of fast and proper cleaning of their professional workwear, not only during a pandemic. Thus, laundry technology needs to become more efficient and automated....
With their wide application in industrial fields, the denoising and/or filtering of line-scan images is becoming more important, which also affects the quality of their subsequent recognition or classification. Based on the application of single sour...
As an important part of pretreatment before recycling, sorting has a great impact on the quality, efficiency, cost and difficulty of recycling. In this paper, dual-energy X-ray transmission (DE-XRT) combined with variable gas-ejection is used to impr...
Sensor-based ore sorting can discard barren rock before grinding, but dual-energy X-ray transmission (DE-XRT) grade models are often judged by block-wise error that poorly reflects concentrate and tailings mass balance at the plant cut-off. Process-a...
