Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR)

Critical components of any ore processing automation strategy are the sensors that provide compositional, mineralogical, and ore property information that are essential for process optimization decisions. On-line over-the-conveyor sensors provide real-time information that is then available for feed-forward control of a…READ MORE >

In the following case study, we discuss the added value of XRD for the mineralogical analysis of lateritic iron ore.

In the blog about “The value of mineralogical monitoring” we discussed the importance of mineralogical monitoring for efficient ore beneficiation on the examples of copper and nickel ores. This blog elaborates on the nickel ore application in more detail. Nickel…READ MORE >

Most people using satellite or aerial imagery understand the importance of geometric calibration; you need to tie the pixels in the imagery to the corresponding coordinate locations on the earth so that you can use the imagery in mapping applications,…READ MORE >

We are often asked questions like, “how do I measure my product using ASD near-infrared (NIR)?” Of course, my standard answer is, “it depends.” Since so much depends on the assumptions and conditions, I thought it would be useful to…READ MORE >
