DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED IMAGING TECHNIQUES FOR REAL TIME PARTICLE SENSING IN MINERAL PROCESSING AND RECYCLING

With the ever increasing pressure for digitization and optimization of mineral processing operations, there is a growing need for real-time monitoring solutions providing informations about individual particles and their nature. This paper briefly reviews existing on-stream analytical techniques and stresses the need for “single particle sensing systems”. A series of technologies developed at ULiège, GeMMe, are presented together with a small case study.
