Versatility

The SO-XRF-A2 is able to handle both batch and slurry samples, making it the perfect choice for industry professionals who need reliable results no matter the sample type.

How SO-XRF-A2 works

Real-time monitoring of mined rock composition using XRF analysers is a crucial process in the copper ore industry. It provides accurate, up-to-date information on the composition of mined rock, which is used for ore deposit modelling, mining planning, and ore grade control.

In-field analysis: XRF analysers are used in the field to provide on-site analysis of ore samples. This allows for real-time decision-making and improves the efficiency of the mining process.

Instant results: The XRF analyser provides instant results, so miners can quickly adjust their mining plan based on the composition of the ore.

Accurate results: XRF analysers are highly accurate, providing precise measurements of the metal content and other elements in the ore sample.

Remote monitoring: Real-time monitoring can be done remotely, allowing mining companies to monitor multiple sites at once.

Data analysis: The data collected from the XRF analyser is analysed to create a real-time ore deposit model, which can be used to identify mineralisation trends and optimise mining processes.

Inline Analysis vs. Laboratory

Inline Analysis

Results in real time
No need to transport samples to the laboratory
No additional room required, the analyser works directly in the shop
Low weight and small dimensions of equipment
Ability to set any number of points, from 1 to infinity

Lab Analysis

Delayed analysis result. Until the result is obtained, approximately 1200–1800 tons of raw materials will be processed
Need to transport samples to the laboratory. A separate slurry pipeline will be required for a liquid product

Economic benefits

After implementation

5% to 8% increase in factory productivity.

An increase in the extraction of metals by 0.5–5.0%.

Reducing reagent consumption by 10-15%.

Decrease in the cost of final products.

Upon purchase

The price is twice lower than the cheapest analogue on the market.

Small dimensions and high operational characteristics allow installing the analyser in any point.

Any number of control points, from 1 to infinity.

No cost to build a sample delivery system.

How SO-XRF-A2 Implemented

1

Install the analyser in the process line, ensuring that it is properly connected to the necessary power and communication sources.

2

Perform a calibration of the analyser to ensure accuracy. This should be done using a sample of the ore that will be analysed.

3

Connect the analyser to a host computer for real-time data output and monitoring.

4

Set up the analyser to measure the desired parameters. This should include setting the desired measurement range and setting the desired frequency of measurements.

5

Set up the analyser to provide feedback to the process control system. This should include setting the desired parameters for the feedback, such as the desired response time and the desired action to take when certain parameters are exceeded.

6

Monitor the analyser to ensure that it is providing accurate and timely feedback.

7

Adjust the analyser as needed to ensure that it is providing accurate and timely feedback.

8

Utilise online XRF analysis to monitor and control the process.
