Iron Ore
Compact, Accurate, and Low-Maintenance.
What is SO-XRF-A2
The SO-XRF-A2 inline batch / slurry analyser is a game-changing tool for professionals in the iron ore industry. It provides fast and accurate analysis of materials, enabling real-time monitoring of the composition of the mined rock. Here are some of the key features of SO-XRF-A2 that make it an essential tool for iron ore industry professionals
Speed of obtaining results
SO-XRF-A2 provides accurate results in real-time, allowing for quick decision-making and process optimization. This reduces the risk of errors and saves time, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency.
Real-time monitoring of composition of the mined rock
With SO-XRF-A2, industry professionals can monitor the composition of the mined rock in real-time. This enables better quality control and ensures that production processes are optimised for the specific materials being mined.
Installation directly into the conveyor belt
SO-XRF-A2 can be installed directly into the conveyor belt, making it a seamless part of the production process. This reduces the need for additional resources and streamlines the workflow.
Ability to work with both batch and slurry
SO-XRF-A2 is versatile and can work with both batch and slurry samples. This makes it a valuable tool for businesses that require different types of analysis for their production processes.
How SO-XRF-A2 works
The SO-XRF-A2 inline batch / slurry analyser is a powerful tool that helps iron ore industry professionals measure mineralogy and ultra-low elemental composition in slurry form.
The analyser uses X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology to shoot high-energy radiation at a sample, exciting the atoms and causing them to emit X-ray fluorescence radiation.
These fluorescent x-rays enter a detector and send electronic pulses to a preamp, which amplifies the signals and sends them to a Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
The DSP collects and digitises the x-ray events and sends the spectral data to the main CPU for processing.
The analyser is capable of measuring both mineralogy and ultra-low elemental composition directly on a process-stream, without the need for labour-intensive, time-consuming and potentially error-prone sampling.
It includes a combination of improved matrix material corrections and particle size corrections so that it can be used for a variety of applications without the need for regular re-calibration.
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%.
