Resumen

Electronic ore sorters were first introduced to the minerals processing industry in the late 1940s. Since that time, faster microprocessors, improved sensors, and lower equipment costs have allowed this unique technology to evolve and become commercially attractive for a variety of applications. Recent test programs conducted on mobile sorter units indicate the ability to achieve excellent separation performances when treating run-of-mine (ROM) coal coarser than 12 mm. Techno-economic analyses have revealed that the upgrading of coarse ROM coal and the removal of rock prior to transportation are applications where significant economic benefits could be realized. This paper describes the working features of x-ray transmission sorting technologies and provides technical and economic data from recent test programs.
