Introduction To Ore Sorting

Ore sorting refers to a physical sorting method that separates ore from waste rock by identifying the ore one by one and relying on external force according to the differences in physical properties reflected by the different relevant components in the ore. Ore sorting technology mainly consists of three steps: intelligent imaging, AI recognition and blowing separation.
Ore sorting methods
Physical sorting methods: including gravity sorting, magnetic sorting, electrical sorting, etc. Gravity sorting uses forces such as vibrating surfaces or liquid flows to separate particles according to specific gravity, which is suitable for the beneficiation of non-ferrous metals such as tin, lead, zinc, and copper; magnetic separation uses magnetic fields to separate magnetic minerals from non-magnetic minerals, and is often used for the sorting of iron-containing minerals.
Flotation method: using the difference in mineral surface properties, chemical agents are used to make minerals adsorb on the foam surface, and useful minerals are extracted from impurities. It is suitable for the selection of ground minerals and sulfur-containing metal minerals.
Other methods: including X-ray sorting, laser sorting, machine vision sorting technology, etc. These methods use modern scientific and technological means to improve the accuracy and efficiency of ore sorting.
