 Aluminium can be extracted from any mineral rich in Alumina, but bauxite is the only aluminium ore. The key elements in bauxite of relevance to both the producer as well as the end user are Al, Si, Fe, Ti, Na.
The amount of Aluminium able to be extracted from the bauxite ore is heavily dependant upon the silicates and hydroxides present, so process control solutions which monitor silicate and hydroxide content can provide significant commercial benefit.
The GEOSCAN elemental analyser utilises PGNAA technology to determine the composition of conveyed bauxite in real time. Applications include monitoring, blending, stockpile management and loadout control.
A TBM moisture analyser can be utilised to ensure accurate determination of dry tonnages for metal accounting, dust mamagement and loadout moisture level monitoring.
Scantech provides such solutions. Considerable savings can be made to operating costs and a higher grade and more consistent product can be delivered.
