1. Technology of XRT Intelligent Ore Separation
X-ray transmission technology enables materials to be recognized and separated
based on their specific atomic density. This technology makes it possible to obtain a
high purity level in separation ores irrespective of size, moisture or surface pollution
level. It is used particulary for small particles and less conductive non-librated metal
recovery.

2. Benefits of XRT XRT Intelligent Ore Separation

 Make the best processing of low-grade mines and extend the service life of
mines
 Recover valuable metals from waste and tailing dump
 Separate low grade ore and waste rock in advance to reduce the subsequent
grinding cost
 Reduce transportation cost
 Benificate the grade of raw ore and increase the available resources
 The separated waste rock recycling
 Extend the service life of tailings dump
 Energy conservation and environment protection

3. The Working Principle of XRT Intelligent Separator

 The working principle of XRT intelligent separator is shown in the figure above. X-ray
is used to scan the raw ore, data is collected by the detector, ore and waste rock are
identified and distinguished by the intelligent algorithm, and waste rock is ejected by
the gas discharge gun.
Relying on the deep learning algorithm of Tsinghua research, massive ore data can be
used for self-learning and self-adaptation, which solves the problem that it is difficult
to control the grade of waste rock from machine separation when ore grade property
changes.

5. The Main Components and Core Components of XRT Intelligent Separator

5.1 Feeding system: The main function of the feeding system is to transport the ore,
allowing the ore to pass through the detection and separation area in a stable
monolayer at intervals to ensure the accuracy of detection and separation.
5.2 Detection system: collect the characteristic information of ore as the basis of ore
separation.
5.3 Signal processing system: high-speed processing of the characteristic information
obtained by the detection system, using artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze
ore images and data, and comparing the analysis results with preset thresholds to
complete the identification of the waste rocks of the ore and make decisions
whether it is necessary to spray to remove the target ore.
5.4 Separation execution system: Using high pressure air discharge gun as power,
the target ore can be sprayed out of the original route to achieve the purpose of
separation.

separator manufacturers, and a free full range of X-ray detectors with different
resolutions and different energy spectrum segments can be customized according
to the properties of the original ore to increase the recognition ability and
accuracy.
X-ray recognition algorithm: the core team has the advantage of in-depth
development of X-ray algorithm for more than ten years. The deep AI algorithm
has the function of self-learning and relies on the brain computing center of
Tsinghua University as the front-end technical support.
7.2 The radiation source is a self-shielded class III radiation device exempted by the
state, which is safe and reliable with low radiation dose.
