Application Notes

Natural minerals are finite goods on Earth. Nonetheless, the demand of minerals for the construction industry, the manufacture of technical equipment, chemicals and much more is constantly increasing. Therefore, sensor-based sorting of resources is increasingly being used especially for industrial materials. Alongside X-ray , color- or LIBS-based sorting, this also includes hyperspectral-based sorting, also known as NIR-based spectrometry in the industry.

The purpose of these techniques is to enable the most sustainable and resource-efficient extraction of industrial minerals possible by maximizing …
