Application of Photoelectric Ore Separation Technology in Low-Grade Ore Resource Processing
Jun 29, 2024Photoelectric ore sorting technology is an emerging ore processing technology that uses optical property differences to sort ore, and is particularly suitable for the effective processing of low-grade ore resources. This article will discuss in detail the latest progress of photoelectric ore sorting technology and its application in the processing of low-grade ore resources.
Photoelectric ore sorting technology is mainly based on the differences in the optical properties of minerals, such as color, gloss, transparency, etc., through the illumination of a light source of a specific wavelength, and with the help of high-precision photoelectric sensors to identify and separate different minerals. This technology has the advantages of fast sorting speed, no need to add chemical reagents, and green environmental protection, and is especially suitable for the purification of low-grade ores.
Low-grade ores usually refer to those ores whose grades are not enough for direct use, and their grades need to be improved through mineral processing or other treatment methods. Photoelectric ore sorting technology can improve the feed grade before the ore is crushed or ground, thereby reducing the cost of mineral processing and the load of equipment.
High efficiency: Photoelectric sorting technology can quickly remove a large amount of useless gangue, reduce the pressure of subsequent mineral processing links, and improve sorting efficiency.
Low cost: Compared with traditional physical mineral processing and chemical mineral processing, the power consumption cost of photoelectric mineral processing is about 1 yuan/ton, which is much lower than traditional methods.
Green and environmental protection: Photoelectric ore dressing has zero pollution to the environment and is a greener ore dressing method. 10
Technological progress: With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the intelligence level of photoelectric sorting equipment has been continuously improved, and it can handle more types of ores.

The future development of photoelectric ore sorting technology will focus on improving sorting accuracy and reliability, reducing costs, improving cost performance, and adapting to the sorting needs of more types and more complex ore structures. At the same time, photoelectric sorting technology will also be combined with other ore dressing technologies to form a more complete ore processing solution.
Photoelectric ore sorting technology has shown great potential in the processing of low-grade ore resources, which can effectively improve resource utilization, reduce ore dressing costs, and is beneficial to environmental protection. With the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, photoelectric ore sorting technology will play an increasingly important role in the mining field.
