Jens-Michael Bergmann was representing CommodasUltrasort at the conference “Physical Separation 2011” (June 23-24, 2011) organized by Minerals Engineering International (MEI). He was talking about sensor-based sorting – experience and opportunities at CommodasUltrasort. Over 50 delegates from all over the world were participating in this conference which took place in Falmouth, Cornwall (June 23-24, 2011).

His lecture covered different aspects of sensor based sorting of minerals and ores by optical inspection and other, more sophisticated inspection technologies, such as X-ray transmission (XRT), Near Infrared (NIR), Electromagnetic (EM) or Radiometric (RM).

Starting with the fundamentals of each technology he highlighted the latest developments, continuing with a detailed look on selected applications including examples of existing plants and the achieved qualities. Materials covered were Calcium Carbonates (optical), Talc (NIR), Nickel-ore (EM) and Coal (XRT).

He finally gave a short view on the economic side of these technologies to provide a global idea of the operation expenditures per ton.
