Real time analysis of drilling samples: support forRABTheRCOn site testing of drilling samples such as diamond cores does not require sending them to the sampling laboratory. In open-pit coal mines, analyzers are used to analyze the rock properties of coal seam roof and floorSiO₂Content testing, guiding the optimization of mining stripping layer thickness, saving over ten million yuan in stripping costs annually.

2. Intelligent control of mining production

Dynamic ore blending of storage heap: By fixing the analyzer with a vehicle mounted bracket, real-time scanning of the moving mining car is carried out, and the ore blending ratio is automatically adjusted. After the application of a certain copper mine, the fluctuation range of concentrate grade is from±3%Reduce to±0.5%Annual increase in metal recycling volume1200Ton.

Smelting process monitoring: detecting copper concentrate in front of the copper smelting furnaceAsTheSbAdjust the flux ratio dynamically based on impurity elements. A certain smelting plant has improved the qualification rate of anode copper through this function88%upgrade to97%.

3. Environmental and safety monitoring

In a certain industrial site restoration project, the analyzer2Complete within the week2000Point by point screening, faster than traditional methods20Twice.

Radiation safety warning: Integrated Geiger counter module, real-time monitoring of radioactive element content such as uranium and thorium. A uranium exploration team used this function to promptly detect areas with excessive radiation, avoiding personnel exposure risks.

3、 Application Value: From Efficiency Revolution to Industrial Upgrading

1. Exploration cost reconstruction

Single device can replace3-5The laboratory inspection work of a renowned geological engineer saves manpower and exceeds the cost of sample delivery annually50Ten thousand yuan. In a gold mining project in Africa, the analyzer changed the exploration cycle from3Annual compression to18Achieve investment return ahead of schedule within a month.

2. Rising resource utilization rate

Through precise ore sorting, a certain iron ore mine separates low-grade ores（TFe＜20%）The utilization rate from35%upgrade to68%Annual increase in recoverable reserves200Ten thousand tons. In the development of rare earth minerals, analyzers can quickly separate light rare earths such as lanthanum and cerium, improving the recovery rate of mineral processing15%.

3. Green Exploration Practice
