X-ray transmission sorters for diamond recovery
X-ray transmission (XRT) sorters are sophisticated radiometric sorting machines utilized in the treatment of selected ore types, particularly those containing valuable minerals such as diamonds and other gemstones. These sorters operate based on the principle of differential absorption of X-rays by various materials.
The principle of operation of X-ray transmission sorters is based on the property of the materials to absorb X-ray radiation. A diamond consisting of carbon, which is a light element with atomic number 6, absorbs less X-ray radiation comparing to the ancillary minerals, which contain heavier elements such as silicon, calcium, magnesium, and iron, etc.
In case of X-ray transmission sorters X-ray radiation is being measured by special sensors after it passes through the particle of mineral. Depending on the intensity of the radiation passed through the particle of mineral, we can make the conclusion about atomic number of elements contained in the analyzed mineral.
Overall, X-ray transmission sorters are powerful tools in the mining industry, enabling operators to efficiently extract valuable minerals from ore while minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.
