Application of Diffraction Laser Analysis to Monitor Granulation of Copper Ores Processing Products

Abstract

The laser diffraction was characterized in the paper as standard method of fine < 2 mm particles size measurement. Author made the review of newest solutions of industrial analyzers working in online mode in ores processing plants and available laboratory devices supporting technological process monitoring which should be used by quality control units. The possibilities of applying analyzers in technological system of copper ores processing as well the benefits occurring from change of previous measuring technique based on mechanical methods of particle size analysis by precise laser diffraction method were indicated.
