APPLICATIONS
Mining
Modern day society demands more natural resources, driven by rapid global development and the energy transition. These resources have to be mined in a more sustainable way both for the environment and for society. Spectral believes that it is possible to fulfill the demand for raw materials with a minimum impact on the environment.
To support this vision, we develop LIBS based sensors to allow for continuous monitoring of product streams. This allows for more accurate processing, better separation of ore and waste and more chemical insight during exploration.
The advantage of our LIBS sensors is that they can measure the full elemental composition of any type of material in real-time without sample preparation. This enables 24/7 monitoring of product streams. Also, the technique can be applied in the entire mining values chain, from exploration to processing, reducing the need for frequent sample collection and laboratory assaying.
