8th International Congress on Science and Technology of Ironmaking - ICSTI 2018

During mining, beneficiation and processing stages in production it’s necessary to know chemistry of materials in real-time for optimal process control and improve final product quality. Using online information about chemistry it’s possible correct distribute iron ore and concentrate between stockpiles, optimal dosage fluxes and coke for stabilize sinter basicity before it is too late for a process, provide quality control of iron and steel. In report we will talk about laser elemental analyzers for detection in real-time of all necessary elements, including Fe, Si, Ca, Al, Mg, C without sampling directly in site - on a conveyor belt and in a slurry pipeline. This analyzer eliminates expensive laboratory analysis and some hours delay with potential human errors. This analyzer do not produce any ionized radiation and, thus, are fully safe; operate 24/7/365 in the automatic mode under heavy industrial environment many years in metals and fertilizers industries.
