Several minerals and ores have natural radiation as the result of low levels of Potassium, Uranium and Thorium. The ScanMin KUTScan analyser incorporates the latest in digital technology to measure the natural gamma ray radiation of these elements. Physical reactions of gamma rays are captured by a large scintillation detector located directly below a moving conveyor.
The target element is calculated by correlation to direct measurements of the natural radioactive signatures of Potassium, Uranium and Thorium. The technology is suitable for un-beneficiated Run of Mine applications where correlations between K, U & T and analytes of interests are stable. A moisture analyser can be added as an optional extra.
