AI Technical Summary
Existing particle size measurement methods suffer from density effect bias, sampling representativeness problems, and limitations in image analysis when dealing with complex samples with multiple mineral components, uneven density, and irregular shape. This results in large measurement errors and makes it difficult to achieve high-precision and repeatable particle size distribution measurement.
The mineral composition and theoretical density are obtained through automated mineralogical analysis, and a specific gravity liquid is prepared for pre-separation. The optimal sampling amount is calculated by combining the principle of equivalent projected area. Particle size is measured using a laser particle size analyzer and integrated according to yield weighting to achieve high-precision and repeatable particle size distribution measurement.
It effectively eliminates density effect bias and sampling representativeness issues, improves the accuracy and representativeness of particle size measurement of complex mineral products, has strong adaptability, high degree of method standardization, and good inter-laboratory comparability and repeatability.
