Ore refers to an aggregate of minerals from which useful components can be extracted, or which possess inherent properties that can be utilized. Minerals are diverse, and based on the industrial properties of the useful minerals in the ore, they can be divided into metal ores (such as hematite, chalcopyrite, galena, etc.) and non-metal ores (such as fluorite ore, asbestos ore, etc.).

 

Based on the color and properties of the metal, they can also be divided into two major categories: ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals refer to all metals except iron, chromium, and manganese.

Where do non-ferrous metals come from?

Non-ferrous metals come from non-ferrous metal deposits, and the formation of non-ferrous metal ores is related to crustal movements.

China's non-ferrous metal mines are mainly concentrated in the vast northwestern and southwestern regions, and their distribution often coincides with the direction of mountain ranges.

What are some clever ways to improve the utilization rate of non-ferrous metals?

Although China has a complete range of non-ferrous metals, abundant reserves, and wide distribution, with tungsten ore reserves, output, and export volume ranking first in the world. In addition, the reserves of tin, molybdenum, copper, lead, zinc, antimony, and mercury are also among the world's top ranks. However, the comprehensive utilization rate of non-ferrous metal resources is relatively low, with an overall comprehensive utilization rate of about 20%.
 

With the improvement of mining, selection, and smelting technologies and the strengthening of policies on the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, the comprehensive utilization rate of non-ferrous metal mineral resources in China has been improved to a certain extent, and intelligent mining and beneficiation equipment is constantly being launched. The JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system is an intelligent sorting system in the field of ore sorting, independently researched and developed by Hunan Jumper Technology Co., Ltd. It uses machine vision and deep learning, automated control, mechatronics, and other technologies, combined with high-performance computing and big data technology, to simulate human visual and brain functions; through different spectral imaging, it distinguishes the weathering discoloration, texture, fluorescence, energy spectrum, spectral transmittance, etc., on the surface of the ore, and performs rapid and accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis and intelligent and automated sorting of the ore.

The JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system is applicable to all types of ores and is mainly used for the intelligent sorting of non-ferrous metal ores, non-metal minerals, ferrous metal ores, precious metal ores, and building materials. It can improve the ore grade by pre-rejecting waste, thereby increasing total production capacity and resource recovery rate. To date, the JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system has been successfully applied in many mines, and has conducted pilot test research and application exploration for multiple ore types.

The JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system is deployed after the raw ore is mined and crushed and screened, and before it enters the flotation workshop. Parameters can be set according to different raw ore production sorting needs and self-optimization can be achieved to quickly complete the raw ore sorting task; it is suitable for new concentrators, old concentrator technical transformation, mining sites, slag and stone stacking sites and other mining enterprises, and metallurgical enterprises for sorting metallurgical production waste; it can effectively improve pre-selection capacity and help mining enterprises save transportation costs, replace manual hand-picking operations, reduce grinding energy consumption, reduce the amount of flotation reagents, reduce tailings discharge, reduce the pressure on tailings ponds, and increase unit time output. The discarded waste rock or surrounding rock can be used for sand and gravel aggregates or underground backfilling. Through pre-waste disposal and underground filling, zero tailings and zero emissions can be achieved, which meets the overall requirements of green mine construction.
