The development of a model for the simulation of the radiometric sorting of gold and uranium ores
Description
The development of a model to simulate the radiometric sorting of gold- and uranium-bearing ores is outlined. The developed program indicates the optimum mass, reject percentage, and expected reject gold and uranium grades for a radiometric sorter. It achieves this by statistical analysis of the data gathered from a large sample of rocks in the required size range for a particular mine. The program can be used in the optimization of existing sorters, as a design tool for new radiometric sorters, and in feasibility studies on radiometric sorting. 10 figs., 2 tabs
