The X-MINE project is focused on developing novel X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Transmission (XRT)-sensing technologies integrated with drill core scanning and mineral sorting. The contributions from the Uppsala University to the project include mineralogical and textural characterisation of the ores in the targeted mines in the project, determining the concentrations and distribution of trace […]
In the H2020 X-MINE-project, the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) is leading the work in WP1 that aims to, among other tasks, develop geological 3D-models for the four mine sites involved in the project. Adjacent to the project study area, a student, Iris van der Werf from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, has performed a […]
A new generation of high-resolution energy-sensitive multichannel pixel detector equipped with fast readout interface for continuous X-Ray inspection of moving objects was developed for conveyor belt application within X-Mine project. This detector consists of six modules as is illustrated in Figure 1. Each module has got independent USB3 fast readout interface for communication with computer […]
