Abstract: This invention patent application addresses a system for the detection and quantification of mineralogical species via x-ray diffraction (XRD) of the concentrate of dry copper before it is injected into a converter or melting furnace. Specifically, it addresses a device that performs a mineralogical analysis, in line and in real time, of the concentrate of copper in the bath smelting furnace via x-ray diffraction (XRD), which allows for control over the ideal mixture for the optimal process for copper sulfide (Cu2S)-white metal, iron sulfide (FeS)-Slag and pyritic sulfur (S2)-temperature.

Abstract: This application addresses a wireless system for the determination of the height of liquid or molten metal levels containing metal, shaft, matte or slag in smelting furnace. Specifically, it addresses a wireless system that allows, without the presence of cables, the sending and receiving of a signal outside of the smelting furnace, in order to determine, on-line, the height of the phases, including the height of the slag-matte interface and the total level of the bath.

Abstract: A mechanical device that has the ability to manage and set explosives cones in the rocks that form the hanging, which can be operated remotely, avoiding the danger of the current state of the art where operators place explosive using bamboo sticks, before detonating them, causing an imbalance in the hanging. The mechanical device also known as cone-holder, is located at the end of an automated and semi autotransportable manipulator arm for releasing hangings.
