  • Sorting mined material
    Patent number: 8820533
    Abstract: A method of sorting mined material for subsequent processing to recover valuable material, such as valuable metals, from the mined material is disclosed. The method includes a combination of selective breakage of mined material, for example, by using microwaves and/or high pressure grinding rolls, subsequent size separation, and then particle sorting of a coarse fraction of the separated material based on differential heating and thermal imaging.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2014
    Assignee: Technological Resources Pty. Limited
    Inventors: Raymond Walter Shaw, Barry Lavin
