Advancing Process Mineralogy with Automated Multimodal Microscopy
Process Mineralogy is an essential discipline when it comes to improving performance and reducing costs in mine sites. The minerals we mine have a fundamental influence in process circuit performance as efficiency is affected by, for example, liberation and the presence of deleterious elements in the feed. Scanning Electron Microscope has been the tool of choice when studying ore mineralogy, and the principal tool in the armoury of the process mineralogist. Its prevalence may have come at the expense of other viable methods, such as Light Microscope based techniques, that do not suffer from the same complexity of implementation and costs, however, it has proven its worth despite the technical limitations it was built upon.
The webinar highlights some of the shortfalls in Automated Mineralogy and how ZEISS solutions are striving to overcome them with the application of AI, ease of use, and automation for both Automated Mineralogy with the Light Microscope and with the Scanning Electron Microscope.

Speaker: Dr Eddy Hill (Natural Resources, ZEISS Microscopy)
Eddy completed a PhD in Experimental Petrology at the University of Bristol, which he followed with a move to UT to work on developing technologies and processes, for in-situ resource utilisation, with a view to building and supplying a Lunar Base. In time, he returned to more traditional research topics at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, Arizona, before moving to industry to work as a Consultant. In 2012, he joined ZEISS with a remit to develop automated analytical solutions for Geoscientists and the Mining Industry.
