Abstract:Metal ores are mineralogically characterised to understand their genesis in order to allow informed decisions on mineral processing and to recognise likely environmental risks upon mining. However, standard mineralogical techniques generate only two-dimensional information at best, which in addition may be subject to sampling and stereological errors. By contrast, computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive imaging technique that allows three-dimensional analysis of solid materials. In the present study, two… Show more
