MATERIAL SORTING TECHNOLOGY

Systems (700) for sorting materials (702, 704), such as those made of metal, are described. The systems may operate by irradiating the materials with x-rays (712) and then detecting fluoresced x-rays, transmitted x-rays, or both. Detection of the fluoresced x-rays may be performed using an x-ray flu...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Systems (700) for sorting materials (702, 704), such as those made of metal, are described. The systems may operate by irradiating the materials with x-rays (712) and then detecting fluoresced x-rays, transmitted x-rays, or both. Detection of the fluoresced x-rays may be performed using an x-ray fluorescence detector array (708). Detection of the transmitted x-rays may be performed using an x-ray transmission detector array (710). The systems may be configured to provide high throughput sorting of small pieces of materials. L'invention porte sur des systèmes de tri de matériaux, tels que ceux faits de métal. Les systèmes peuvent fonctionner par irradiation des matériaux par des rayons X, puis détection des rayons X devenus fluorescents, des rayons X transmis ou des deux. La détection des rayons X devenus fluorescents peut être réalisée à l'aide d'un réseau de détecteurs de fluorescence X. Les systèmes peuvent être configurés pour fournir un tri à haut débit de petits morceaux de matériaux.
