    摘要: A material sorting system sorts materials, such as scrap pieces composed of unknown metal alloys, as a function of their detected x-ray fluorescence. The x-ray fluorescence may be converted into an elemental composition signature that is then compared to an elemental composition signature of a reference material in order to identify and/or classify each of the materials, which are then sorted into separate groups based on such an identification/classification. The material sorting system may include an in-line x-ray tube having a plurality of separate x-ray sources, each of which can irradiate a separate stream of materials to be sorted.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is the use of differences in x-ray linear absorption coefficients to process ore and remove elements with higher atomic number from elements with lower atomic numbers. Use of this dry method at the mine reduces pollution and transportation costs. One example of said invention is the ejection of inclusions with sulfur, silicates, mercury, arsenic and radioactive elements from coal. This reduces the amount and toxicity of coal ash. It also reduces air emissions and the energy required to clean stack gases from coal combustion. Removal of said ejected elements improves thermal efficiency and reduces the pollution and carbon footprint for electrical production.

    摘要: An automated multi-grade wastepaper recycle center and sorting system is provided. The center is a multi-acre fenced-in complex having security that allows for recycling trucks to deliver multiple grades of wastepaper for separating and sorting to one location prior to pulp processing and deinking type processes. Collection tracks leave their loads in one of four drop pits where different conveyor systems start the sorting process. A novel swivel conveyor system can remove papers from the drop pit for temporary storage on various locations on a primary segregation floor where plied papers can later be recycled into main pit area when needed. Alternatively, loads from the drop pits can be conveyed to the main pit area directly and then presorted onto different conveyor systems. One conveyor can then send wastepaper through a star-wheel sorter system that can separate desired grades of paper. Another conveyor can pass papers through an x-ray station and then hand separated through specialized waste collection stations and drops. Sorted papers can later be sent to a bailer system for bailing and/or separated papers can also be resorted through the various sorters over and over as needed. The bailed papers can later be sent to additional outside recycling processes such as but not limited to deinking and the like. The complex allows for the bailed papers to be delivered to the additional recycling locations such as ones for pulp processing and deinking operations by railroad lines and/or also by trucks.
