Integrating LIBS and NIR for detection of heavy metals in perlite ores© ANTS - Institut für anthropogene Stoffkreisläufe an der RWTH Aachen (2/2016)
Perlite products are used as a filter aid in the food industry. For such applications, the purity of the material is one of the most significant parameters of control. Early detection of heavy metals is therefore of great industrial interest. In this study, a sensor-based approach for chemical and mineralogical characterization enabled the identification of patterns in the distribution of heavy metals in the perlite ore.
