This is a proof of concept study to develop a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Mid-Infrared (Mid-IR) Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) for rapid mineralogical analysis suitable for on-belt/in-line sensing of ores. Contributions to the project include test sample selection and characterisation (MLA, XRD, XRF-ICP-MS) for the testing and calibration of the LIBS-QCL system at the National Research Council of Canada in Quebec. Research outputs will be published by the NRC-CRC ORE in Minerals Engineering in 2019.
