Objective
The objective of this project is to develop and assemble a transportable demonstrator, which uses Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), for automatic sorting of steel scrap. Two applications are planned for field testing of the device:
-Sorting and classification of shredded steel scrap at the exit of a shredder.
-Detailed quantitative chemical analysis of scrap moving on a conveyor belt feeding an electric arc furnace (EAF).
The development of the LIBS demonstrator system is complex. Nevertheless, the project is essential in order to reach a new technique level in the steel industry. The work enables simultaneously, reductions in production costs, improved product quality, and significantly reduced environmental loads.
