Descripción
Geometallurgy has emerged in the last decades as a cross-discipline which combines information provided by geology, metallurgy and mine planning. The link between these three areas enhances the performance of the design and operation of mining businesses thanks to a better knowledge of the resource characteristics. Therefore, to achieve a successful geometallurgical model a mineralogical characterization as complete and accurate as possible has to be performed. Usually, mineralogical characterization of ores provides quantitative data about composition, liberation and mineral texture, which includes grain size analysis and eventually grain boundary irregularity quantification. However, the automated characterization of the type of intergrowth is not possible using current technology, even if it has been identified by many authors as one of the most relevant textural features for mineral processing. In this work, a new methodology is presented for the automated identification of the intergrowth types which are more relevant from the point of view of mineral processing. Besides, the method performs a complete mineralogical characterization based on a particle-by-particle analysis.
