Advance moisture control in mining industry
The mining industry faces unique challenges due to excessive moisture, affecting operations, equipment, and safety. Moisture control has become a crucial aspect to enhance productivity and mitigate risks.
Monitoring Moisture Content
How to Track Moisture Content?
Accurately tracking moisture content is essential for effective control. Several methods are employed in the mining industry:
- Gravimetric Analysis: Measuring the weight loss of a sample after drying to determine moisture content.
- Electrical Conductivity: Utilizing the electrical conductivity of a sample to estimate moisture levels.
- Capacitance Probes: Utilizing sensors that measure capacitance changes caused by moisture variations.
- Neutron Scattering: Using a neutron source to determine moisture content by measuring scattered neutrons.
