Minerals and coal need to be beneficiated from ore/crudes before being sold into the market. UQ researchers developed a novel sensor for real-time monitoring of froth flotation performance in mineral beneficiation, offering low-cost, accurate diagnostics. This technology allows for live feedback and instant control of operational variables, enhancing efficiency. It has been successfully field-tested, indicating readiness for wider industry adoption. The sensor is inexpensive, accurate, and easily scalable, suitable for remote operations.
