Abstract Current advances and developments in automated mineralogy have made it a crucial key technology the field of process mineralogy, allowing better understanding connection between beneficiation process. The latest X‑ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) shown great potential to let become next-generation technique. µCT’s main benefit lies its capability allow 3D monitoring internal structu...
