Abstract

The moisture of bulk material has a significant impact on the energetic efficiency of dry grinding, resultant particle size distribution and particle shape, and conditions of powder transport. This research aims to develop computer vision and thermovision techniques for the on-site estimation of moisture content in copper ore, for use, e.g., in dry grinding installations. The influence of particle size on the results of moisture estimation is also studied. The tested granular material was copper ore of particle size 0–2 mm and relative moisture content of 0.5–11%. Both vision and thermovision images were taken at standard and macro scales. The results suggest that median-intensity vision images monotonically reflect copper ore moisture in the range of about 0.5–5%. Suitable models were identified and cross-validated here. In contrary, thermograms should not be analyzed simply for their mean temperature but treated with computer vision processing algorithms.
