Methodology for quantitative rock characterisation using multiple imaging systems and random particles generation.

ABSTRACT: The characterisation technologies have advanced rapidly in the last decade. From a qualitative observation of minerals with optical microscopy, more quantitative techniques have emerged. Examples are the SEM-based technologies that focus on mineralogical identification at the microscale and the X-ray microtomography systems that allow identifying rock features in three dimensions. Features such as rock texture and mineralogy have a degree of control on how the rock behaves in the processing plant and thus can affect the project's economic feasibility. None of the available measurement devices is currently capable of identifying all the aspects of rock characteristics that are of interest in linking mineralogy and texture to process response in a single measurement. However, through the int
