LIBS Laser Separation Technology from huangxiangfeng's blog

"China's aluminum recycling plants, smelters and refineries will benefit from the TORON separation LIBS technology, which is the world's largest producer of aluminum," said Xie Xiaohan, general manager of Tollang Separation's Recycling business in China. However, there is still much room for improvement in the recycling of used aluminum, which is almost the same quality as primary aluminum, but only 5% of primary aluminum is consumed in the production of recycled aluminum. Therefore, both the economic and environmental point of view, the use of advanced high power laser pointer technology to optimize the aluminum recycling industry chain, should be the focus of industry development.Tao Lang Group believes that LIBS sorting technology can play an important role in upgrading the industrial chain.

Taurang Sorting Resource Recycling recently launched the ultra-efficient LIBS automatic sorting technology and the newly upgraded X-TRACT device. The powerful LIBS technology utilizes dynamic lasers to scan the full bandwidth of the conveyor belt, extending both sortable scrap and reclaimed aluminum grades, significantly increasing throughput and ensuring higher purity after sorting, maximizing added value .

The main advantage of this new hybrid metal sorting technology is the ability to more fully sort and utilize recyclable metals from mixed materials to release more value from previously wasted resources. At the same time, you can significantly save energy, reduce the cost of sorting, and increase profit margins. Through this green technology, customers can more effectively use waste, but also fully reflects the waste recycling industry's commitment to sustainable development.

The new LIBS green laser pointer sorting technology based on existing sensing sorting technology, to further enhance the sorting effect of existing technology. Taurang's X-TRACT sorting equipment, upgraded via LIBS technology, offers higher performance and can be used to classify scrap grades into 5xxx and 6xxx alloys and remove all unwanted impurities.Tollang Group has sold more than 60 aluminum sorting units in Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the world's leading suppliers of scrap metal sorting, the Taurang Group's advanced and reliable technology solutions are widely used for sorting taint tabor from scrap, extruded profile scrap and used beverage cans, Aluminum scrap in industrial waste.

LightFab is a start-up company founded in Rheinisch Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen University. LightFab uses SLE technology to produce 3D precision parts made of quartz glass. LightFab's machine greatly improves the productivity of 3D printing of glass parts used in prototype manufacturing and production of a series of products, enabling the use of SLE technology to achieve mass production of parts.

The project partners saw numerous potential applications of the cheap laser pointer technology. It is not only able to produce channels in glass materials, but also to produce nozzles and other micro devices. The technology also provides unique advantages in drilling and cutting processes. Ablation can achieve the ablation of the material without tension, which has many advantages, such as the manufacture of the interlayer structure in semiconductor technology. It is capable of generating a micro structure of 10 m.

The researchers are working with three laser source manufacturers (Amphos, Edgewave and Trumpf) and the three systems suppliers (4JET, LightFab and Pulsar Photonics) cooperation. Their goal is to develop a multi beam system for large surface applications, as well as to develop a smaller system for micro machining.

According to reports, the "Dalian source" wavelength in the extreme ultraviolet region completely adjustable, with full coherence; the burning laser pointer can work in femtosecond or picosecond pulse mode, you can use the SASE (self amplified spontaneous emission (HGHG) or high gain amplification of harmonic mode). The project of Dalian light source was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which was jointly developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and Shanghai Institute of applied physics. The project in Dalian Changxing Island on October 2014 officially started construction, the end of September 2016 completed the first installation of light, creating a new record Chinese similar large scientific equipment construction.
