Title:
Quantum mining: coherent quantum imaging tools for process mineralogy analytics
Agreement Number:
988538
Agreement Value:
$699,123.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 24, 2022 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
The Project will focus on the development of coherent quantum imaging techniques for mining applications. Based on nonlinear optical microscopies, the Project will address the shortcomings of current mineralogical sample characterization techniques. The techniques will also be applicable across a range of industrially relevant materials, particularly those that are susceptible to laser-induced damage, such as those containing significant amounts of carbon. To better understand where the advantages of quantum enhanced nonlinear optical microscopy will be of benefit to Canada, the University of Ottawa will work with the NRC-EME team to identify resource streams where improved rapid sample characterization would have the largest benefit. By targeting timely and consequential problems in mining, the Project will lead to the development of new tools for more efficient mining operations with reduced waste and improved yields in Canada
