Abstract: In this study, an automated scrap-sorting system using image processing technology has been designed and examined to automatically sort out specified materials from a mixture, especially Cu and other non-ferrous metal scraps from a mixture of iron scraps. In the functional tests of the system, its efficiency in the separation of Cu scraps from its mixture with Fe ones reaches to 75 % or more at a conveying speed of 20 m/min., and thus it is expected that the system can be commercialized in the industry of shredder makers if an automated sorting system of high speed is realized.

Abstract: In order to investigate the atomic structure of sputtered-deposited Fe76Tb24 amorphous film, we performed X-ray anomalous scattering (XAS) measurements at two energies near the Tb K-absorption edge using the synchrotron-radiations (SR). The total, Tb and Fe environmental pair distribution functions (PDF's) of the amorphous film were obtained from the normalized scattering intensities after the corrections for the structural analysis. The coordination numbers were calculated from the area under the fitted PDF profiles multiplied by 4πr 2 and near-neighbor distances were estimated from the positions of the peaks of the fitted profiles.

Abstract: This study examined the application of color measurement to determining the chemical composition of Cu alloys such as Cu-Zn, Cu-Sn, and Cu-Al using a color recognition system. Measured data showed that the hue intensity changed exponentially when Zn, Sn, or Al in the Cu binary systems and fitted well with an exponential equation within the experimental error. This indicates that the obtained equations can be used for predicting the compositions of Cu-Zn, Cu-Sn, and Cu-Al systems by measuring the hue intensity.
