CONT

L'intégration de l'optique dans les processus de récupération des ressources est très prometteuse dans la mise en œuvre de pratiques minières plus écologiques. Les technologies de tri optique permettent la séparation et la récupération sélective des minéraux précieux, réduisant ainsi le besoin de méthodes d'extraction à forte consommation énergétique et nocives pour l'environnement.
