The Metal-ID separation system: A new approach to recovering non-ferrous metals using multi-frequency metal-detection and machine learning.

详细描述你的项目，并且以一种你乐于看到发表的方式。不包括任何商业敏感信息。如果我们授予您的项目资金，我们将公布这一描述。这可能会在你开始你的项目之前发生。您的回答可能长达400字。这是一个可行性项目：我们的目标是：(1)建立金属ID技术(TRL~3)在全面、接近市场的分离解决方案(TRL~7)中的可行性，以及(2)获得与商业相关的性能统计数据。我们在基于实验室的传感器上进行的测试表明这是有希望的。建立真正的商业可行性和客户的兴趣，需要一个完整的系统，对材料、成本和运营成本的认知，并在大量真实的废旧材料上进行测试。金属ID技术是一种创新的废金属分类新方法，源于对多频率金属计量单位检测的原创性研究。这项技术将创造一种新产品--一种先进的感应分离系统，它在设计和能力上与现有的感应分离器有根本的不同，并有可能以低得多的成本与高精度技术竞争。我们是第一个展示这项技术的，我们已经领先于它的开发。我们已经提出了一个明确的商业案例。我们正在应对改善有色金属分离的需求，因为立法、贸易壁垒和市场对这些金属的需求推动了回收产品质量的提高，并降低了留给垃圾填埋场的数量。我们估计，我们的技术可以使混合金属回收的价值增加高达30%，潜在地使英国每年可利用的25万吨材料的价值增加5000万GB。这项工作建立了新的合作伙伴关系。它结合了我们在电磁学和仪器方面的研究优势，以及在磁选制造和工程方面的专业知识，以及与客户的牢固关系，为评估市场需求和商业价值提供第一手情报。双方之间都有开采协议。我们已经为这项工作制定了一个现实的18个月的时间表，其中规定了技术风险(故障或表现不佳)、操作风险(停工、关闭)和商业风险(价值和接受度较低)的应急情况。这些工作已经准备就绪，将在短期内推出一款新产品，将英国的研究与雄心勃勃的英国工程业务结合起来，在一个重要行业创造价值，并影响全球经济。

Describe your project in detail, and in a way that you are happy to see published. Do not include any commercially sensitive information. If we award your project funding, we will publish this description. This could happen before you start your project. Your answer can be up to 400 words long.This is a feasibility project: We aim to, (1) establish the feasibility of the Metal-ID technology (TRL ~3) in a full, near-to-market separation solution (TRL~7), and (2) obtain commercially-relevant performance statistics. Our tests on a lab-based sensor suggest promise. Establishing true commercial feasibility, and interest from customers, requires a full system, cognisant of material, outlay and operating costs, and tested on large quantities of real scrap material.The Metal-ID technology is an innovative new approach to scrap metal classification, resulting from original research on multi-frequency metal detection by UoM. The technology will create a new product -- an 'advanced' induction separation system that presents a radical departure in terms of design and capabilities from existing induction separators, and threatens to compete with high precision technologies at a much lower-cost. We are the first to demonstrate this technology and we have taken the lead on its development.We have put forward a clear business case. We are responding to a need for improved separation for non-ferrous metals, as legislation, trade-barriers, and market demand for these metals drives-up recycled product quality, and drives down quantities left to landfill. We estimate our technology could increase the value of mixed-metal recyclate by up to 30%, potentially adding £50m to the value of the 250kt material available annually in the UK.This work foments a new partnership. It combines our strengths of research into electromagnetics and instrumentation, with expertise in manufacturing and engineering for magnetic separation, and strong relationships with customers providing first-hand intelligence for assessing market needs and commercial value. Agreements for exploitation are in place between both parties. We have set-out a realistic 18-month timetable for the work, that provides contingencies for technical risks (failure or poor performance), operational risks (work-stoppages, lock-down), and commercial risks (poor value and take-up). The pieces are in place to deliver in the near term a new product which combines UK research with an ambitious UK engineering business, to create value in an important sector and impact the global economy.
