Garbage Spectrometer
Optical devices such as spectrometers and cameras play a crucial role in HSI-based waste sorting and quality control. Spectroquant® Prove 100 is a highly capable yet economical VIS spectrophotometer developed for fast, easy and secure use in routine applications such as waste water testing. It allows direct insertion of cell tests and is preprogrammed for our broad range of Spectroquant® cell test kits. Agilent offer spectroscopy waste bottles, a spectroscopy safety cap, and a spectroscopy vapor filter, which together ensure the safe and efficient collection of liquid waste solution generated during. The team are using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology to collect and analyse 80 recyclable waste samples, classifying them into paper, plastic, glass, metal, textile, and wood. Their work, published in AIP Advances, could help promote resource reuse, the team says.
