International Geological Congress, Florence, Italy}, url = {http://www.32igc.org/default1.htm}, abstract = {Technological and environmental problems related to ore processing are a serious limitation for sustainable development of mineral resources, particularly for countries / companies rich in ores, but with little access to sophisticated technology, e.g. in Latin America. Digital image analysis (DIA) can provide a simple, unexpensive and broadly applicable methodology to assess these problems, but this methodology has to be carefully defined, to produce reproducible and relevant information.}, author = {Berrezueta, Edgar and Castroviejo Bolibar, Ricardo} }
