ABSTRACT:
An improved material separation system and method utilizing control particles of generally known physical characteristics as tracer particles through the separation process. The control particles are generally the same or similar to the materials being separated and are coated with or bonded to a fluorescing dye. The control particles are mixed with the material to be separated prior to separation. The mixture is imposed with a energy source which excites the fluorescent dye causing fluorescing emission. The fluorescing emission is detected at the output of the separation of the mixture to determine if the separation is operating efficiently and as desired.
