Abstract

Aluminum recycling is crucial for both economic and ecological reasons, offering significant energy savings and reducing raw material scarcity. Among various techniques for sorting aluminum scrap, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) stands out for its rapid and precise identification of elemental composition. The MOPA approach from Neolase enhances LIBS performance by providing high energies and precise control over pulse parameters, improving data quality and sorting efficiency.
