NOBLE METAL AMOUNT CALCULATION APPARATUS AND NOBLE METAL AMOUNT CALCULATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a noble metal amount calculation apparatus and a noble metal amount calculation method capable of calculating an amount of noble metal and copper contained in entire electronic boards recovered from used consumer products, information equipment and the like in a nondestructive way.;SOLUTION: X-ray sensor members 1 and 2 can supply X-ray fluoroscopic images each obtained by irradiating a measurement target 6 with an X-ray. An optical sensor member 3 can supply optical images of both one principal surface 60A of the measurement target 6 and the other principal surface 60B thereof. Electromagnetic sensor members 4 and 5 can supply reflection intensity distribution images each obtained by irradiating the measurement target 6 with an electromagnetic wave. A computing determination unit 7 calculates an amount of noble metal contained in the measurement target 6 on the basis of the X-ray fluoroscopic images, the optical images, and the reflection intensity distributions. The computing determination unit 7 includes a database for identifying a type of a component 61 mounted on the measurement target 6 on the basis of the X-ray fluoroscopic images and the optical images.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT
