Monitoring and Controlling Saturation Zones in Heap Leach Piles Using Thermal Analysis

This manuscript describes a method that is based on the implementation and setup of a mechatronic system that can recognize and detect, through thermal analysis, the zones where heap leaching piles may become locally saturated. Such a condition could trigger the potential of liquefaction, generating...
