Abstract

A method and device relate to rare earth solution image capturing, and further relate to the field of rare earth hydrometallurgical process detection technologies. According to an embodiment, a rare earth solution image capture device includes a mixer-settler, a support platform, a camera obscura, a solution collection vessel, a color camera, a light source, a computer, a programmable logic controller, a motor driver, a peristaltic pump, and a conduit pipe. According to another embodiment, the rare earth solution image capture device performs automatic sampling by using the programmable logic controller and may perform detection at any time. An image captured by the color camera may be transmitted to the computer in real time without manual intervention.
