Abstract

A sorting system for use with a feed material. The system includes a detector system, a control system, a diversion system, and a material transport mechanism. The material transport mechanism is configured to transport the feed material to the diversion system past the detector system. The detector system is operable to detect a level of a contaminant in the feed material transported past the detector system and transmit a signal to the control system indicating the level. The control system is operable to instruct the diversion system to deposit the feed material in a first area when the level exceeds predefined release criteria, and to deposit the feed material in a second area when the level does not exceed predefined release criteria. The feed material may include soil, concrete rubble, masonry rubble, ore, ash, metallic shapes, metallic scraps, and vegetable matter.
