May 01, 2006 Conventional models, based on pulp kinetics, were regressed directly to steady-state data from a nine-stage platinum flotation plant, to provide a basis for optimisation studies. ‘Froth factors’ were obtained by regression to characterise the froth in each stage and a ‘depressant factor’ was also required for gangue minerals, to account

Flotation stabilization and optimization by A. Singh, J.J. Louw, and D.G. Hulbert* Synopsis The control of flotation plants is by no means trivial. Flotation is one of the most interactive minerals’ processing operations. The interactive nature of flotation circuits results in oscillations of

Sep 01, 2000 The paper describes a procedure to tune a grinding circuit in order to maximise the economic efficiency of the flotation plant. The optimisation process is performed using a plant simulator based on phenomenological models of grinding and flotation and an empirical model for predicting the minerals size distribution from the ore size distribution of the grinding circuit product

Jan 01, 2002 Once the plant has been designed, the flotation principles that govern scale-up play almost no role in the optimisation of the circuit to meet its metallurgical targets. This deficiency can potentially lead to a plant design incapable of meeting its targets, especially when circuits incorporate large flotation cells

Feb 23, 2017 In the present paper, a new attitude has been proposed for optimization of the separation efficiency (SE) and the Gaudin’s selectivity index (SI) in a flotation process by Hybrid artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). The chemical reagent’s dosage (collector, frother and fuel oil), pH, solid percentage, feed rate, Cu, Mo, and Fe grades in the flotation feed were

Nov 09, 2021 Comparative results of the recovery of valuable components from the tailings of the Belousovskaya Enrichment Plant by flotation with and without washing are demonstrated in Figure 3. The use of pre-washing in a slightly acidic medium can increase the recovery of Pb by 9.59%, Zn by 23.07% and Cu by 9.69%
