Laboratory and pilot-plant tests can be used for preliminary optimisation of plant design, but the conditions in the cleaner cells are usually not very realistic. Clearly, plant data provides the best basis for deriving an empirical model for optimisation of a multistage plant, as it is an extrapolation of the performance of existing equipment.
اقرأ المزيدThe control of flotation plants is by no means trivial. Flotation is one of the most interactive mineralsi?½ processing operations. The interactive nature of flotation circuits results in oscillations of levels and hence of grades and recoveries. Also, poor level setpoint tracking and disturbances have negative influences on grades and recoveries. The …
