Successful control of flotation plants in modern conditions represents a challenging and
complex task that has yet to be accomplished. There have been multiple attempts, however …

Flotation process modelling is not a simple task, mostly because of the process complexity,
ie the presence of a large number of variables that (to a lesser or a greater extent) affect the …

A dynamic flotation model incorporating fundamental and phenomenological relationships,
information from froth images and steady-state models is described. Model outputs …

Froth flotation models that are developed for circuit design applications are often not suitable
for model-based dynamic control and optimisation applications. For real-time control and …

A simple and easy-to-use phenomenological kinetic flotation model, strongly connected with
the physics of the process, is proposed in this paper. The model explicitly contains the cell …

The resolve to apply synthetic PGMs for flotation studies in this investigation was
necessitated by the need to address the hypothesis that Pt tellurides and arsenide from the …

This paper discusses how modelling and simulation can be used in predicting the recovery
of platinum group elements (PGE) in flotation process. In platinum group ores, commonly a …

The Brucutu iron ore mine (Minas Gerais, Brazil) is Vale's largest iron producing operation
achieving around 21 million tons per annum. Evaluation of flotation performance is of high …

By its nature a simple kinetic flotation model is limited because simulation of the flotation
process is complex and therefore requires the inclusion of a vast number of variables that …

The demands for more effective utilization of ore bodies and proper risk management in the
mining industry have resulted in a new cross discipline called geometallurgy. Geometallurgy …
