Response surface methodology (RSM) is one of the most effective tools for optimizing processes, and it has been used in conjunction with the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test to establish the effect of input factors on output factors. However, when this methodology is used in mineral flotation, its polynomial model usually performs poorly. …
The quality of the model of the flotation stage for the purpose of flotation circuit design using optimization has been controversial. While some authors indicate that using a robust flotation model is the first step towards finding the optimal circuit design ( Hu et al., 2013 ), others suggest that the quality of the model plays a secondary ...

Improved flotation operation can be achieved by improved control in terms of stabilization, regulation and optimization of the plant. Through stable operation, the performance of the plant is observed without being obscured by the effects of disturbances and fluctuations. This allows for the optimum conditions to be easily identified.

An extensive review by Mendez et al. (2009) on the conceptual design of flotation circuits provided a solid base to compare various approaches which have been taken to solve this multi-objective optimization problem. Since the design of industrial flotation circuits has primarily been based on empirical relationships, the overall …
In industrial flotation processes the mean specific power input P/VS (VS aerated slurry volume) is mainly in the range of 1–2 kW/m 3.Assuming from that ε ¯ ≈ 1.5 W / kg, then in the impeller stream an energy dissipation rate of at least 20–30 ε ¯ can be expected.. From the latter, at first, high stresses acting in air dispersion are the …

The findings demonstrate that altering the flow field pattern enhances the turbulence in the flotation machine's mixing zone, enhances the velocity distribution of the three-phase fluid at the bottom of the flotation tank, and fosters bubble-particle contact, collision, and adhesion. This can successfully reduce the clean coal ash content.
Accurate monitoring of the flotation concentrate grades is crucial for the optimization and control of the flotation process. There are several existing monitoring techniques, but they can be expensive to implement and may have high maintenance requirements in addition to their latency. One of the most used techniques is laboratory …

economical. Froth flotation methods are essential to the recovery of zinc and lead from these low-grade zinc oxide ores [13]. Of course, flotation reagents and flotation flow-sheets were the keys to addressing this obstacle originating from low-grade, highly oxi-dized properties and the complex co-occurrence relationships between minerals.
