Predicting the recovery of composite mineral particles in froth flotation

该项目旨在提供一种新的方法来预测使用浮选工艺从矿石中回收有价金属，如铜，金和锂。该项目将提供一种新的方法来模拟单个浮选槽和串联浮选槽的行为。该项目将为采矿和煤炭行业等现有业务带来好处，这些行业是浮选技术的主要用户。对复合颗粒行为的新见解将导致更有效的操作和全尺寸工厂设计中的新方法，这将允许设计人员优化电路并最大限度地降低资本和运营成本。

This project aims to provide a new method of predicting the recovery of valuable metals such as copper, gold and lithium from ores using the flotation process. The project will provide new way of modelling the behaviour of individual flotation cells, and banks of cells in series. The project will provide benefits to existing operations such as the minerals and coal industries, which are heavy users of flotation technology. New insights into the behaviour of composite particles will lead to more efficient operations and a new way of scale-up in the design of full-scale plant, which will permit designers to optimise circuits and minimise capital and operating costs.
