| Résumé : |
Previous studies in mechanical and column flotation cells have shown that bubble surface area flux (Sb) is an appropriate indicator of gas dispersion in a flotation cell which has a relatively strong correlation with flotation rate constant.
In the present investigation, based on extensive tests conducted in an industrial Metso Minerals CISA flotation column (4 m in diameter and 12 m in height) in a rougher circuit, Sb as a function of the most significant operating variables which affect gas dispersion in a flotation column (i.e. superficial gas velocity, slurry density (solids%) and frother dosage/type) was modeled using artificial neural network (ANN) and statistical (non-linear regression) techniques.
The models were developed taking into consideration a data set consisting of 82 experimental tests conducted in an industrial rougher column (at a copper concentrator in Iran) operating under a variety of experimental conditions.
This paper outlines the development of the models and validation using a number of randomly selected datasets.
Limitations of the present models are discussed and comments and recommendations on further investigations are given. |
