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.
