ABSTRACT Froth flotation is a universally accepted process for the beneficiation of coal fines. However, the process variables, collector dosage, frother dosage, and pulp density need to be optimized for each coal. In the present work, response surface methodology has been applied for optimization of yield at a desired ash level. …

A particle swarm optimization support vector machine (PSO-SVM) was used to train the model of the multi-scale features and working condition (froth appearance) recognition, and the proposed method is verified by experiments. The multi-scale features are arranged and fused to establish the dataset for flotation froth condition recognition.

Flotation is a method that enables the separation of hydrophobic particles with the help of air bubbles (Fig. 3 a). In flotation, the particles adhere to air bubbles depending on solid, liquid, and gas contact phases. The interaction of particles and bubbles includes collision, adhesion, and stability [ 3, 4, 5 ].

In this paper, a supervisory layer with real-time optimization (RTO) has been implemented in an experimental laboratory-scale flotation column for copper concentration. A two-stage and modifier adaptation (MA) methodology for RTO has been compared under structural, experimental and dynamic uncertainty.
