Furthermore, CAPNet can also reduce the ash determination time from hours needed by existing standard method to 6 ms, which is …Web
1. Introduction. In recent years, flotation cells incorporated in industrial circuits have shown a significant increase in size with time. In this context, while mechanical flotation cells of 300 m 3 have become common in the mining industry (Yianatos et al., 2008a, Govender et al., 2014), cells of up to 500 and 600 m 3 have been …Web
Whole circuit modelling is even more difficult, for the reasons already mentioned as well as maintaining a consistent mass balance in the face of multiple recycle streams.
