A generic non-linear dynamic modelling approach for the quality control of metallurgical furnaces is discussed, in this paper focusing on furnaces with long time constants (e.g. blast furnaces, submerged-arc furnaces). Non-linear system identificatio

Flotation processes occurring in the bulk and froth phases have a characteristic influence on the structural features and dynamics of the flotation froth. In principle the froth features can therefore be used as a useful indicator of the performance

The appearance of the surface froth in the zinc roughers of an Australian base metal flotation plant was quantified on-line using textural image analysis. The textural features of the froth were characterised using the neighbouring grey level depende

The feed to metallurgical reactors are often characterised by a variety of different ores, and in pyrometallurgical furnaces additionally by reductants. These feeds effect the operation of the reactors in various ways. In for example flotation plants

The development of robust automatic control systems has proved difficult because of the complexity of the problem. Flotation is notorious for its susceptibility to process upsets and consequently its poor performance, making successful flotation cont

A methodology is proposed to analyse and model an ill-defined and poorly understood leaching process from historical data by artificial neural networks (ANN) and statistical techniques. It was found that the most effective process models were produce

Ill-defined processes such as the froth flotation of minerals are mostly controlled in an empirical way by using rules of thumb. These processes involve so many variables that the plant operator finds it difficult to visualise or even observe a chang
