Although various articles have reviewed the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in froth
flotation (summarized in this article), other unit operations for mineral concentration in …

Mine operations in the future will require automatic rock characterization at many different
stages, since it can be used to supervise and optimize various processes in the laboratory …

Variations in run-of-mine ore properties such as size, composition, and grindability strongly
affect AG and SAG mills performance. In the past, most efforts to track and control these …

Soft sensors are used widely to estimate a process variable which is difficult to measure
online. One of the crucial difficulties of soft sensors is that predictive accuracy drops due to …

In mining, rock classification plays a crucial role at different stages of the extraction process
ranging from the design of the mine to mineral grading and plant control. In this paper we …

The product of the mining industry (ore) is considered to be the raw material for the metal
industry. The destination policy of the raw materials of iron mine is highly dependent on the …

This is the first step in establishing a geometallurgical program for the Malmberget iron ore
deposit, northern Sweden. Geometallurgy captures geological and metallurgical …

The mining operations are part of the industry 4.0 revolution, and there is a need in
developing new ways to produce a flow of information among all the processes of a plant. In …

Estimation of rock composition in mining plants is important for determining rock size and
grindability which, in turn, may improve control of the grinding process. Variations in ore …

The strength of rockfills and waste materials is significantly influenced by their particle size
distribution (PSD). For large waste rockfills, PSD is fundamental to determine the shear …
