Grinding Mill Circuits - A Survey of Control and Economic Concerns
نویسندگان
چکیده
A worldwide survey on grinding mill circuits in the mineral processing industry was conducted. The aims of this survey are to determine how milling circuits are currently controlled, and to find out how key process variables are linked to economic benefits. The survey involves background information on the circuits, the choice of controlled and manipulated variables, the economic impact of the controlled variables, adopted control technologies, and assessment of control performance. 68 responses were received as a whole. Survey results are contrasted to the milling control literature.

متن کاملSelection of Comminution Circuits for Improved Efficiency
This paper examines the design of comminution circuits and the issues that impact on comminution circuit efficiency. Circuit efficiency is discussed, principally from the perspective of power efficiency. However, operating efficiency, maintenance efficiency, capital expenditure and return on investment are often the key efficiency factors in project development outweighing power efficiency cons...

متن کاملDevelopment of a Dynamic Population Balance Plant Simulator for Mineral Processing Circuits
Operational variables of a mineral processing circuit are subjected to different variations. Steady-statesimulation of processes provides an estimate of their ideal stable performance whereas their dynamicsimulation predicts the effects of the variations on the processes or their subsequent processes. In thispaper, a dynamic simulator containing some of the major equipment of mineral processing...
