On-line Colour Measurement of Flotation Froth
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports new results regarding the usefulness of colour measurements in flotation process. Colour measurements coming simultaneously from RGB-camera and a spectrophotometer (and from the same measurement point) are compared. The measured variables are used to construct a partial least squares (PLS) model and a multilinear regression (MLR) model for the prediction of the zinc content in the froth. The study shows that both the RGB-camera and spectrophotometer are able to make reliable prediction and makes comparisons between the two modelling techniques.

Analysis of Flotation Froth Appearance by Design of Experiments
Flotation is one of the most important mineral concentration techniques. It is known that the appearance of the froth in the flotation cells tells much about the state of the flotation process. A machine vision measurement device was used to compute dynamical, morphological and colour variables of the froth on the top of a flotation cell during a set of experiments. In order to examine the depe...
متن کاملAn On-Line Machine Vision Flotation Froth Analysis Platform
Froth flotation is a popular process used for the extraction of certain minerals from ore. The effective automatic control of this process has great financial importance. Utilising machine vision as the measurement component of an automatic flotation control system has several advantages: it is a cost effective solution due to its non-contacting sensors and consequent low maintenance, as well a...

Froth flotation is the most widely used technique for the separation of valuable minerals from gangue ones. Changeable nature of feed, interaction of variables and weakness of accurate measurement equipment have made the development of monitoring methods and continues control of flotation circuits to an important issue. Today with the advance of technology, machine vision systems based on image...
متن کاملFault condition recognition based on multi-scale co-occurrence matrix for copper flotation process
Image processing technology has been successfully applied to fault detection of copper flotation processes, and the key to realize image processing based fault condition recognition is accurately extracting froth image features closely related to key production indices. To extract texture features of froth images in real-time, a multi-scale gray level co-occurrence matrix (M-GLCM) method is pro...
متن کاملA new method for determination of frothability of frothers by using water recovery measurement
A new method was introduced for frothing characterization of flotation frothers. Method uses water recovery to develop a new frothability index named water recovery index (WRI). New index was determined for some commercial frothers and results were compared with dynamic frothability index (DFI). Results showed that water recovery index values follow the order of A-65 13016 s/mol > DF-250 6292.4...
