| چکیده | ||
| Operational variables of a mineral processing circuit are subjected to different variations. Steady-state simulation of processes provides an estimate of their ideal stable performance whereas their dynamic simulation predicts the effects of the variations on the processes or their subsequent processes. In this paper, a dynamic simulator containing some of the major equipment of mineral processing circuits (i.e. ball mill, cone crusher, screen, hydrocyclone, mechanical flotation cell, tank leaching and conveyor belt) was developed. The dynamic simulator of each mentioned unit was also developed according to population balance models with the help of MATLAB/Simulink environment and was verified against the data from the literature. Comminution and separation sections were linked using empirical models which correlate the separation and extraction kinetics to particle size. Applying the developed simulator, the dynamic behavior of a grinding-leaching circuit was analyzed and the results showed that such simulations are required for both designing and controlling the circuits. | ||
