Modeling and Simulation of Mineral Processing Systems

Delve into quantitative modeling for mineral and process engineering, spanning operations from comminution to flotation and various separation techniques. Rich examples and historical insights illustrate simulations of ore dressing and coal washing equipment, offering practical tools for system optimization.

This essential reference explores the quantitative modeling techniques at the core of mineral and process engineering. Through detailed examples and instructional explanations, the book demonstrates how mathematical models can be used to simulate the real-world behavior of ore dressing and coal washing equipment.

Chapters cover the full range of mineral processing operations comminution, classification, flotation, gravity and magnetic separation, and solidliquid separationwhile emphasizing predictive models that can be integrated into complete process flowsheets. Each chapter includes historical insights to guide both students
