Automated Control System for Flotation Processes of Copper Porphyry Ores

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to optimize technological processes and increase the efficiency of mining and beneficiation firms by discussing an automated control system (ACS) for flotation processes of copper porphyry ores. An knowledge of the potential benefits of ACS implementation is provided by the flotation technology description, as well as the main components and automation techniques used in the ore enrichment process. The study focuses on the primary control and management techniques as well as the real-world application of these systems in industrial settings. The difficulties that businesses encounter while implementing automation are also discussed, as are the opportunities for these systems' advancement, including the incorporation of cutting-edge technology like digital twins, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence.The study highlights how crucial ACS is for increasing process stability, lowering energy and reagent usage, and boosting environmental safety. Implementing ACS can lead to notable enhancements in product quality, lower operating expenses, and heightened company competitiveness.
