摘要

This thesis gives the results of engineering research conducted to examine and determine superior methods to characterize and model the froth flotation process. This work first began on the laboratory scale to evaluate thirteen kinetic flotation models, found in the literature, for their application to flotation results from a variety of base metal sulfide ores simulating several flotation circuits. The two criteria used for ranking were statistically based measures of goodness of fit, and model parameters having narrow or reliable confidence limits. All of the models tested gave a good fit to the data, but the two parameter first-order models, particularly the model having a rectangular component floatability assumption, is identified as most reliable for the laboratory scale data. The superior model is then applied to the flotation of two copper ores using a variety of collector and frother combinations. Conclusions regarding the chemistry, point of addition, effect of particle size, response in acid circuits and specific mineral affinity are presented.; The work was then extended to the industrial scale and an independent sampling campaign of the Pinto Valley copper concentrator was made. Analysis of this data revealed that conventional mass balancing techniques are not appropriate due to error associated with plant operations and sampling. Rather computational methods distributing error gave better results. The least absolute sum method is superior to the other methods for mass balancing with the current data. Compared to an evaluation done earlier on industrial data found in the literature, the model evaluation showed that the order of preference for the two best models was reversed. The mass balance data and model results give relevant information about plant copper and molybdenum circuit performance. Finally, the overall methodology developed here was used to evaluate the performance of 50,000 tpd copper ore concentrator in Arizona and justify a substantial capital project to improve flotation performance.
