In order to improve the efficiency and intelligent control level of the flotation system in the coal preparation plant,based on the analysis of the existing problems in the flotation system of the coal preparation plant,a targeted intelligent flotation system was constructed and applied in engineering.An analysis was conducted on the functions,architecture,and on-site construction plan of the intelligent flotation system.After engineering application,the intelligent flotation system constructed ran smoothly,with an increase of about 0.12%in the extraction rate of flotation concentrate and an increase of about 7.9%in the quality fraction of tailings ash.The fluctuation of tailings ash quality fraction was relatively small,achieving good application results.The research results can provide experience and reference for the intelligent transformation of flotation systems in other coal preparation plants.
