Development and Application of Flotation Intelligent Dosing Control System
In view of the low accuracy,untimely adjustment,large deviation of personnel operation and high unit consumption of flotation reagents in the manual control mode of flotation reagents addition in concentrators,a set of flotation intelligent dosing control system is developed.The system combines the hardware of the metering pump automatic dosing machine and the foam image unit.The metering pump auto-matic dosing machine realizes the remote precise control of the reagent,and the foam image unit feeds back the foam information of the on-site flotation tank to the intelligent control system to realize the unified,time-ly and effective intelligent control of the flotation reagent.After the system is put into operation for a period of time in the copper flotation process of the concentrator,the recovery rate index and the unit consumption of the reagent before and after the input are compared.It can be seen that after the flotation intelligent dosing control system is put into operation,the recovery rate index of flotation copper increases by 0.36 percentage points,and the average unit consumption of collectors and foaming agents decreases by 16.56%.The flota-tion intelligent dosing control system can effectively reduce the unit consumption of reagents and bring good economic benefits while improving the flotation recovery rate index,which is worthy of popularization and application.
