Development and experimental validation of a texture-based 3D liberation model

• Modeling particle population from 3D texture image acquired using µCT. Incorporate random, preferential, and phase-boundary breakage in the model. Investigate non-random random events experimental comminution. The model explains around 84% of liberation data. Linking ore to process behavior though population. Prediction mineral is one key steps establishing a link between its processing behavior. With rapid development X-ray Microcomputed Tomography (µCT), extension modeling into realms becomes possible. Liberation allows for generation data completely non-destructive manner. This study presents novel texture-based that capable predicting drill core by takes phase-boundary, account with differing relative contributions depending on itself. was calibrated measured After calibration, found be explaining average variance generated can used particle-based simulation evaluate responses various textures subjected modes breakage.
