Sampling Theory for Mineral Process Flows

Current literature dealing with the theory of sampling process flows is limited in scope, a situation addressed by papers presented at conferences author. This paper provides summary methods to quantify variance sound statistical manner. Two calculation are here models for robust estimation covariance/variogram. The strategies acquire data characterisation described. method can be based on special campaigns, analysis on-line measurement data, or historical which may composite samples, such as shift samples. These scenarios all dealt well dynamics. latter demonstrates that use covariance functions drawn from geostatistical practice inappropriate analysis. work supported plant examples and quantitative analyses conditions.
