Uncertainty Modelling and Mixed Sensitivity H∞ Design for a Pilot- Scale Flotation Column
نویسندگان
چکیده
A methodology for modelling and designing H∞ controllers for an experimental pilot-scale flotation column plant is described. Experimental results, including the modelling procedure and an H∞ design, are presented. For this purpose, different models, for different operating conditions, are determined, by means of system identification techniques. A strategy to get the uncertainty model, using a multiplicative nonstructured norm bounded uncertainty is also defined. The complete model is used for an H∞ design using the mixed sensitivity approach. All the results have been tested in a real pilot-scale flotation column operating in a water air system.Copyright c ©2005 IFAC

The Effect of Superficial Feed Velocity on the Column Flotation Recovery in Comparison with the Conventional Flotation Cells
Flotation is the most important process for concentrating mineral ores. This process may occur in any vessel such as column flotation, which has been used widely during the last decade and the conventional flotation cells. The effect of superficial feed velocity on the copper recovery was investigated using pilot-scale column flotation of "Sarcheshmeh Capper Complex". The results were compa...

An efficient method was employed for the ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen using column flotation process. The bitumen samples containing 9.6% sulphur (6.81% in the pyrite sulphur form) and 26.4% ash were successfully showed up to 75.20% of pyrite sulphur (e.g.; 51.66% of total sulphur) and 70.81% of ash removal. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was employed to design the experiments, to ...

متن کاملQuantification of Numerical and Model Uncertainties in the Cfd Simulation of the Gas Holdup and Flow Dynamics in a Laboratory Scale Rushton-turbine Flotation Tank
The gas holdup and flow dynamics in a laboratory scale Rushton-turbine flotation tank were simulated using the dispersed k- turbulence model and Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase modelling approach. The inherent uncertainties in the CFD predictions were quantified by examining the model and numerical (i.e., discretization) uncertainties. The contribution of model uncertainty was explored by conside...
