Froth feature extraction plays a significant role in the monitoring and control of flotation process. Image-based soft sensors have received great deal interest process due to their low-cost non-intrusive properties. This study proposes data-driven sensor models based on froth images predict key performance indicators The ability multiple linear regression (MLR), backpropagation neural network ...

Impellers play a key role in flotation cells, as the turbulence generated through agitation aids particle suspension, air dispersion and particle–bubble collision. Therefore, it is important to understand effect that different impeller designs have on hydrodynamics, small variations could enhance performance. The study of hydrodynamics is, however, complex task due nature systems, which are opa...
