Digitalization in Mining and Mineral Processing – a New Solution for Potential Increasing the Metals Recovery
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The paper deals with issues of increasing the recovery of useful copper minerals through the application of specific production scheme. A new model of production presented in the paper is connected with technology for monitoring and control of copper ore processing and is based on artificial intelligence. The technology operates at the copper flotation stage and consists of a vision system for analysis of flotation froth images. Image processing algorithms determine the characteristics of the froth and on that basis are capable of modifying and optimizing the flotation process course. The article characterizes the concept and expected outcomes resulting from the implementation of this technique.
