DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH OF A COMPUTER MODEL FOR CONTROLLING THE ORE FLOTATION TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE RANDOM FACTORS

Abstract

The problem of optimal control of the flotation process as a problem of stochastic programming is considered. A generalized computer model is developed for the stochastic control of the copper-molybdenum ore flotation technological process, taking into account the impact of the reliability indices of the grinding equipment and the characteristics of the initial ore on the flotation efficiency. The validation and verification of the developed computer model using the control model of the flotation process are conducted.. The developed model is intended for determining the optimal values of the reagent cost and parameters of the ore flotation process.
