Modeling and optimization of complex ore pretreatment by disintegration in autogenous mills

The study aims to optimize multi-component polymineral ore mixture ratio after coarse grinding by the criterion of autogenous mill productivity gain. The influence of grain-size composition, as well as physical and mechanical properties of multi-component polymineral ore mixture on autogenous mill productivity are determined using the crushing laws are determined, the effect of the material constitution of the mixture components on the physical and mechanical properties is revealed, and the elements of ore mixture algorithm are developed. The optimization model is elaborated for the polymineral ore mixture ratio in autogenous milling. The optimization model can increase the number of milling bodies and decrease the difficult size grade, which further on can ensure the autogenous mill productivity gain. The model was used as a framework of the productivity control algorithm. The outlines are proposed for the autogenous mill productivity control algorithm by means of iron ore ratio adjustment in the ore mixture as a mathematical model. Since automated control system of ore pretreatment circuit at the studied factory is incompletely equipped with required sensors to provide sufficient information for the mixture making optimization, the mathematical model was simplified. This model will be further used as a framework for the autogenous mill productivity control algorithm.

Keywords: autogenous mill, multi-component ore mixture, complex ore, ore mixture making optimization, productivity, density, coarseness.
