Recent Progress on Data-Based Optimization for Mineral Processing Plants

摘要

In the globalized market environment,increasingly significant economic and environmental factors within complex industrial plants impose importance on the optimization of global production indices;such optimization includes improvements in production efficiency,product quality,and yield,along with reductions of energy and resource usage.This paper briefly overviews recent progress in data-driven hybrid intelligence optimization methods and technologies in improving the performance of global production indices in mineral processing.First,we provide the problem description.Next,we summarize recent progress in data-based optimization for mineral processing plants.This optimization consists of four layers:optimization of the target values for monthly global production indices,optimization of the target values for daily global production indices,optimization of the target values for operational indices,and automation systems for unit processes.We briefly overview recent progress in each of the different layers.Finally,we point out opportunities for future works in data-based optimization for mineral processing plants.
