elling and Simulation of Mineral and
Material Processing Unit Operations
Segregation in a Mixing in a Drum Structure of La Com- Flow of water
Tumbling Mill Mixer plex with PC88A on a Spiral
Mathematical modelling and optimization of various mineral and
simulation helps in gaining material processing unit operations,
insight and understanding of such as, multiple hearth furnace,
different complex phenomena. It hydrocyclone, industrial scale fluidized
is an important tool for process bed roaster, liquid-liquid extraction
parameter optimization for column, spiral concentrator, magnetic
improving performance as well as separator, microfluidic devices etc.
for better design of equipment using
minimum material, energy and Simulating flow of granular material
financial resources using discrete element method (DEM),
which is based on Newton’s law of
Salient Technical Features motion, taking into consideration
collision between particles and
Development of first principle tracking the motion of each particle in
the system. Several mineral processing
continuum models involving equipment have been simulated
using DEM, such as, flow of granular
momentum, heat and mass transport material through hopper, segregation
in a Jig, comminution in tumbling
(e.g. CFD), population balance model, mills, mixing in rotating mixers etc.
as well as empirical models for process
