elling and Simulation of Mineral and
Material Processing Unit Operations

These studies help in optimizing the Level/Scale of Development:
process parameters for maximizing the
performance of the equipment. Laboratory scale: Hydrcyclone, Spiral,
Magnetic separator, Extraction column,
Design of Experiment techniques, Multiple Hearth Furnace, Hopper, Jig,
which minimizes the number of Tumbling mill.
experiments to develop a working Industrial scale: Fluidized Bed roaster
empirical model, such as neural
network model, regression model EnvironmentalConsiderations
etc., and use conventional as well
as evolutionary (Genetic Algorithm) Pollution free as does not involve
optimization techniques for process experiments
parameter optimization.
