Course Objectives

• Introduce the principles of the AMIRA P9 flotation model
• Introduce the features of JKSimFloat V6.1^PLUS
• Construct and simulate mineral processing flowsheets
• Present simulation results using the reporting and graphics facilities

Course Outline
A one day workshop tailored for "practitioners" focuses on the practical aspects of the measurement and simulation tools available to realise optimum operation of the flotation circuit.  Following an introduction to flotation modelling and field measurements participants will be given a comprehensive description and demonstration of the JKSimFloat software with several hands-on tutorials and simulation case studies.  The topics covered will include:

• Introduction to flotation optimisation
• Current flotation modelling
• Mechanics of flotation and cell hydrodynamics
• Froth recovery and entrainment
• Principles of Floatability component estimation
• Simulation

This course will have a heavy emphasis on 'hands-on' work and one computer is required for each two attendees.

Course Materials
All attendees receive a copy of the Course Notes.

Course Attendees
This workshop is designed for those who wish to advance their knowledge of the tools available to improve flotation circuit performance.
