Simulation of Steady State Performance in Flotation Plants

JKSimFloat is a software program that incorporates selected flotation outcomes of the Australian Minerals Industry Research Association (AMIRA) P9 project, titled 'The Optimization of Mineral Processes by Modeling and Simulation'.  This is a collaborative research project between the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) at the University of Queensland in Australia, the Mineral Processing Research Unit at the University of Cape Town in South Africa and the McGill University in Canada.

JKSimFloat V6.1^PLUS is a user-friendly software package that enables metallurgists and operators alike to assess the impact of various operating and circuit changes on the overall performance of a flotation circuit.  It incorporates a highly flexible structure, allowing current and future flotation models to be included in the simulation.  The current models used in the package have been derived from the AMIRA P9 project and have been used successfully in over 30 sites world-wide.

Development of JKSimFloat V6 is continuing, with funding by a sub-group of Australian Minerals Industry Research Association (AMIRA) P9 sponsors, the Queensland government, JKMRC and JKTech.  The current AMIRA development project (P868A) comprises the incorporation of mass balancing (JKSimFloat V6.2^PLUS), with the facility to import and view mineralogical data.  Future development projects will include the ability to fit the model parameters within the program.
