Application of fuzzy control to a flotation process

• The application of fuzzy logic in the control of flotation is studied in this paper. A general description of apatite flotation process is given and a dynamic model is developed. A fuzzy logic controller is proposed for a nonlinear isolated continuous flotation process. The knowledge base of the controller is constructed on the basis of the semi-batch results from the apatite flotation experiments and available knowledge sources. The design of the controller does not need an exact process model. The simulation result shows that the fuzzy logic controller can reduce collector dosage consumption of the apatite flotation process while maintaining the phosphorous content in magnetite concentrate within an acceptable limits less than 0.025% P. Stability of the fuzzy control system is discussed
