Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the South African Council for Automation and Computation (SACAC) first submitted a bid to host the 8th IFAC Symposium on Automation in Mining, Mineral and Metal Processing in Beijing, many obstacles were evident. Most of these were embodied in negative international attitudes to the government of the Republic of South Africa and the apartheid society it supported. However, it is to the credit of the IFAC working group on automation in mining, mineral and metal processing that their application at that time was considered favourably, although not formally accepted. It took a visit to the 10th IFAC World Congress in Sydney and a visible shift in the political scenario to persuade the relevant IFAC committees that South Africa would be suitable for the symposium. A national organising committee was formed under the leadership of SACAC and the South African Institute of Measurement and Control (SAIMC), the South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE) and the South African Institute for Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). The combined team set about organising the first major IFAC international symposium in South Africa since 1976. The theme for the Symposium was based on the need to promote technology transfer and papers which addressed this issue were favoured. With over 50% of the authors from other countries, a significant opportunity for technology transfer into South Africa was created, which is in keeping with the overall theme.

Download or read book Expert Systems in Mineral and Metal Processing written by A. J. Niemi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the metal and mining industries, the use of expert systems for monitoring and control is on the increase. The content of each paper had to include both expert systems, neural networks or fuzzy control. The papers were evenly contributed from industry, universities and research institutes, thus this book provides a valuable insight into the theoretical as well as the practical applications currently in use within the industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paperback. MMM'98 was a meeting of scientists and practitioners from all over the world who presented the state-of-the-art in automating the processes of the basic industries and discussed current development trends in this field. 50 full papers and 12 poster shows were presented out of 90 draft papers; 18 of these 62 contributions were dedicated to problems of mining and minerals processing, 34 to metals processing and 10 to general problems of distributed automation systems.These presentations were accompanied by 3 plenary papers which gave surveys on current developments of common interest for the MMM control community and by a panel discussion on the significance of what is called today Computational Intelligence (knowledge based systems, fuzzy logic and control, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms and programming) in comparison with conventional control methods.The main topics of the contributions were on one hand the application

Department of Energy commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to undertake a study on required technologies for the Mining Industries of the Future Program to complement information provided to the program by the National Mining Association. Subsequently, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health also became a sponsor of this study, and the Statement of Task was expanded to include health and safety. The overall objectives of this study are: (a) to review available information on the U.S. mining industry; (b) to identify critical research and development needs related to the exploration, mining, and processing of coal, minerals, and metals; and (c) to examine the federal contribution to research and development in mining processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the 10th IFAC Symposium on Automation in Mining, Mineral and Metal Processing (MMM 2001), held in Tokyo, Japan, on 4-6 September 2001. This long-running symposium series has established a reputation for providing high-quality and authoritative surveys of the state of research in this economically and politically important application area. The latest conference lives up to this reputation, and this proceedings provides a truly international snapshot of quality research into several areas of mining, mineral and metal processing (MMM) technologies. Historically, research into MMM has set the direction for other areas of automation, and this excellent collection of papers, totalling over 70, is well placed to continue in this tradition.

Download or read book Mineral Processing at a Crossroads written by B.A. Wills and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the increasingly complex mineralogy, and lower grade of many current ore reserves, technology has, over the past decade, had to evolve rapidly to treat these materials economically in an industry which has undergone severe periods of recession. However, most of the technical innovations, such as the increasing use of solvent-extraction, ion-exchange etc., have been in the field of chemical ore processing, and, apart from the use of computers and ever larger unit process machines, there have been few major evolutionary changes in the field of physical mineral processing, where conventional crushing and grinding methods, essentially unchanged in half a century, are followed by the 'old-faithfuls'- flotation, gravity, magnetic and electrostatic methods of separation. Many of these techniques have major limitations in the treatment of 'new' ores such as complex sulphides, and the main purpose of the NATO Advanced study Institute (ASI) "Mineral Processing at a Crossroads" was to review the future of mineral processing. One of the great failings of physical methods is their inability to treat ultra-fine particles, and much research effort is required in this area. Flotation is still the most widely used and researched method for separating minerals, and is the only method which can be used to produce separate concentrates from complex sulphide ores. However, its performance on these 'modern' ores is poor, and it is in this area particularly that chemical methods will increasingly be integrated into plant circuits.
