Abstract
Population Balance Model (PBM), most commonly used model for grinding dynamics, has been characterized by large errors in the prediction of multiple independent variables. To address these limitations, we propose a novel framework, TurboPSD, which leverages artificial intelligence models to overcome the lack of flexibility and improve forecasting performance. For the single-fill case, the framework is capable of learning the temporal dynamics between grit size and productivity, achieving a minimum mean squared error of just 0.06%, significantly outperforming the PBM approach, which exhibits an MSE of 11.86%. Furthermore, we extend the framework to multi-fill scenarios by incorporating fill amount as an additional feature. Compared to the PBM’s MSE of 38.08%, the framework demonstrates a substantial improvement, reducing the MSE to 0.26%. Experimental results confirm that TurboPSD Prediction Framework surpasses PBM approaches in terms of accuracy, robustness, and efficiency, demonstrating strong potential for widespread application in mineral processing industry.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
