A dynamic flotation model for predictive control incorporating froth physics. Part I: Model development

A methodology to implement a closed-loop feedback-feedforward level control in a laboratory-scale flotation bank using peristaltic pumps

“…It should be mentioned that the final aim of this work is to ensure a robust regulatory control layer to implement a superior optimal control layer based on advanced controllers, such as an economic model predictive control strategy. Such an advanced control strategy will need a flotation dynamic model, as found in [13 , 14] .…”

Development and Validation of a Dynamic Model for Flotation Predictive Control Incorporating Froth Physics

“…In this study, we propose a novel dynamic flotation model for MPC purposes. The full model development can be found in [9]. Our model differs from the others found in previous studies since, for the first time, the physics of the froth phase is included for control.…”
