MILL CONTROL: BALL MILL CONTROL EXAMPLE Process Description The copper concentrator in Pinto Valley, Arizona processes a 0.4% grade copper ore from a nearby open pit mine. The unit operations consisting of crushing, grinding, and flotation process about 65,000 tons of ore per day in six overflow ball mills.

Normal Ball Mill and Grinding Circuit Operation After the grinding circuit has been brought up to normal operating conditions, the operator must monitor the various process variables and alarms. Most of these variables are monitored in the mill control room, however, the operator is also required to sample and analyse process streams and read ...

Stable control of the ball mill grinding process is very important to reduce energy losses, enhance operation efficiency, and recover valuable minerals. In this work, a controller for the ball mill grinding process is designed using a combination of model predictive control (MPC) with the equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) approach.
