Abstract: The problem of estimating grades and flotation parameters in a bank of flotation cells is investigated. From extensive simulation studies with both single-cell and multi-cell processes, an estimator based on an aggregate model of the bank is developed to estimate concentrate grades and aggregate flotation parameters. Specific results from the estimator´s performance in a real flotation plant are reported.
