IES update: AMIRA P9Q project launched
By Greg Shapland, IES Utilisation Manager
The focus will be on delivering validated multi-component equipment models in the Integrated Extraction Simulator (IES). Following research conducted in P9P, 12 new models will be delivered along with enhancements to IES. The project will run for three years, with initial versions of some models delivered in the first six months.
The project is led by Dr Mohsen Yahyaei from JKMRC (who recently spoke at the CRC ORE Annual Assembly in November). It will involve researchers from several leading institutes. The models to be developed are:
| Model name | Institute(s) responsible | |
| 1 | Particle-Based Flotation Model | University of Queensland |
| 2 | Mechanistic Flotation | University of Cape Town |
| 3 | Pulp Zone | University of Queensland University of Cape Town |
| 4 | Hydro-cyclone | University of Cape Town |
| 5 | Cone Crusher | Chalmers University |
| 6 | HPGR | Hacettepe University |
| 7 | Dry Coarse Screen | Chalmers University |
| 8 | Jig | Federal University of Rio de Janeiro |
| 9 | Dense Medium Separator | Federal University of Rio de Janeiro |
| 10 | VR2 SAG/AG Mill | University of Queensland |
| 11 | Mechanistic Mill | Federal University of Rio de Janeiro |
| 12 | RoM Ball Mill | University of Cape Town |
