Abstract

The paper analyzes the geological and mineralogical features of a pyritic polymetallic deposit. The use of Kohonen neural networks in solving the problem of technological typification of this type of ore is justified, since the flotation process is essentially a multifactorial and nonlinear object. The associative method of analyzing phenomena is more direct and visual than the “implicit” setting of connections or regularities in the form of a formalized mathematical model of a narrow range of phenomena. In the case of Kohonen neural network modeling, the image of a multidimensional space on a single plane in the form of a two-dimensional grid, on which the trend of changes in the processed ore mixture can be applied, is more adequately perceived by the operator. To achieve higher reliability in the identification of topological Kohonen maps for diagnostic purposes a methodology is proposed, which includes the interpretation of calculated average values of studied parameters of all neurons, using the method of factor analysis, design of selected neurons on the plane of the main components Fi – Fj and applying on them the physical values of the vectors of the measured parameters and contour lines of output functions. The developed technology can be introduced at the plant online with the help of express data analysis control, which allows you to promptly change the reagent modes in order to achieve higher metal recovery and better quality of the resulting concentrates.
