The grinding and classification process is an important process of gold ore processing.Realizing the optimization of grinding and classification process is significant to save resources and improve the economic benefit of concentrator.By studing on the grinding and classification process of a domestic gold concentrator,the mathematical model is set up and a simulation system of grinding and classification process is developed based on the simulation software ExtendSim.The structure and functions of simulation system are introduced in detail.As a platform of simulation experiment,the simulation system could help to study the production status of grinding and classification process with different technological parameters.In the simulation example,some simulation tests are designed based on uniform design experimentation to ensure the optimal experiment scheme quickly which choose the rotational speed,the filling ratio and the powder-to-ball ratio of ball mill as factors.In order to obtain the best technological parameters of grinding and classification process,a subsequent series of single factor simulation experiments are implemented.Comparing the multi-bank simulation test results,the optimal parameters of ball mill is obtained under a certain condition of production plan and raw material properties.The simulation results could provide effective reference basis for practical production.
