Mathematical modeling in the organization of the production process of leaching metals

Abstract

Abstract The following will describe the process of how you can use mathematical modeling to organize the production of metal leaching. Mathematical models and results of computational experiments are presented. The results of studying the thickness of films of sulfuric acid-chloride solutions containing the addition of surfactants surface-active substance (SAS), which are formed when they pour out onto a frosted glass surface as a model of the surface of a piece of ore, are presented. A mathematical model how the film thickness changes depending on the feed rate of the solution and its composition, as well as on the angle of inclination of the glass surface has been determined. Underground leaching of metals from ores stimulates the search for ways and means of intensifying the process. Due to the addition of a surfactant, the leaching process is accelerated, since the thickness of the films of leaching solutions flowing over the surface of ore minerals decreases. This direction is relevant in modern science, and research in this direction the growth of indicators allows the national economy to improve and helps to improve and increase knowledge for further development of the metallurgical industry in Russia The article also discusses the results of studies on the electrochemical leaching of metals from polymetallic ore by sulfuric acid-chloride solutions with the addition of a surfactant with asymmetric current pulses. Mathematical models of the dependence of leaching indicators on the density and duration of the flow of direct and reverse polarity are presented. For ease of perception and better visualization, a table was compiled, which reflects the results of comparative analysis to assess the further possibility of processing secondary raw materials.
