Cover Story: Locating the optimum operating points for the maximisation of flotation recovery and concentrate grade can be a very difficult task, owing to the inverse relationship that exists between these two key performance indicators. This work extracted well-assessed Gaussian process predictive functions to act as objective functions for a comparative and multiobjective optimisation study using the pareto search algorithm (PA) and the controlled elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (controlled-NSGA-II). The main aim was the concomitant maximisation of copper recovery and concentrate grade. Comparison of the two applied techniques revealed that the PA discovered the best set of pareto-optimal solutions for the maximisation of both recovery (93.4%) and concentrate grade (17.4 wt.%). View this paper
