Abstract
The paper presents a scheme of conducting ANOVA, which can be a statistical method using for the analysis of various complex phenomena in different fields of science. It is mainly focused on presentation of different areas of application at statistical model, especially in mineral engineering. Selected experiments in which ANOVA was used successfully to study the process of flotation and properties of three types of coal are presented in this study. Mineral resources are characterized by different properties and the flotation process depends on many factors which must be carefully controlled to obtain an expected separation efficiency of the process under industrial conditions. These facts determine the complexity of mineral processing structure. This choice of ANOVA was dictated by the adjustment of methodology to the nature of the analyzed phenomena. Based on this analysis it can be stated that the analysis of variance is appropriate to consider problems associated with the mineral engineering. The examples described in the paper confirmed a high potential which ANOVA carries. However, it should be noted that the one-dimensional analysis of variance has some limitations.
期刊介绍:
Mining Scince. Scientific Papers of the Department Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of the Wroclaw University of Technology. The journal publishes original papers on mining and geology, geo-engineering and the related issues. The journal is devoted to the following topics: fundamental research in mining, underground and open-cast mining technologies, blasting technology, design and construction of mines, geomechanics and geotechnical engineering, mine ventilation, fluid mechanics and its application in mining, mining machinery and condition monitoring, mineral processing, environmental protection and waste utilization. The journal also accepts papers concerns geoengineering which is a sciences covering mining construction, geotechnical engineering, GIS, and earth sciences.
