Optimización de Sulfato de Zinc en proceso de beneficio

Goals: Calculate the amount of Zinc Sulfate reagent that maximizes the lead benefit in the process of benefiting a plant in the southern region of the state of Chihuahua. Methodology: Tests were carried out with different amounts of zinc sulfate, on which the variance was calculated and the average benefit value of Lead and Zinc was determined. Then, the equations were obtained that describe the behavior of the benefit of the minerals and the maximum or minimum values with respect to the law were calculated. The optimized sulfate value was calculated and control charts were generated as follow-up to the process. Contribution: By optimizing and standardizing the amount of Zinc sulfate as a reagent in the benefit in a process where it was performed empirically, not only does it have greater control over the results of the law, but also the costs are optimized, considering that the Reagent use is an important input for the process.
