Mathematical Modeling of Kinetics and Optimization of Grain Material Separation Processes on Sieve Classifiers

Abstract

A mathematical model of the kinetics of thin-layer separation of granular materials on multiple-deck sieve classifiers was constructed based on the theory of Markovian processes. We identified the kinetic models using the oversize residues from sieves. The problem of optimization is formulated and solved in a multi-criteria formulation, where the criteria are selected device performance and the separation efficiency on its sieves.
