Controle de processo em laboratório de processamento mineral

Abstract

Process control is of great importance in ore treatment plants. The instrumentation used is incipient in most plants. This is probably due to the absence of this content in the curriculum of technical and undergraduate courses in the mineral processing area. This work aims to present the inclusion of process control using frequency inverters and the Arduino platform, in order to automate the process in mineral processing laboratory equipment. The use of the frequency inverter made it possible to control the processes, such as: feed rate, flow, pressure, force G, frequencies, among others.
