[0047] Step S1, preprocessing the initial sample set of flotation production conditions to construct a flotation production data set, wherein the preprocessing includes cleaning, interpolation and integration of the data in the initial sample set of flotation production conditions.

[0048] Step S2, defining the concentrate grade and tailings grade, and building a flotation grade mechanism model by combining the mineral particle exchange relationship and mass balance relationship in the flotation process;

[0049] Step S3, performing parameter identification on the flotation grade mechanism model based on a particle swarm optimization algorithm to continuously obtain system identification parameters that are most suitable for the current flotation working conditions;

[0050] Step S4, combining the optimal system identification parameters and the flotation grade mechanism model to perform soft measurement on the flotation grade under the current flotation working condition, and determining the soft measurement value of the concentrate grade and the soft measurement value of the tailings grade;

[0051] Step S5, obtaining a recovery rate index based on the flotation process recovery rate empirical function.

[0052] Specifically, in step S1, the process of preprocessing the data includes:

[0053] The initial sample set of flotation production conditions is denoted as data_orgin, the sample set of flotation production conditions containing outliers is denoted as data_outlier, the initial sample set of flotation production conditions after outlier processing is denoted as data_non_outlier, the initial sample set of flotation production conditions containing missing values ​​is denoted as data_missing, the initial sample set of flotation production conditions after missing value interpolation is denoted as data_non_missing, the initial sample set of flotation production conditions without data integration is denoted as data_non_integrated, the initial sample set of flotation production conditions after data integration is denoted as data_integrated, and the flotation condition data set constructed after data preprocessing is denoted as datasets;

[0054] The flotation production measurement and control platform is used to obtain multi-source characteristic data of flotation conditions, including the input ore volume M obtained from sensors and weighing systems. P , inflation volume Q A , Slurry layer level height h P 、Concentrate amount M C and tailings volume M T , obtain the ore grade η through offline testing P 、Concentrate grade η C and tailings grade η T Therefore, the characteristic of the jth flotation condition of the i-th category in the initial sample set of flotation production conditions is x ij (i=1,2,…,8;j=1,2,…,122), in order to provide prior information of data distribution, the flotation condition characteristics are divided into Gaussian variables and non-Gaussian variables through distribution analysis;

[0055] Different outlier judgment methods are used for outliers of Gaussian variables and non-Gaussian variables:

[0056] If the i-th flotation condition characteristic is a Gaussian variable type, the 3σ principle is used to judge the abnormal value of the i-th flotation condition characteristic: including, obtaining K i The index value of the outlier I k (k=1,2,…,K i ), K i is the total number of outliers, and the mean of the flotation condition characteristics of the i-th type is calculated. and standard deviation s i , the lower boundary Upper Boundary So the upper and lower boundary conditions of the outlier are x ij (j=1,2,…,122)∈[b i min ,b imax ];

[0057] If the flotation condition characteristic of the i-th type is a non-Gaussian variable, the upper and lower quartiles of the box plot are used to determine the outliers: Get K i The index value of the outlier I k (k=1,2,…,K i ), sort the i-th category features in ascending order, record the first quartile as Q1, the third quartile as Q3, the interquartile range IQR = Q3-Q1, the lower boundary Upper Boundary The upper and lower boundary conditions of the outlier are x ij (j=1,2,…,122)∈[b i min ,b i max ],

[0058] Since outliers may contain abnormal information of flotation condition fluctuations, in order to retain the amount of information in the data preprocessing process, on the one hand, and to prevent the data from being too large or too small to conform to the flotation condition, the outlier boundary condition is used. The abnormal values ​​of the i-th type of flotation working condition characteristics are limited.

[0059] Until all the outliers of flotation operating condition characteristics of all categories have been processed, the initial sample set of flotation production conditions after outlier processing is data_non_outlier;

[0060] The jth missing value of the flotation condition feature of type a in the initial sample set data_missing of flotation production conditions containing missing values ​​in data_orgin is The corresponding index value is I l (k=1,2,…,L a ), L a Represents the total number of missing values.

[0062]

[0063] In the formula, R i represent The rank, Q i Represents x ij The rank of (i≠a), R i -Q i For x aj 、x ijThe rank difference of (i≠a), the value range of the correlation coefficient r is -1≤r≤1,

[0064] In order to select features and avoid multicollinearity, decorrelation processing is performed to reduce the computational cost, so the working condition feature category with correlation coefficient |r|≤0.5 is selected as the input feature of BPNN, and the data without missing values ​​in the sample set data_non_outlier is used for training to obtain the BPNN basic interpolation model Ma of class a feature, and the model is saved as a backup for subsequent interpolation.

[0065] Use the BPNN basic interpolation model to interpolate the jth missing value of the a-th type of flotation condition characteristics Interpolation is performed until the flotation condition characteristics with missing values ​​are processed, and the sample set data_non_missing after missing value processing is obtained. Steps S2-S5 are repeated to perform outlier judgment processing on the interpolated values, and the data set data_non_outlier is corrected.

[0066] In order to remove redundant or repeated flotation condition cases, the multi-source data are converted into flotation condition characteristics with unified standards. Therefore, data integration processing is performed on the sample set data_non_integrated containing non-unified standards in the acquired data_orgin to obtain the sample set data_integrated.

[0067] Combine all preprocessed sample sets and the initial sample set data_orgin to construct the flotation production dataset datasets, and the data preprocessing is completed.
