Abstract
In this paper, the modeling of batch drum agglomeration process of selected clay and oxide mineral ores (hematite, quartz, kaolinite and smectite etc.) using population balance model is explored. The coalescence kernels which are linked to feed material and granulator operating conditions are reviewed. The use of a physically based coalescence kernel is shown great promise for the modeling of the granule size distribution of clay and oxide based minerals and both the fundamental material properties and the operating conditions are linked to the model.
