Summary
The course deepens theoretical knowledge in the field of size reduction and screening, and is dedicated in particular to methods of mathematical modeling of processes of disintegration and separation of minerals with the use of software products.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students are able to carry out a deeper theoretical analysis of sizing and sorting processes. They are familiar with the methods of mathematical modeling of sizing processes and are able to use the appropriate software equipment to design a technological scheme including its balance.
