Abstract
Laboratory testing, plant optimization, and the interpretation and application of metallurgical technologies can be tedious, time consuming, and costly. This paper outlines the use of proven statistical design-of-experimentation software for rapid laboratory testing and optimization of mineral processing of cobaltite ore with limited representative sample utilization.
