Optimization of Coal Production Based on the Modeling of the Jig Operation

This paper presents the jig operating properties of the selected final parameters of the hard coal concentrate. The quality parameters of the product, such as the yield and ash content, were evaluated in terms of the technical and hydrodynamic parameters of the jig’s operation. The research program included a series of experiments in which the efficiency and the amount of hutch water were changed. The variables selected and analyzed were divided into two categories, i.e., one related to the characteristics of the concentrate produced, and the other to the characteristics of the jig operation. Models were built for narrowed particle size fractions based on concentrate yield and ash content in the concentrate. In addition, a multidimensional analysis was performed, considering variables such as machine throughput, which was determined by the flow rate of the material, the amount of hutch water, the quality of the concentrate, and the amount of concentrate, as well as the accuracy of the jig operation expressed by the imperfection. Two main parameters were taken into account for modeling the operation to examine their significance of influence on the final responses in terms of the possibility of adjusting the value of independent settings of the jig operation. The presented approach to modeling the operation of the jig can be extended by considering the impact of other parameters, taking into account the variability of the final effect, as long as it is allowed under the industrial conditions of machine operation and the assumed production requirements. The approach presented in this paper is a new technique, which was not found in the literature.
