Flotation Recovery vs Time Calculator
Route actual timed incremental flotation metal collection ledger, no fitted exponential recovery or invented ultimate asymptote. Caller independently verifies units, applicability and matching conditions; no operational recipe, safety certification, causal efficacy or legal/resource classification is inferred.
Description
Incremental flotation collections can be accumulated into a recovery history.
Incremental flotation collections can be accumulated into a recovery history.1
Time order and a matched original feed-metal mass determine the observed fractions.
When to use Flotation Recovery vs Time Calculator
Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Match completed survey or ledger observations by block, segment or stage and confirm their units and boundaries.
How to use Flotation Recovery vs Time Calculator and understand its results
- Match completed survey or ledger observations by block, segment or stage and confirm their units and boundaries.
- Enter observedFlotationCollectionTimesSeconds, observedIncrementalRecoveredMetalKg, observedOriginalFeedMetalKg, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read observedCumulativeFlotationRecoveryFractions. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedFlotationCollectionTimesSeconds | Observed flotation collection times seconds | list of number | Required |
| observedIncrementalRecoveredMetalKg | Observed incremental recovered metal kg | list of number | Required |
| observedOriginalFeedMetalKg | Observed original feed metal kg | number | Required |
Use nonempty aligned nonnegative collection times and incremental metal kilograms, with times strictly increasing and original feed metal>0. Cumulatively sum the increments, reject cumulative metal above original feed, and divide each running total by original feed. One collection is allowed.
cumulativeRecovery_i=Σ_(j≤i)increment_j/feedMetal Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| observedCumulativeFlotationRecoveryFractions | Observed cumulative flotation recovery fractions; dimensionless fraction, not a percent | list of number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Units, ledger boundaries, survey interpretation and model applicability must be independently established. These summaries do not assign reserve/resource classifications or establish support adequacy, ventilation safety or an operating setting.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related step, use Flotation Recovery Calculator: Missing flotation collection increments leave only a known cumulative recovery. For a complementary comparison, use Flotation Rate Constant Calculator: A two-point apparent flotation rate compares log residuals relative to an independently established ultimate recovery.
