What parameters are needed for column geometry?

To use `calculate_column_geometry`, you need the feed grade, target recovery, and mass flow rate.

How does wash water affect the design?

The `evaluate_wash_water_impact` tool calculates how wash water improves concentrate grade by removing gangue while maintaining the required bias.

Can I optimize the entire circuit at once?

Yes, once you have the column dimensions, you can use `optimize_circuit_parameters` to find the best air flow, wash water rate, and superficial velocity.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing mineral processing column flotation circuits. It allows AI agents to calculate essential physical dimensions such as column height and diameter using calculate_column_geometry. Users can specify air distribution systems via design_sparger_configuration, evaluate the impact of wash water on concentrate purity with evaluate_wash_water_impact, and determine optimal operating setpoints through optimize_circuit_parameters. It is built for metallurgical engineers to bridge the gap between feed characteristics and optimized flotation performance.
