Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A mineral recovery system for use in a mining operation is described. The mineral recovery system includes a mining operations model generated based on inputs of sensed conditions, wherein the mining operations model incorporates a thickener sub-model and a material sub-model. The mineral recovery system includes a thickener controller to issue commands based on the mining operations model. The mineral recovery system includes a thickener having a process water. The thickener also includes an underflow output provided with an underflow controller to adjust outflow of thickened slurry from the thickener based on issued commands. The thickener further includes an overflow output to dispense clarified water from the thickener.
