A soft‐sensor was developed to estimate the solids flow rates in the streams of a flotation circuit. The algorithm uses metal assays and mass flow rate measurements to perform the estimation. The method performs a recursive least squares estimation of the mass flow rates based on the assumption of mass conservation over a specified time window. The soft‐sensor is programmed into a Vax computer system interfaced with a DCS and is currently used for process control and instrument tuning.
