Abstract
This dissertation describes the development of a robust hydrocyclone particle size estimation model that will form the basis of an industrial soft-sensor. Aside from increased throughput, efficient product regulation constitutes the primary function of a milling circuit control system. Before the milling circuit product size can be regulated, it should be measured or estimated. The particle size estimation algorithm developed provides a reliable estimate of the product size and will compliment or replace conventional size measurement devices.
