Experimental Verification of the Correctness of the Probabilistic Model of the Discrete Density Distribution of Layers in the Jig Bed

Abstract

This paper presents the results of tests carried out in a laboratory batch jig that allows to compare the results of the experimental stratification with the modeling results using the probabilistic model of the discrete density distribution of the layers of the jig bed. The distributions of the layers with the given densities obtained from the experiment were compared in detail with the distributions obtained in the model for the same composition of the tested material. Two parameters of this model, determining the quality of enriching in each proven case, fall within the actual range of assessments of known ratings of industrial jigs. Checking of the model shows a very good possibility of its adjustment to the experimental data, which confirms the usefulness of this model as a good tool for forecasting the enrichment results in jigs.
