Abstract
Image based numerical modeling is a useful tool for investigation of the pattern and dynamics of the rock breakage process. Its usefulness rests on the fact that a difficult step of building a faithful model of rock texture and composition, as a pre-requisite for modeling of rock breakage, is removed. Numerical modeling based on the use of classified digital image of the rock surface, could be particularly effective in the mineral extraction industry, where one of the key objectives is liberation of specific minerals, by providing inside view of mechanisms that are responsible for liberation of valuable minerals embedded into specific ore matrix.
