Abstract
The evaluation of batch experimental of data from laboratory and pilot testwork e.g. batch leaching of metal from sulphide ores, may be util ised to determine the optimum process conditions. Statistical analysis techniques should allow for the rime-dependent nature of the data as failure to recognise and correct for such rime dependency may lead to incorrect interpretation of the data. This paper illustrates a correct ive technique for time-dependent batch data. The technique is demonstr ated using a typical data set from a batch bioleach experiment. (C) 19 97 Elsevier Science Ltd.
