Claim 14:
15. A system to facilitate adaptive optimization and control of flotation cell processing, the system comprising:
a computing device comprising a processing system, one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
receive a plurality of flotation cell process variables associated with a flotation cell process;
receive a desired system output for the flotation cell process from an industrial controller that controls at least one aspect of the flotation cell process;
input the plurality of flotation cell process variables and the desired system output to a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model is trained to:
process the plurality of flotation cell process variables to determine improved settings for the flotation cell process and a change in performance of at least one component of a plurality of components associated with the flotation cell process based on the input; and
responsively generate the improved settings for the flotation cell process wherein the improved settings comprise an adjustment to a performance curve for the at least one component based on the change in performance of the at least one component;

provide the improved settings for the flotation cell process to the industrial controller; and

the industrial controller comprising a processor, a memory, and instructions stored on the memory that, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
in response to receiving the improved settings, apply the improved settings, including the adjustment to the performance curve for the at least one component, to achieve the desired system output for the at least one aspect of the flotation cell process.
