## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for mineral processing. It allows AI agents to design complete flotation circuits by calculating physical parameters like residence time and cell count. Using `calculate_circuit_requirements`, agents can determine the necessary circuit configuration. The server also supports balancing recovery and grade through `optimize_stage_distribution`, verifying feasibility with `validate_liberation_efficiency`, and predicting final outcomes via `simulate_circuit_performance`.

## Tools

### calculate_circuit_requirements
Determines the fundamental physical parameters of the flotation circuit based on mineral properties and goals

### optimize_stage_distribution
Adjusts the proportion of the circuit dedicated to Rougher, Scavenger, and Cleaner stages to balance recovery vs. grade

### simulate_circuit_performance
Predicts the final concentrate grade and recovery for a specific circuit configuration

### validate_liberation_efficiency
Assesses if the proposed liberation size is sufficient to achieve the recovery target

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the requirements for a circuit with a flow rate of 500 m3/h, a liberation size of 75 microns, and a recovery target of 85%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The circuit requires a total residence time of 120 minutes, consisting of 5 cells with a total volume of 1000 m3, configured with rougher, scavenger, and cleaner stages.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it feasible to achieve 90% recovery with a liberation size of 50 microns for this mineralogy?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the estimated recovery at 50 microns is 92%, making the 90% target feasible.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the performance of a circuit optimized for grade.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted final grade is 88% with a recovery of 82% and a mass pull of 5.5%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I determine the number of flotation cells needed?**
You can use the `calculate_circuit_requirements` tool. By providing the mineralogy, liberation size, recovery target, and flow rate, the tool calculates the total residence time and the required number of cells.

**Can I optimize the circuit for higher purity?**
Yes. Use the `optimize_stage_distribution` tool and set the priority to 'grade' to increase the proportion of the cleaner stage.

**How can I check if my recovery target is realistic?**
The `validate_liberation_efficiency` tool assesses if the proposed liberation size is sufficient to achieve your specific recovery target.
