Grinding in a ball mill is a process with high energy consumption; therefore, a slight improvement in its performance can lead to great economic benefit in the industry. The softness of the product of the grinding circuits prevents loss of energy in the subsequent processes. In addition, controlling the performance of a ball mill is a challenging issue due to its complex dynamic characteristics. The main purpose of this article is to use the ground particle size diagram and acoustic signal in ball mill control, and model their relationship based on least squares method. As a result, by extracting useful data from the the acoustic signal, the optimal condition of the ball mill_ in terms of ground particle size and ball mill load (normal, low, high)_ can be achieved. In doing so, this goal, in this article, innovative ideas such as adaptive quantum basis, sparse representation, SVD and PCA-based methods were used. The proposed method has been practically implemented on the ball mill of Lakan lead-zinc processing plant. Also, a prototype of the device was built. The test results show that the optimal load for the studied ball mill is 10t/h. In this case, the ground particle size is 110-120 microns which is ideal for the purposes of this plant. Also, the power spectrum is in the middle frequency band (frequency range of 300-700 Hz). According to the analysis and results, the proposed method will increase the efficiency of the studied ball mill.

This paper aimed to formulate image noise reduction as an optimization problem and denoise the target image using matrix low rank approximation. Considering the fact that the smaller pieces of an image are more similar (more dependent) in natural images; therefore, it is more logical to use low rank approximation on smaller pieces of the image. In the proposed method, the image corrupted with AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) is locally denoised, and the optimization problem of low rank approximation is solved on all fixed-size patches (Windows with pixels needing to be processed). This method can be implemented in parallelly for practical purposes, because it can simultaneously handle different image patches. This is one of the advantages of this method. In all noise reduction methods, the two factors, namely the amount of the noise removed from the image and the preservation of the edges (vital details), are very important. In the proposed method, all the new ideas including the use of TI image (Training Image) and SVD adaptive basis, iterability of the algorithm and patch labeling have all been proved efficient in producing sharper images, good edge preservation and acceptable speed compared to the state-of-the-art denoising methods.
