A nonlinear two-phase mathematical model of production at a mining plant is proposed, where ore flow is represented as two phases connected to each other through concentration of useful substance contained in the ore. The process of material balancing is studied, which leads to optimization problem with nonlinear constraints. The interior point method is used to solve the problem. Known measured values of useful substance concentrations are taken into account, as well as the results of indirect measurements, ranges of flow values, unknown concentration values, limits on stored resources. Test experiments are performed, and calculation results are demonstrated.
