In this study, modeling and optimization of different morphological feature parameters depending on the flotation recovery of the sphalerite sample was investigated by the Response Surface Method (RSM). The effect on the flotation recovery depending on the roughness value, shape factor and collector concentration was investigated using the central composite full design method. The results were evaluated by analysis of variance, the optimization of the models was made and the accuracy was discussed. According to the roughness studies, the optimum roughness value was found to be 2.9071 µm and the optimum collector concentration was 0.001 M. Against these optimum values, the flotation recovery was found to be 98.01%. Similarly, in shape factor studies, the optimum roundness value is 0.7421, the optimum collector concentration is 0.0009 M, and the flotation recovery is 94.30% against these optimum values. It was concluded that the average error rate between the optimization results and the experimental results was lower than 6%, and R2 values greater than 90% were obtained, so the model was compatible.
