Description

AUSTRALIA
Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Applicants: ADAM JOHN BRADLEY MICHAEL KITNEY Invention Title: A BALANCE The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us: 2- A BALANCE The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for use by mineral plant operators to determine a range of properties of mineral solids and slurries.
Most mineral processing plants include mineral processing operations on slurry streams of water and solids transported through circuits via pumps and pipelines. It is important for plant operators to measure the properties of slurries at different stages of a plant operation in order to monitor the performance of the circuits in the plant.
It is by calculating: known to monitor the performance of a plant slurry density, ie the weight of per unit volume; (ii) specific gravity of a slurry, ie of the density of the slurry and density of water; the slurry the ratio the (iii) slurry percent solids, ie weight of solids in a slurry per unit weight of slurry or per unit volume of slurry; and (iv) grams solid per litre of slurry sample.
A widely used option for calculating these properties is a spring balance which includes a central spring, a measuring bucket that can be suspended from the H:Angel aheep\GRM SpCR60675-99.doc 22/11/06 IND- 3- O spring, a pointer that is deflected proportionally to the weight of a sample in the bucket, and a display mechanism 0 for providing a reading of the specific gravity or other C properties of the sample based on the position of the c 5 pointer in relation to the display mechanism.
0 One limitation of spring balances with slurries Sis that the operation of the balances is based on the assumption that the specific gravity of the process solution is always 1.0. This characteristic limits the use of spring balances to simple water-solids systems.
A further limitation is that spring balances are mechanical devices containing a number of unprotected moving parts and are susceptible to corrosion by and clogging with process materials with consequent loss of accuracy and functionality. The operation of spring balances relies on the sustained performance of the spring and a drive gear for the pointer. Distortion of the spring can be corrected by a coarse adjusting screw, but again the serviceability of this simple calibration device is susceptible to the harsh operating conditions that are typically found in the mineral processing environment.
Spring balances are often ultimately discarded as service and repair is difficult.
A further limitation is that spring balances are bulky in that a machine of a useful size is both heavy and awkward to carry and position for satisfactory use.
A further limitation is that spring balances are prone to structural vibration which makes interpretation of the displayed results difficult. This is a particularly significant operational limitation because the most common points of use in a mineral processing circuit are adjacent to mills, pumps and screens where structural vibration is commonplace.
H \ageIa~ft p\GRM SpeciA6067S.99doc 2211/06 4- A further limitation is that the display 0 z mechanism of spring balances consists of interchangeable C paper face sheets which allow operators to determine the Cl 5 solids concentration of a sample over a range of selected particle densities and a number of different face sheets 00 are required to span the range of typical mineral M densities. Changing the range of the readout is accomplished by changing the paper dial on balances. This I 10 operation exposes the pointer to damage, thus compromising the accuracy of the balances.
A further limitation is that accuracy of spring balances is low. The balances are an analogue device which is characterised by the following requirements for ideal operation: clean conditions; (ii) absence of external vibration; (iii) invariant solution density of 1.0; and (iv) good lighting.
In addition, the quality of the output of spring balances is compromised by the following: coarse calibration function; (ii) non-continuous solids specific gravity scales; and (iii) non-linear output scales which are partially obscured by the width of the pointer.

ID Unlike the spring balances which require an c exact volume of 1000 ml of sample for the determination of commonly measured slurry properties and solids specific gravity and subsequent manual calculations to arrive at a result the balance of the present invention will accept any volume of sample.
Furthermore, unlike the spring balances which require an exact amount of 1000 grams of solids for the determination of solids specific gravity and subsequent manual calculations to arrive at a result the balance of the present invention will accept any amount of solids and return a precise result for specific gravity in a single operation. This attribute of the present invention makes it easy to deal with broken rock samples which cannot be easily sub-divided to an exact weight.
The apparatus of the present invention is both mechanically simple and robust. It has no moving parts.
The high resolution load cell is protected from the environment by the unit's corrosion resistant, stainless steel construction. The electronic heart of the unit is protected by an IP65 rated housing and the whole unit is constructed with inherent shock resistance.

O balance involving the use of a known weight which maintains the validity of the load cell output. The balance features z a multiple stack output memory which enables the operator to access the full range of the unit's subroutines and then C 5 retrieve the generated data by scrolling through the memory stack. This output is preferably displayed on a backlit 00 liquid crystal display (LCD) which eliminates the need for Sexcellent local lighting conditions.
