Description
1~47~6 VIBRATORY C~ME~ATOR ~OR EX~RA~ION OF ME~ALS
FROM ~HEIR WATER SO~UTIONS
The present invention relates to vibratory cementators for extraction of metals from their water solutions, emplo~ed in metallurgy of non-ferrouæ metals in the processes of hydro-metallurgical extraction of non-ferrous metals, for example, from solutions resulting from leaching of lean ores, i.e.
ores with a low non,ferrou~ metal content, as well as from waste water of non-ferrous metallurgy enterprises, from mine and quarry water.
~ he invention can be utilized to utmost effectiveness for e~traction of copper from solutions by cementation or precipitation on scrap iron (iron shavings, cans, or other forms of iron waste).
At present, the most widely uæed equipment for extraction of metals from their water solutions by cementation are troughs into which scrap iron is placed, whereafter the initial solution is made to flow through these troughs.
~ hese cementation troughs are simple to manufacture and uncostly. However, they require considerable production shop ~pace for their accommodation, and their operation and mainte-nance involves considera~le amounts of manual labour.
Besides 9 cement copper obtained in such troughs is pollu-ted with remnants of scrap iron, which lowers its quality, to sa~ nothing of the content of copper in the cement deposit or precipitate being short of 45...60%.
~ here are known arrangementæ for extraction of metals from their water solutions by cementation on scr~p iron, made ~ i. . ... . .
.
, as a bath having lattice baskets suspe~ded therein on rocker arms, the baskets being periodicall~ rocked in operation.
As compared with cementation troughs, the last-mentioned arrangements occupy less production shop space, owing to the higher level of the la~er of the scrap iron received within the solution.
Eowever, these arrangements have low specific productivity while yielding cement copper of low quality, whereby their more complicated structure does not pay for itself, re~uiring as it does more labour.
Recently there have been introduced arrangements including a frame with a bath fixed thereon, into which plates of cementing metal are submerged and rigidly fixed to a platform provided with a directed-action vibrator.
With the ceme~ting metal being subjected to vibratory oscilla-tion, the rate of the process is increased tenfold and even more. ~his ensures considerable reduction of the floor space occupie~ b~ the apparatus and the volume of the latter itself.
Such apparatus provides for production deposits of a higher quality.
Howev~r, presence of rigidl~ fixed plates which are sub-jected to gradual dissolving complicates the operation of the apparatus and makes the process cyclic, since the apparatus has to be periodically stopped for replacement of the cementing metal.
~ esides, the apparatus of the last-mentioned type has relatively low productivity, since the use of directed oscilla-; - ' ~ ~.
tion limits the structural dimensions of the apparatus b~ the limited volume of the working zone.
In connection with the ever increasing ~uantities of ores with a low metal content being used for processing by the hydrometallurgy method, the volume of the solutions from which metals are supposed to be extracted in the most effi-cient and highly productive plants has been growing steadily.
~ owever, there are at present no apparatus which combine high productivity with the yield of high-quality product at a low cost and minimum amount of manual lahour.
Besides, attempts that have been made to improve the existi~g apparatus fail to overcome a series of obstacles.
One of the main obstacles is the yet unsolved problem of applying vibratory oscillation of a high intensity to the great volume of the working zone 7 while precluding transmis-sion of the oscillation to the framework of the apparatus and its foundation.
Another obstacle consists in the fact that with the pro-cess being carried out under high-duty conditions, there are :, generated galvanic currents of a considerable magnitude, accom-panied by deposition and dissolving of metals in the most un-expected areas of the apparatus.
It is, therefore, the main object of the present inven-tion to provide a vibratory cementator for extraction of me-tals from their water solutions, which should offer a higher productivity than the hitherto known vibratory cementators used for the purpose.

7~6 It is a not less important object of the present inven-tion to provide for a higher quality of the end product (the cement deposit).
It i~ still another obJect of the present invention to step up the reliability of the performance of the vibratory cementator.

These and other objects are attained in a vibratory cemen-tator for extraction of metals from their water solutions, com-prising a bath mounted on a frame~ork, accommodating therein mean~ for agitation of the cementing agent being dissolved, the bath being provided with inlet and outlet connections for the solution and a valve for periodic discharge of the cement de-posit, in which ~pparatus, in accordance with the present in-vention, the mean~ for agitation of the cementing agent being dissolved is made in the form of a perforated receptacle, with metal-ceramic magnets being mounted in the perforations thereof, the perforated receptacle being suspended from the framework with aid of shock-damping means, the perforated receptacle being further operatively coupled with a vibrator and being provided with an annular trough with a connection communicating via a flexible extension piece with the outlet con-nection for the spent solution, mounted in the wall of the bath.
' .
' ~47 With the agitating means made in the form of the perforated receptacle provided with a vibrator, there is ensured more effec-tive agitation of the ceme~ting agent, which increases the out-put of the apparatus.
The provision of the metal-ceramic or cermet magnets in the openings or perforations of the perforated receptacle pre-clude~ transgression of a portion of the cementing agent into the final product, which enhances the ~uality of the cement de-posit.

It is expedient to provide the vibratory cementator with an annular trough with an overflow threshold, the trough being arranged at the top portion of the bath and enclosing therein the perforated receptacle about the periphery thereof, the trough being communicated with the inlet connection for the initial solution.
