Description

Device and Method for Forced Circulation Fast Floatation Separation Technical Field The invention relates to a separation device and method, particularly applicable for use as a device and method for forced circulation fast floatation separation for floatation and separation of easy-to-float coarse mineral particles or coal particles.
Background At present, the equipment used for mineral floatation separation mainly includes two types of equipment: floatation machine and floatation column. Among them, the floatation machine is considered to be relatively suitable for floatation of coarse mineral particles, and is widely used in industrial practice. According to the working principle, it can be divided into mechanical stirring floatation machine and air floatation machine. In a self-absorption mechanical stirring floatation machine, the pulp is aerated and stirred by rotation of an impeller or a rotor; while an aerated stirring flotation machine is a flotation machine that combines mechanical stirring and externally pressed-in air. An air-compressed flotation machine is fed with compressed air from an external compressor to aerate and stir the pulp. A
gas-precipitating flotation machine changes the gas pressure in the pulp to cause the gas to be separated from the dispersed bubbles in the pulp and stir the pulp. All of the above flotation machines lack an effective mechanism of pulp circulation, mineralization and separation inside single equipment, especially for difficult-to-float mineral particles.
In addition, for the disadvantages of poor floatation and dispersion, slow rising speed and the like present in floatation of coarse mineral particles, the main method for these machines to increase the recovery rate of mineral flotation is to increase the number of flotation machines. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of flotation machine based on the design of a reasonable flotation separation process to make up for the above shortcomings.
