Description

Cyclone jet micro-nano bubble flotation column
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nonferrous metal, ferrous metal, rare metal, noble metal and nonmetallic mineral flotation or industries such as petroleum, sewage and papermaking, and relates to a pulp flotation device, in particular to a cyclone jet micro-nano bubble flotation column.
Technical Field
"flotation" is an essential key technology for the mining and metallurgy industry. "flotation" means a technological process for separating useful minerals from ores based on differences in the physicochemical properties of the surface of the mineral particles, and is the most widely used beneficiation process. Along with the increasing development and utilization degree of mineral resources by human beings, the content of useful components in ores to be subjected to flotation treatment is lower and lower, the dip dyeing granularity is finer and finer, the components are more complex and difficult to select, the flotation technology is promoted to be continuously developed due to the continuous expansion of the flotation field, and the demand for large-scale flotation columns is also increased; in some cases, achieving monomer dissociation means that the material needs to be ground down to a particle size of less than 20 microns. However, as the particle size of the ore decreases, the flotation behavior of the mineral particles changes fundamentally, and conventional flotation processes can only treat those minerals that are floatable and easy to float, and have no special requirements for flotation agents, flotation techniques, flotation equipment, and the like, but it is difficult to fully recover these useful fine-size minerals.
Therefore, the separation of the minerals with coarse particles more than or equal to 90 mu m and fine particles less than or equal to 20 mu m is always a great difficulty facing the world mineral separation industry, and the fine minerals are mainly characterized by small mass, large specific surface area and high surface energy. The mass is small, so that the collision probability of the hydrophobic ore particles and the bubbles is small, the energy barrier between the ore particles and the bubbles is difficult to overcome, the hydrophobic ore particles are adhered to the surfaces of the bubbles, and the effective mineralization of the ore particles and the bubbles is realized. The specific surface area is large, the surface energy is high, so that non-selective agglomeration is easy to occur between gangue mineral particles and useful mineral particles, the phenomenon of foam inclusion is caused, and the grade of concentrate is reduced. In order to solve the problem that the micro-fine particle minerals are difficult to float due to the quality effect and the surface effect, researchers at home and abroad have conducted a great deal of research on the technology and equipment of the floatation column, and under the background, a plurality of new technologies and new equipment of the floatation column appear, thereby showing good prospects for column type separation of coarse particle minerals and fine particle minerals.
The development history of the flotation column, the design idea of the flotation column starts in 1915. In 1961, canadian engineers BouTTin developed a flotation column with a foam flushing water device of modern significance, and then quickly raised the hot flashes of research and development applications of the flotation column in China. After the 80 s of the 20 th century, flotation columns have greatly progressed in bubble generators, aeration performance and operation stability under the guidance of some new design ideas, and many efficient flotation columns such as FloTaire flotation columns, MTU type filling medium flotation columns, cyclone aeration flotation columns and the like have been gushed out. Among the many types of flotation columns, the most representative is the jameson flotation column designed by the jameson professor in 1987, which has a brand new breakthrough in structure, feeding mode and separation mechanism, and solves a series of problems caused by column height. The research of fine-fraction mineral flotation is developed by taking a flotation column as a center, and the research on the aspects of bubble gas production mode, a flotation column structure, a flotation system provided with various detection and control devices and the like becomes the research and development direction of flotation equipment in the future.
Flotation columns are under study and progress, several types of flotation columns:
Jameson (Jameson) flotation columns, jameson flotation columns, in which pulp passes through a nozzle to form a jet into a conduit, the vacuum created by the jet draws air in and bubbles the pulp Chi Jianqie, the downcomer corresponds to a "reactor" and concentrate froth product is discharged from the flotation cell. The column has the advantages that: (1) realizing a split flotation strategy of mineralization and separation; (2) short column, industrial flotation column height of only 2.0 meters; (3) The retention time of ore particles is short, the air content of ore pulp is high, and the flotation efficiency is high; (4) The pulp is sucked through the jet flow to form negative pressure, and the power equipment is a feed pump. The column has the following defects: (1) The retention time of ore pulp is short, and the multi-section scavenging (2) is often required, the ore feeding fluctuation is large, and the separation is unstable; (3) And a 'gas bomb' is formed in the column body, so that the sorting effect is influenced.
Filling medium flotation column the filling flotation column developed by michigan industry university in the united states is filled with filling medium in a conventional flotation column with layers of filling deck arranged in 90. The small and tortuous pore canal makes ore grains and bubbles closely contacted, and the sorting effect is enhanced. The pan feeding is given from the main part middle part, and the bottom lets in compressed air, and concentrate overflows from the top and discharges, and tailing is discharged from the bottom, and the top sets up water jet equipment. Besides the advantages of the traditional flotation column, the flotation column also solves the problems that bubbles of the traditional flotation column are easy to merge and are easy to generate strong turbulence to form flow patterns such as turn-ups, and the like, and a bubble generator which is easy to scale and block is eliminated. The column is filled with a plurality of layers of wave-shaped media to form a plurality of regular tortuous channels, and compressed air entering from the lower part forms uniform bubbles and carries hydrophobic mineral particles to float upwards when passing through the channels. The filling type flotation column effectively implements the basic column flotation process of bubbling, mineralizing and separating, but the defects of easy blockage of filling materials and high manufacturing cost not only affect the implementation effect of filling, but also affect the industrial application of the filling type flotation column.
Jet flotation column, jet flotation column is a novel flotation device which is researched and developed by Jiang Zhiwei doctor according to the principle of free jet flotation. Lu Shijie A novel downward downstream jet type flotation column-KYZ type flotation column is provided according to jet flow theory. Nfmeseheariakov et al, russian moscow university, developed a flotation column with jet aerator, which has a good flotation effect on larger-sized minerals, has been widely used for flotation of 3-0.8 mm size fraction potassium salt and 2-0.5 mm size fraction diamond, and achieved a good technical index that the unit production efficiency is several times higher than any other type of flotation machine. The novel K phi M series flotation column developed by the Ula mineral separation research institute consists of a jet aerator, a microbubble generator, a central flotation tube, a discharging device and a foam collecting tank. The flotation column eliminates the phenomenon of convective movement of ore particles and bubbles in the conventional flotation column, and can realize roughing, selecting and scavenging operations in one flotation device.
The cyclone-static micro-bubble flotation column comprises a column separation section, a cyclone separation section and a pipe flotation device. The whole equipment is a column, the column separation section is positioned at the upper part of the whole column, a spray water pipe and a foam concentrate collecting tank are arranged at the top of the column, and finally concentrate is discharged from the column separation section; the ore feeding point is positioned at the middle and upper parts of the column separation section, the cyclone separation section adopts a separation cyclone structure and is in through connection with the column separation section in an upper and lower structure, and finally tailings are discharged from a bottom flow port of the cyclone separation section. The pipe flotation device is arranged outside the equipment cylinder body, and the outflow pipe of the pipe flotation device is connected with the cyclone separation section cylinder body along the tangential direction and is equivalent to a tangential feeding pipe of the separation cyclone. The tube flotation device comprises a bubble generator and a flotation tube section. The bubble generator introduces gas by means of jet flow and pulverizes the gas into bubbles, the pressurized circulating ore pulp enters the bubble generator to form a three-phase system containing a large amount of bubbles and realize turbulent mineralization, and then enters the cyclone separation section at a high speed along the tangential direction. Thus, the tube flotation device completes flotation aeration and turbulent mineralization, and forms a rotational flow force field at the bottom of the flotation column in a tangential mode, thereby realizing a continuous separation process.
Other flotation columns
1. A mechanically agitated flotation column. The capability of a common flotation column for floating coarse-grained minerals is low, and a mechanical stirring mechanism, such as a WemCo/Leeds flotation column, is added into the flotation column to improve the coarse-grained flotation effect. The flotation column is provided with a mechanical air charging stirring device, and coarse grains are stirred uniformly and are not easy to precipitate; several layers of barrier medium rollers are arranged in the column, and the grade of concentrate can be controlled by automatically adjusting the gap between the rollers; and adding flushing water at the top of the column to remove gangue inclusion in the foam.
2. And (3) a steady flow plate flotation column. Aiming at the problems of axial mixing and foam combination, the university of Mitsui technology develops a flotation column with a horizontal flow stabilizing plate, and the horizontal flow stabilizing plate consists of a plurality of simple plates with holes. Furthermore, meloy et al, university of West Virginia, U.S. propose a two-dimensional flotation column, the interior of which is divided into a plurality of cells by packing, thus allowing the production of a set of products of continuously varying grade, similar to a shaker.
Lm flotation cell. The equipment comprises a flotation tank, a column, a pre-pump buffer tank and a pump. The ore pulp enters a buffer tank in front of the pump, then the pump is used for beating a column body vertically downwards, compressed air is introduced, the mixing of the ore pulp and bubbles is completed in the column body, and feeding is provided for the flotation tank. This high intensity mixing allows the slurry to complete particle collection in a very short period of time with a high recovery rate. Froth is discharged from the bottom of the column into the flotation cell and a thicker froth layer is formed in the upper part of the cell. The LM flotation cell is a new type of flotation equipment. It can be used for treating non-magnetic, magnetic and non-metallic minerals.
4. A microbubble flotation column. The device adopts the mineralization separation mode of the traditional flotation column, and highlights the 'micro-bubble effect' of flotation. The "revolutionary" contribution of this flotation column is a revolution in the frothing mode the fluids are mixed into bubbles (in particular embodiments with static stirring vanes). The idea of improving column separation efficiency by using the fluid mixing as bubbles and the "micro-bubble effect" has been commonly adopted in the design of flotation columns.
Bubble generators have been developed, and the bubble generators of flotation columns can be classified into inner and outer foamers according to the foaming mode and foaming device. The foaming method, which is a bubble generation method commonly used in recent years, mainly includes the following methods:
1. and (5) shearing contact foaming. The slurry and gas flowing at high velocity are contacted in a suitable manner, such as by a metal mesh or a packing medium to create bubbles. The shearing contact foaming is to crush gas into bubbles by using a gas-liquid mixing process, wherein the bubble size mainly depends on the turbulence level of liquid and the continuous mixing time, and finally reaches the critical bubble size matched with the energy state of a system.
2. And (5) microcellular foaming. The gas is foamed by microporous plastic, rubber, canvas, nylon, microporous ceramic tube or pebble layer. The microporous material cannot fully play a role because the microporous foaming is easy to block, and the size of bubbles is directly increased due to the increase of the air charging amount (pressure), so that the method is adopted less at present.
3. And (5) reducing pressure or heating to foam. The solubility of air in water is about 2% and when the pressure is reduced or the temperature is raised, dissolved gas precipitates to create bubbles.
4. And (5) jet foaming. Either the pressurized gas stream injected into the slurry or the slurry injected gas stream may produce bubbles suitable for flotation. The method is that liquid is changed into disperse phase, then the gas is gradually changed into continuous phase with pressure increase, and then the gas is gradually dispersed into microbubbles from the initial continuous phase. Jet frothing technology is a great revolution of bubble generation technology.
5. The electrolysis of water generates bubbles. The electrolysis water principle is utilized, under the condition of power on, the electrolysis mode is adopted to make water be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, the diameter of the hydrogen and the oxygen generated by electrolysis is tiny, the bubble quantity can be controlled by current regulation, and the micro-bubble flotation by utilizing the electrolysis water technology is an innovation of the bubble generation technology.
Internal foamer
1. A filter tray type foamer. A layer of filter cloth is covered on a filter disc of the disc filter and is horizontally placed at the bottom of the flotation column, namely the foamer. The bubble generated by the foaming device is uniform but is easy to wear.
2. A riser foamer. A plurality of risers with diameters of 40mm-75mm and heights of 300mm-500mm are uniformly distributed at the bottom of the flotation column and are connected with a pressure controller pipe network. The interface of the upper section and the lower section of each vertical pipe is provided with a porous medium material. Such internal foamers are prone to clogging because the sludge tends to settle on the porous media surface.
3. A gravel bed foamer. Placing gravel with diameter of 8-20 mm between the upper and lower layers of sieves to form a gravel bed with thickness of 300-600 mm. Such a foamer is less clogged but produces bubbles of large diameter.
External foamer
1. Water/air jet inflators. Such inflators fall into 3 categories: turbo air type, floTair type and CESL type. The TurboAir model was developed by the united states mining agency. Glass balls or quartz particles are filled in an aerator with an inner diameter of 50mm, and fine bubbles with a diameter of 0.1mm-0.3mm are generated under high pressure. The FloTair type bubbler manufactured by deisitercon centrator, usa, disperses pressurized air from an external disperser into a tank through an aeration plate inside the machine, and operates under a pressure of 300Ka to 480Ka and a flow ratio of air to water of about 30, to generate fine bubbles having a diameter of about 0.1 mm. CESL type aerators are produced by CominCoEngieeringServiCeLTd (CESL) company in Canada in 1988, gas dispersers outside the flotation column produce air-water mixtures, dispersed into flotation jets through metal pipes, the pressure is operated at 300Ka-600Ka, the bubble diameter is 0.3mm-0.4mm, the gas content can be ensured to reach 50% and the porous metal pipes can be replaced in operation, and the operation rate is higher. CESL inflators are widely used in North America, south America, and south Africa, among others.
2. Air jet inflator. The MinovEX technologies company of Canada developed a mechanism for generating bubbles by blowing only air (air jet body) without using water. The aerator is of a simple structure consisting of a needle valve and a bubble spraying hole, has large aperture, can not be blocked because the surface is covered by ceramic, has a service life as long as 2a, and has a generated bubble diameter of 0.5-3.0 mm, and is easy to use.
Minnovex static mixer. The mixer utilizes the ore pulp and gas flowing at high speed to form bubbles under the action of the shearing piece, has the characteristics of easy replacement and on-line regulation and control of the size of the bubbles, but has higher processing precision requirement.
4. A porous venturi. When water flows through the porous pipe at high speed, the pressure in the pipe is lower than the atmospheric pressure, air spontaneously enters and is mixed with the water, and bubbles are generated under the high-speed shearing action of the porous medium. When the pressure is released, a large amount of microbubbles are separated out and then enter the cyclone section along the tangential line.
5. A cyclone type aerator. Centrifugal force in the cyclone flotation machine enables ore pulp and bubbles to be fully mixed, and air can be fed automatically or pressed in. The centrifugal force moves the ore particles to the tank wall, and the air bubbles rise to the inner side, so that the flotation effect on fine-grained minerals is good, but the separation of coarse-grained and high-density minerals is unfavorable.
The research of bubble mineralization mode is advanced, the early flotation column mineralization mode mostly adopts a countercurrent mineralization mode, and later along with the continuous progress of the flotation column technical research, the countercurrent mineralization, the forward mineralization, the tube flow or the centrifugal mineralization, the mineralization modes of a plurality of mineralization combinations and the like appear.
Countercurrent mineralized flotation columns, countercurrent collision mineralized flotation columns such as CPT flotation columns, FXZ full static flotation columns, and the like. CPT flotation column. The flotation column was developed by Canadian technology, whose core is its air dispersion system, of which there are four types, the latest being SlamJeT and SParJeT dispersers. The ore pulp treated by the flotation reagent is fed from a position about 1m-2.0m below the top of the column, and a gas disperser which can be disassembled, assembled and overhauled from the outside of the column is arranged near the bottom of the column. Microbubbles generated by the gas disperser freely rise under the action of buoyancy, mineral particles in ore pulp freely descend under the action of gravity, the rising bubbles collide with the descending mineral particles in the collecting area, and the hydrophobic mineral particles are captured and attached to the bubbles, so that the bubbles are mineralized. Mineralized bubbles loaded with useful mineral particles continue to float and enter a fine separation area, and are gathered at the top of the column to form a mineralized foam layer with the thickness of 1m, the foam layer is cleaned by flushing water flow, so that gangue particles which are entrained and enter the foam layer fall off from the foam layer, and further, higher-grade concentrate is obtained. The tailings slurry is discharged from the bottom of the column, and the entire flotation column is kept operating under "positive bias flow" conditions. FXZ all static flotation columns. FXZ static flotation columns are developed by Beijing school of China mining university and comprise static flotation columns and drop boxes matched with the static flotation columns. There is no rotational flow in the flotation column, ore pulp floats from top to bottom and flowing bubbles float from bottom to top, the target ore particles are adhered to the bubbles after colliding with the bubbles, the ore concentrate foam floats upwards to the top overflow for discharge, and the tailings are discharged along with the water flowing to the bottom. The falling box is provided with no moving part, the flotation reagent is sprayed into the falling box in a milk drop shape through high-pressure air and is mixed with the flotation feed, ore pulp flows from top to bottom due to the action of gravity, the reagent and ore particles are fully contacted in the flowing process, the floatability of target minerals is improved, and the flotation speed and the treatment capacity of a flotation column can be improved after the target minerals enter the flotation column.
The forward flow mineralization flotation column introduces air by utilizing a jet flow principle, a conical shrinkage pipe of the flotation column is connected with a horn pipe in an empty chamber, when high-speed water flows from the conical shrinkage pipe to the horn pipe, a larger flow speed is formed at an outlet of the conical shrinkage pipe due to gradual reduction of the water flow section, so that the pressure at the outlet is reduced to be lower than the atmospheric pressure, and negative pressure is formed in an air suction chamber, so that the air enters the empty chamber from the outside. A reflective false bottom is arranged at the bottom of the separation tank and is used for crushing air carried by high-speed water flow into bubbles and dispersing the bubbles into the whole separation tank. The device has the advantages of smaller bubble diameter, higher air retention amount, more uniform air dispersion, simple structure, convenient operation, no moving parts and better sorting index.
Tube flow mineralization flotation columns, including jet flotation columns, jameson flotation columns, and the like, with Jameson flotation columns being the most typical. The Jameson flotation column is developed in Australia, and its working principle is that ore pulp with regulated chemical agent is pumped into the mixing head of the lower conduit through the feeding pipe, and jet flow is formed through the nozzle to produce a negative pressure area, so that air is sucked to produce bubbles, ore particles collide with the bubbles in the lower conduit to mineralize, the downstream flow is discharged from the bottom opening of the conduit into the separation column, the mineralized bubbles rise to the foam layer at the upper part of the column, after being carefully selected by flushing water, the ore pulp flows into the ore concentrate chute, and the tailings are discharged through the cone opening at the bottom of the column. The inflatable stirring device is a key component of the Jame-son flotation column, adopts a jet pump principle, converts pulp pressure energy into kinetic energy from a nozzle, forms negative pressure in a sealing sleeve, and sucks air from an air conduit. Through the sealing sleeve, jet flow wraps the gas and enters the mixing sleeve, and under the action of the highly turbulent fluid, the gas is divided into bubbles and is continuously collided and adhered with ore particles, so that mineralization is obtained. The disperser is equivalent to a static impeller and uniformly disperses the vertical downward ore pulp along the radial direction.
The cyclone mineralization flotation column is provided with a cyclone inflatable flotation column. The flotation column was developed by university of Utah. The ore pulp is fed in a tangential direction with a certain pressure, air enters from the porous column wall, foam products are discharged through upward movement of the inner spiral, and settled sand is discharged from the bottom. The equipment has high efficiency, but the wall abrasion is serious. The high-efficiency aeration mineralization mode is provided, which corresponds to countercurrent mineralization, and the bubbling and mineralization processes of the high-efficiency aeration mineralization mode are characterized by being vertical. Under the background of a centrifugal force field with higher intensity, the vertical mineralization mode not only improves the mineralization efficiency of flotation, but also reduces the lower limit of flotation granularity. And the gravity separation function in the centrifugal force field is added to form the comprehensive force field advantage of fine material separation.
The forward-reverse flow multistage mineralized flotation column is developed by Russian IOTT research institute, and the volume of the flotation column tank is 1580m < 3 >, and the height is 4.6m. Because each column has different hydrodynamic and aeration states, and the flow rate and the residence time of ore pulp can be adjusted by changing the section of the column, different floatable particles can be recovered. Along with the deep research of the flotation column, according to the characteristics of the developed flotation column, the mineralization mode of the flotation column bubble also presents diversified characteristics, and the mineralization mode of various combinations becomes an important direction of the research of the flotation column.
The world maximum flotation machine (Germany and the United states) has the volume of 600 cubic meters and 680 cubic meters of Beijing mining and metallurgy institute, and has low concentration ratio and low recovery rate on the mineral flotation of fine particle size; in recent years, the grade of raw ore nickel in beneficiation treatment is reduced year by year, the content of magnesium oxide is increased increasingly, the granularity of ore embedding is finer and finer, and the fact that flotation equipment with higher efficiency cannot be sought is one of important directions of beneficiation development in the future.

Wherein, the ratio m of the cross section area of the first mixing chamber of the cyclone jet micro-nano bubble generator to the outlet cross section area of the horn pipe of the first ore pulp input nozzle is between 6 and 10.
At the mixing chamber location, the interaction of the rapidly flowing pulp and the surrounding entrained air is exacerbated, the air and pulp are thoroughly mixed, and the air is dispersed and broken into bubbles. Thus, the mixing chamber has an important influence on the frothing quality of the bubble generator, as well as the structure, shape, size of the mixing chamber. In order to cut the gas into nano-sized bubbles, the ore dressing flow and the air flow need to be mixed in a turbulent manner in a mixing chamber, and the more fully mixed, the higher the foaming rate. The length and size of the mixing chamber (generally expressed by the ratio m (between 6 and 10) of the cross section of the mixing chamber to the cross section of the outlet of the pulp input pipe) have important effects on the size and dispersion of generated bubbles, and when the diameter of the mixing chamber is smaller, turbulent mixing is intense, and when the diameter of the mixing chamber is smaller, the generated bubbles are better in size and dispersion, but on the other hand, when the diameter of the mixing chamber is larger, more gas is favorably sucked, and the gas content is increased.

When the rotational flow jet reaches subsonic speed, the negative pressure is at a position with a distance of 0.2d from the nozzle opening (d is the inner diameter of the outlet of the ore pulp input pipe), the negative pressure increases along with the increase of the fluid speed, a maximum negative pressure area is formed in a 0.2d-4d area, the negative pressure area and the central axis of the rotational flow jet flow field are used as the centers, and the air charging speed (air suction amount) is the maximum when the central line of the air inlet pipe intersects with the central line of the nozzle.
The invention is characterized in that:
1. in flotation of a flotation column, the size of the bubbles is the largest factor affecting the flotation effect, and the smaller and at best the larger the bubbles are, the larger the collision probability with ore particles is, and the more favorable the separation of fine-grained minerals is. According to the theory related to the action of bubbles and particles in a flotation column, if high-efficiency flotation of the flotation column is to be achieved, it is required that micro-bubbles are generated as much as possible at a large apparent aeration rate. Because the bubble size, the apparent aeration rate and the feeding rate are related to each other, if small bubbles are generated, the low apparent aeration rate and the relatively small treatment capacity are required to be adopted, and the contradiction always restricts the research of the efficient flotation column, so that the research of most of the current flotation columns is an important problem to be solved. The invention adopts a rotational flow jet micro-nano bubble generator and a static mixer to combine twice to form micro-nano bubbles, wherein the nano bubbles are more than or equal to 1 nm-less than or equal to 1 mu m; the micro-nano bubbles of the level have large specific surface area (contact angle is more than or equal to 175 DEG), so that hydrophobic ore clusters are formed; the surface activity is stronger, and the selectivity is higher than that of common bubbles because the surface free energy is extremely large; the high-dispersion and relatively stable gas substance capable of adjusting and promoting the interaction between particles and bubbles is provided, wherein the promotion effect is derived from the 'nano bubble bridge capillary force' generated in the nano bubble aggregation process, can be more adhered to the surface of the particles, has low rising speed, aggregates the fine particle fraction, increases the size of the fine particle fraction and increases the capturing probability; plays a role of a secondary collector and improves the surface hydrophobicity of particles; by promoting the adhesion of larger bubbles and particles to strengthen the flotation process, the lower limit of separation of minerals by the apparatus can be effectively reduced, especially for very fine and coarse particles. The bubble quantity of the nano bubbles can be directly controlled by adjusting the negative pressure air suction quantity, and the nano bubbles are convenient to operate and good in dispersion. The invention changes the internal inflation type into the external negative pressure control type, replaces the original multi-layer and multi-point inflation type inflation by the rotational flow jet micro-nano bubble generator at one point, is higher than the bubble speed of other flotation equipment by more than or equal to 30 percent, solves the problem of blockage of the flotation column generator (nozzle), and improves the flotation efficiency of the flotation column.
2. The formed nano bubbles can exist stably for more than 1 hour in the sodium oleate solution, and have strong stability; the size of the nano bubbles decreases with increasing sodium oleate concentration and increases with increasing pH; the electronegativity of the surface is continuously enhanced along with the increase of the pH value; after the cavitation time exceeds a certain time range, the size of the nano bubbles is not obviously influenced by the prolonged cavitation time, which is caused by the dynamic balance of dissolved gas in the solution in the water phase and the gas phase, and the micro-nano bubbles have unique effects, and are energy-saving, low in cost, quality-improving and efficiency-improving.
3. The ore pulp flotation column provided by the invention is a short column, and a central pump of the equipment can realize the collocation of different numbers of tank bodies (1-24) through an ore pulp distributor. And the flexible switching of different scales can be performed at any time according to the requirements of different mines, different ores and different processing capacities, so that the problem that the traditional flotation equipment is difficult to replace or allocate is solved.
A. The micro-nano bubble flotation column can instantaneously generate a large amount of nano bubbles and can rapidly capture micro-fine particles below-19 microns, thereby forming hydrophobic ore clusters. The mineral separation recovery rate of the novel flotation column is improved by one time compared with that of the traditional flotation machine on average, and the recovery rate of the novel flotation column on the fine fraction is improved by more than 30% compared with that of the conventional flotation column;
B. High enrichment ratio
The nanobubbles form bubbles of a size suitable for and mineralizing during the rapid rise and gradually form a stable and thick foam layer. In the foam layer, useful minerals can be enriched at a time, so that the enrichment ratio is obviously improved compared with that of the traditional flotation column.
C. Simplified flow
Because the enrichment ratio is high, the nano bubble flotation column can replace three or even four operations of the traditional flotation machine in one process, thereby greatly simplifying the production process.
D. The running is smoother
The high intelligent control ensures that the equipment operates more stably; the intelligent control, the electric control and the manual control can be freely switched; the mineralizing nozzle can be quickly replaced without stopping the machine during operation, thereby greatly reducing maintenance workload.
E. Low operation cost, small occupied area and flexible configuration
A central pump of the device can realize the collocation of grooves with different numbers, such as six grooves, sixteen grooves, twenty-four grooves or the like. And the flexible switching of different scales can be performed at any time according to the requirements of different mines, different ores and different processing capacities, so that the problem that the traditional flotation equipment is difficult to replace or allocate is solved. (note: the effective volume of "one with twenty four" is 2388 cubic meters/groove group, "one with six" (99.543 cubic meters/groove times 6 grooves are equal to 597 cubic meters/groove group), one production line is equivalent to 5 ten thousand tons/day treatment capacity, other flotation machines and flotation columns can not be achieved, and the intelligent and large scale of 20 ten thousand tons/day of one production line can be achieved by rotational flow jet micro-nano bubble flotation columns.
4. The ore pulp flotation column is internally provided with the orderly drilling flow stabilizer, so that the flow state of ore pulp in the flotation column is improved, the problems of 'turn over', 'channeling' and the like which are commonly caused by industrial flotation columns are overcome, an ideal 'plug flow' flow state is formed, and the stability of the flow state of ore pulp in the column, the uniformity of bubble dispersion and the like are improved.
5. The cyclone jet micro-nano bubble nozzle device is externally arranged, ore is fed from the bottom, and energy consumption is saved; microbubbles generated by solid, liquid and gas are symmetrically fed with ore pulp at the bottom of a main column, a high turbulence distributor device is arranged at the bottom of the main column, bubbles and ore pulp are in a narrow space, and a suspected baffle plate of an ore pulp steady flow distributor is arranged at the center of the bottom of the main column, so that on one hand, the size of the bubbles is reduced, the collision probability between mineral particles and the bubbles is increased, and on the other hand, the specific surface area of the bubbles of a nano plant is large, the surface energy is high, and the selectivity is higher than that of common bubbles.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention provides a cyclone jet micro-nano bubble flotation column, which can form micro-nano bubbles, so that the flotation efficiency of mineral particles is improved, and particularly the flotation efficiency of very fine and coarse particles is improved. The device uses a mode of connecting a nozzle of a cyclone jet generator with a static mixer pipeline in series, and the cyclone jet micro-nano bubble flotation column replaces the bubble generation modes of pressure dissolution, jet flow and the like of the traditional flotation column, and has the characteristics of small bubble diameter, good stability, easy control of bubble quantity and the like.
