Two, background technology
The grinding process of ball mill is one of the most complicated operation in ore dressing plant, and variable influence factor is a lot, and intricate, makes the many problems in the ore grinding be difficult to solve.Determining of sphere diameter is accurately very difficult, and existing sphere diameter formula all is empirical equations, and the sphere diameter error of calculating is big.The proportioning of various sizes ball does not have good way yet.Therefore, be that other sphere diameter of single-stage or the average diameter of whole ball lotus all are difficult to realize precision in the grinding machine, also just be difficult to the grinding efficiency that obtains.
The method of loading and adding ball research of ball mill is all paid attention in ore dressing circle both at home and abroad.On the determining of sphere diameter, just did many researchs.Be the proportional relationship of directly seeking the first power of sphere diameter B and feed preparation unit size d at first, attempt is determined sphere diameter with the simplest method.Find later on that but investigated more than 50 grinding machine in the relational expression of sphere diameter B=Kd, proportionality coefficient K=2.5~130 can't be used at all.Since thought afterwards that sphere diameter B did not become the first power relation with giving ore particle footpath d, may become the 1/n power to concern, and the factor that will not consider revise with a coefficient k, i.e. B=kd
1/n, Davis's formula, La Sumofu formula all belong to this class up to list moral simple formula.But equal error was bigger when this type of empirical equation was calculated sphere diameter, and only error is less in some particle size range.Former Soviet Union row Paderewski difficult to understand increases the product granularity d that has considered grinding machine again
k,
Error is still big, and is inapplicable.At last, people recognize, for the numerous grinding process of influence factor, only consider that the inevitable error of one, two influence factor is bigger.Therefore, European and American countries has generally adopted the sphere diameter empirical equation of considering five, six influence factors in recent years.Be typically the sphere diameter formula of Allis-Chalmers company:
(metric system and English unit)
And the sphere diameter formula of Xnord company:
(metric system and English unit)
In the formula:
B-required steel ball size inch
F-80% granularity μ the m that sieves
K
m-correction factor
S-ore density t/m
3
C-mill speed rate %
W-treat ore grinding stone work index kwh/t
D-grinding machine interior diameter ft
These two experience sphere diameter formula have been caught five key factors and have been added correction factor, and some factors get with theoretical the derivation, and result of calculation is more accurate than those experience sphere diameter formula of considering one, two influence factor of front.But it is very inconvenient that these two formula are used in China, and China's factories and miness have only the Polodyakonov coefficient coefficient f of ore more, and idle index W data; Feed preparation unit size F in the formula all usefulness be 80% granularity of sieving, China selects factory how with 95% granularity of sieving; And, the correction factor K in the formula
mGrinding machine in large diameter sums up down abroad.China's mill diameter is generally less, K
mIt is suitable to lose.With the sphere diameter of these two experience sphere diameter formula calculating mineral processing in China factory grinding machines, the one, inconvenient, the 2nd, error is still bigger.Given this, 89 years the applicant derive first sphere diameter half theoretical formula in conjunction with China's national situation with the Crushing Mechanics theory:
In the formula:
B-required steel ball size cm
Ψ-mill speed rate %
The ultimate compressive strength kg/cm of σ-ore
2
ρ
0The effective density g/cm of-steel ball in ore pulp
3
D
0-ball lotus " contracting and collect layer in the centre " diameter cm
d
m-95% maximum particle size cm that sieves
K
cThe comprehensive correction factor of-other influence factor, its value are different and different with the feed preparation unit size thickness.Contrast is calculated and evidence, and this sphere diameter half theoretical formula is all more accurate than domestic and international sphere diameter empirical equation.
On the proportioning of various balls, almost all be definite by rule of thumb both at home and abroad.And the method that the former Soviet Union adopts in " rationally balance dress ball method " science relatively, it treats that to ore deposit (newly adding sand return to the ore deposit) the abrasive particle degree forms to determine the ball ratio entirely according to grinding machine.The applicant thinks that mechanical milling process is a random process, and the method for applied statistics solves the problem of ball ratio, therefore proposes broken statistical mechanics principle, with the collocation of broken statistical mechanics guidance of principle ball.
Three, summary of the invention
1, goal of the invention: the objective of the invention is, it is accurate and add method of loading and adding ball easily to require to propose a kind of sphere diameter according to the purpose of ore grinding, it is accurate method for ball load and addition, with replace existing factory produce in the bad experience method of loading and adding ball of effect and sphere diameter calculate neither accurate, " the balance tip-in method rationally " that method itself is complicated again.
2, technical scheme: the present invention realizes according to the following step:
(1) at the uniaxial compressive strength σ (kg/cm that treats ore grinding stone mensuration ore
2) and the compression strength σ of irregular nugget
0(kg/cm
2) and elastic modelling quantity and the Poisson's ratio of measuring ore, for sphere diameter determine and the ball ratio determine to provide foundation.
(2) grinding machine is newly carried out screen analysis respectively to ore deposit and these two kinds of materials of sand return, convert newly to ore deposit and sand return than numerical value by sand return then, and merge to such an extent that full feed preparation unit size is formed, conversion did not determine to wait to grind full feed preparation unit size composition after deduction did not need levigate thin rank again.At last, will treat that mill is divided into 4~6 groups to the ore deposit by granule size entirely.
(3) according to the σ or the σ of ore
0Reach the upper limit size of respectively organizing ore particle, and the condition of work of grinding machine and known parameter, respectively organize the sphere diameter value that ore particle needs with the calculating of sphere diameter half theoretical formula.To the middle-size and small-size grinding machine of diameter less than 2.7 meters, the lifting height of ball is little during the grinding machine rotation, and for guaranteeing enough crushing forces, the sphere diameter that needs is big, adopts the resistance to compression value σ of irregular nugget
0Calculate exact value, to the big grinding machine of diameter greater than 2.7 meters, the lifting height of ball is big, and the sphere diameter that needs is little, adopts the resistance to compression value σ of standard specimen to calculate exact value.
(4) respectively organize the productive rate of ore particle and required sphere diameter to the ore deposit and determine that grinding machine just adorns the ball ratio of ball by waiting to grind entirely: all need levigately as each group ore particle, the productive rate that then makes every kind of steel ball is suitable with the productive rate of its suitable levigate ore particle group; Strengthen the levigate of which group ore particle as needs, just increase the ratio of the steel ball of these group ore particle needs; Strengthen the more coarsely graded levigate ratio of just adding the large scale steel ball as needs; Strengthen the more fine-graded levigate ratio of just adding the small size steel ball as needs, that is to say with broken statistical mechanics guidance of principle and join ball.
(5) calculate the grinding machine of allotting and just adorn ball, can directly in industrial mill, verify its reasonability and accuracy, can verify its reasonability and accuracy at breadboard big grinding machine the grinding machine of diameter more than 2.7 meters to the grinding machine of diameter below 2.7 meters.First dress ball after the checking directly enters commercial Application.
(6) drawing the positive cumulative property curves of ball lotus granularity that grinding machine is just adorned ball, is benchmark with the positive cumulative property curves of ball lotus granularity of first dress ball, determines the positive cumulative property curves of ball lotus behind the adding ball with drawing method, draws the ratio of various adding balls according to this curve.The theoretical foundation of graphing method is: various balls all are worn in the ore grinding, the impact wear of big ball is big but grinding loss is little, the impact wear of bead is little but grinding loss is big, can think that the rate of wear of big ball and bead is suitable, therefore, with the ball lotus curve of just adorning ball parallel to left down move get final product the ball lotus curve after the wearing and tearing, and to upper right parallel move get final product the ball lotus curve of adding ball.As adding of ball, simple when adding a kind of big ball separately, but can form big ball phenomenon on the high side in the grinding machine, unfavorable to ore grinding; Add five, grinding machine endosphere lotus characteristic is good during six kind of ball, but production management complexity.The present invention overcomes the defect of above-mentioned two kinds of replenishment methods guaranteeing only to add 2~3 kinds of balls under the accurate prerequisite of sphere diameter.
3, compare advantage and the good effect that has with known technology
(1) sphere diameter is accurate, The present invention be directed to the condition of work of the mechanical strength and the grinding machine of particular ore, obtain to be fit to needed sphere diameter under this condition, so sphere diameter selects accurately, and it is scientific and reasonable to join ball.
(2) method is simple, is convenient to use.Adopt this law dress ball and tip-in once to calculate and finish, shorten the industrial experiment cycle, simplify the program of applying.
(3) effect is remarkable, because sphere diameter is accurate, reasonable mixture ratio improves mill hourly output, and Grinding producation quality improves, and power consumption ball consumption descends.The ore milling product liberation degree of minerals improves, and recovery rate in ore-dressing and concentrate grade are increased.Can improve 10~15% for middle hard ore and soft mineral mill machine throughput, the ball consumption descends 10~20%, and power consumption descends 3~5%, and liberation degree of minerals improves about 5 percentage points, and the rate of recovery improves 1~3 percentage point, and concentrate grade also can improve.
