Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gassing device for a flotation cell, a flotation cell equipped with at least one such gassing device, and a method for flotation of valuable particles from a suspension.
  • Flotation is a physical separation process for separating fine-grained mixtures of solids, such as ores and gangue, in an aqueous slurry by means of air bubbles due to a different surface wettability of the particles contained in the suspension. It is used for the treatment of mineral resources and in the processing of preferably mineral substances with a low to moderate content of a useful component or a valuable material, for example in the form of non-ferrous metals, iron, metals of rare earths and / or precious metals and non-metallic mineral resources.
  • the WO 2006/069995 A1 describes a pneumatic flotation cell with a housing comprising a flotation chamber, with at least one nozzle arrangement, here referred to as ejectors, further with at least one gassing device, when using air aeration devices or aerators called, and a collecting container for a foam product formed during the flotation.
  • a suspension of water and fine-grained solid mixed with reagents is generally introduced into a flotation chamber via at least one nozzle arrangement.
  • the purpose of the reagents is to ensure that, in particular, the valuable particles or valuable material particles which are preferably to be separated off are made hydrophobic in the suspension become.
  • xanthates are used as reagents, in particular to hydrophobize sulfidic ore particles selectively.
  • the at least one nozzle arrangement is supplied with gas, in particular with air, which comes into contact with the hydrophobic particles in the suspension.
  • the hydrophobic particles adhere to forming gas bubbles, so that the gas bubble structures, also called aeroflocs, float and form the foam product on the surface of the suspension.
  • the foam product is discharged into a collecting container and usually thickened.
  • the quality of the foam product or the separation efficiency of the flotation process depends inter alia on the probability of collision between a hydrophobic particle and a gas bubble.
  • a preferred diameter of the gas bubbles is less than about 5 mm and is in particular in the range between 1 and 5 mm.
  • Such small gas bubbles have a high specific surface area and are therefore able to bind and take up significantly more valuable material particles, in particular ore particles, per amount of gas used than larger gas bubbles are capable of doing.
  • gas bubbles larger in diameter increase faster than gas bubbles of smaller diameter.
  • the smaller gas bubbles are collected by larger gas bubbles and combine with them to even larger gas bubbles. This reduces the available specific surface of the gas bubbles in the suspension, can be bound to the valuable particles.
  • hybrid flotation cells which represent a combination of a pneumatic flotation cell with a columnar flotation cell
  • larger particulate matter having particle diameters in the range of 50 microns and larger are not completely bound to the existing gas bubbles and thus can only be partially separated from the suspension. Fines with particle diameters in the range of 20 microns and less, however, are particularly well deposited.
  • Gas bubbles having a diameter in the range from 1 to 5 mm are continuously present in a column-like flotation cell over the height of the flotation chamber, so that a reduction in the diameter of the gas bubbles generated in the lower region of the flotation chamber or by a gassing device in the flotation chamber is required. So far, in the flotation gassing with gas outlet openings are used, whose diameter is in the range of 3 to 5 mm and in columnar flotation cells to gas bubble formation with significantly large gas bubbles, in particular greater than 5 mm in diameter, lead.
  • gas outlet openings with diameters of up to 1 mm on gassing devices easily clog, as long as usually suspensions with solids contents to be processed in the range of 30 to 40%. Even with short downtimes of the flotation cell particles from the suspension penetrate into the gas outlet openings and close them. When restarting the cell, the gas pressure of the gas to be introduced into the suspension is often insufficient to flush such small gas outlet openings of a gassing device freely again.

  • the screen or lattice-shaped component is arranged in the transport direction of the gas bubbles generated at the gas outlet openings.
  • the gas bubbles pass through the sieve or grid-shaped component, whereby the gas bubbles are broken up.
  • the diameters of the gas outlet openings of the gassing device according to the invention can therefore be chosen so large that clogging by particles from the suspension is reliably avoided at all times, for example in the range of at least 3 mm, in particular in the range of 3 to 5 mm.
  • the baffle plate of the at least one gassing device is preferably arranged in the flotation chamber of the flotation cell above the vessel of the at least one gassing device. Due to the buoyancy, the gas bubbles formed at the gas outlet openings move upwards in the direction of the baffle plate.
  • a center of the baffle plate and a center of the at least one screen or lattice-shaped component are arranged on a longitudinal axis LA of the vessel.
  • the gassing device has a tube section adjoining the vessel for receiving gas exiting via the gas outlet openings, wherein the baffle plate is assigned to an end of the tube section facing away from the vessel and its plate plane is oriented perpendicular to a tube longitudinal axis of the tube section, wherein a center of the baffle plate and a center of the at least one screen or lattice-shaped component lie on the tube longitudinal axis.

  • the meshes of the at least two screen or lattice-shaped component not arranged congruent to each other, but rather offset or rotated to each other.

  • the screen or lattice-shaped component is formed from metal or plastic.
  • metal wires or plastic fibers with diameters of up to 1 mm are used to form the sieve-like or latticed component in order to form as sharp as possible a separating edge for the impinging gas bubbles.

  • the at least one gas inlet opening is in this case arranged in particular on the outer tube such that a radial feed of the gas takes place. This causes the gas along the circumference of the annular gap between the outer tube and inner tube is injected into this and does not bounce directly at right angles to the inner tube.
  • the gas inlet opening is preferably arranged close to the region in which the open ends of the outer tube and of the inner tube are connected to one another are. This measure (s) lead to a good distribution of the gas in the annular gap and an intensive mixing with suspension in a flotation cell.
  • the vessel comprises at least one vane, which are arranged in the region between the at least one gas inlet opening and the gas outlet openings and direct the injected gas in a desired direction.
  • a vessel comprising an inner tube and an outer tube may be formed with a vane such that the vane on the inside of the outer tube extends helically from one end to the other of the outer tube.
  • other arrangements of one or more vanes are possible depending on the design of the vessel.
  • an inner tube is present, which is arranged concentrically to the outer tube. This simplifies the design and lowers the manufacturing cost of the gassing device.

  • Already existing flotation cells can be equipped in a simple manner with at least one gassing device according to the invention and thereby their performance can be increased.
  • the housing of the flotation cell has, in a preferred embodiment, a cylindrical housing section whose axis of symmetry is arranged vertically.
  • Gas supply lines, which supply the at least one gassing device with gas, are preferably led through the housing.

  • the object is further for the process for flotation of valuable particles, in particular ore minerals, from a suspension having a solids content in the range of 30 to 40% dissolved to form a foam product by means of a flotation cell according to the invention.
