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, which comprises a flotation chamber, with at least one nozzle arrangement, referred to herein as ejectors, further with at least one gassing device, when using air aeration devices or aerators, and a collecting container for a formed during the flotation foam product.
  • 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 selectively hydrophobize sulfidic ore particles.
  • 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.
