Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flotation apparatus with a stirrer as a disperser and a flotation.
  • a flotation apparatus with a stirrer as a disperser and a flotation.
  • Known flotation apparatuses include a flotation chamber bounded by a sidewall and a bottom, a pulp inlet, an agitator, an agitator associated with the agitator, and a foam collecting means for a flotation product formed at the top of the flotation chamber.
  • the flotation is a physical separation process for the separation of a particle mixture due to different surface wettability of the particles.
  • a gas such as air or nitrogen is introduced into the particle mixture present in the form of an aqueous suspension, the pulp, with the aid of the aeration device.
  • the turbid flotation chemicals continue to be used to hydrophobize the surface of the useful particles, in a raw ore ore particles.
  • the gas bubbles present in the slurry remain adhered to the hydrophobic particles, with the addition of adducts, also called aeroflakes, which rise upwards and accumulate as a foam product on the pulp and can be discharged from there.
  • the pulp In order for aeroblocks to form, the pulp must be mixed with the help of a mixing device, the above agitator in turbulence, so that the gas is dispersed in the pulp and collisions between gas bubbles and particles can take place. Not every collision leads to the formation of an aerofoil.
  • the formation of an adduct from a small gas bubble with a small particle requires one collision taking place at a relatively high kinetic energy, ie the particle must reach a high level from the mixing device Speed to be accelerated.
  • this this would at best be achieved with high energy expenditure and high material wear, which would make the flotation process uneconomical.
  • Flotation apparatus with stirrer as a mixing device are therefore operated with lower energy input so that the adjusting hydrodynamic conditions favors the separation of particle fractions with on average larger diameters.
  • finer particles form adducts at most to a small extent and remain behind in the residual pulp.
  • the residual pulp is usually treated in further downstream flotation, which is associated with appropriate procedural and equipment expense.
  • One advantage of the invention lies in the fact that there are two substantially independently operating mixing devices with which a gas in the form of gas bubbles and particles with high turbulence in the slurry are dispersible.
  • the respective turbulence zones are spatially separated from one another such that a mutual influence of the adducts forming there due to the prevailing hydrodynamic conditions is practically excluded. Therefore, a two-stage flotation is possible within one and the same flotation chamber, wherein the first flotation stage comprises one or more first mixing devices and the second flotation stage comprises the agitator and the gassing device associated therewith.
  • Different hydrodynamic conditions can be generated in the respective turbulence zones, with the possibility, in principle, of simultaneously obtaining different particle fractions in a flotation apparatus or with a flotation method carried out in a single flotation apparatus or in its flotation chamber.
  • particles having a broader size spectrum than in the known flotation apparatus can thus be converted into the foam product, so that correspondingly higher yields can be achieved and subsequent flotation steps are required unnecessarily or only to a reduced extent.
  • an ejector is used as the first mixing device.
  • Ejectors are known per se in the field of flotation and for example in the European Patent Application No. 09171568.0 described. It is, as will be explained in more detail below, to a device for dispersing a gas in a slurry, comprising - seen successively in the flow direction of the suspension - a tapered in the flow direction suspension nozzle, a mixing chamber into which the suspension nozzle flows, a adjoining the mixing chamber and a flow tube tapering in the flow direction. Furthermore, a gas supply line for supplying a gas into the mixing chamber is present. With the help of an ejector, a large amount of gas can be introduced into the pulp and distributed in the form of very many predominantly small gas bubbles.
  • adducts of small bubbles and particles of rather smaller size are formed.
  • the adducts rise up in the flotation chamber without entering the turbulence zone of the agitator and being at risk of collapsing by collision with a particle.
  • they can float upwards practically without such an impairment and be discharged by means of a foam collecting device, preferably a foam collecting container enclosing the flotation chamber with radial spacing.
  • FIG. 1-6 Flotation apparatuses 1 shown comprise a flotation chamber 2, a foam collecting device 5 and four at a mutual distance in the circumferential direction of the flotation chamber 2 arranged feed lines 6, each comprising a first mixing means M1 in the form of an ejector 7 and in which such an ejector is integrated.
  • a second, a stirrer 3 and a stirrer 3 associated with the gassing device 4 comprehensive second mixing device M2 is arranged.
  • the flotation chamber 2 is bounded by a side wall 8 with a circular cross-sectional shape and a bottom 9.
  • the agitator 3 designed, for example, as a stator-rotor system is arranged on the bottom 9 of the flotation chamber 2 or in its lower region. It is connected via a hollow shaft 10 with a drive unit 13, which comprises, for example, an electric motor 14 and a transmission 15 connecting this to the hollow shaft.
  • the foam collecting device 5 is configured as a foam collecting container 16 which encompasses the side wall 8 with a radial spacing, on which a discharge nozzle 17 for discharging a foam product is available.
  • the ejectors 7 together form a first flotation stage and the agitator 3 with the associated gassing 4 a second flotation.
  • the feed lines 6 are arranged on the side wall 8 of the flotation chamber 2 such that their end section 11 connected to the flotation chamber 2 or the flow direction 18 of a slurry flowing through the end sections 11 run tangentially to the flotation chamber 2 or to its cylindrical side wall 8.
  • the feed lines 6 open at a above the agitator 3 near the upper edge 19 of the side wall 8 arranged point 19 in the flotation chamber 2. Between the mouth of the feed lines 6 and the agitator 3 is thus a vertical distance exists.
  • An ejector 7 comprises as an essential component nozzle, hereinafter referred to as suspension nozzle 25, from the mouth of which the slurry exits at high speed, wherein introduced in the mouth region, a gas or is sucked in because of a negative pressure existing there. The gas enters the turbidity stream leaving the suspension nozzle and is dispersed therein in the form of fine gas bubbles.
  • the in the FIG. 7 injector 7 shown schematically has a tubular housing 23, which is penetrated in the longitudinal or axial direction of a cavity 24.
  • An input-side section of the cavity 24 is designed as a suspension nozzle 25, which tapers in the flow direction of a slurry flowing through the ejector 7.
  • the suspension nozzle 25 is followed by a mixing chamber 26, which is designed, for example, in the manner of a cylindrical bore. Between the suspension nozzle 25 and the mixing chamber 26, an opening 27 is present. Through this opening 27, a gas, such as air or nitrogen, can be supplied via a gas line 28 of the slurry. The gas passes into the mixing chamber 26. The effect of the suspension nozzle forms a turbulence zone 31 in the mixing chamber 26, in which the gas collides in the form of predominantly small gas bubbles with particles of the pulp. Input and output side is a flange 29 at the ejector 7, wherein on a flange 29, a pipe section 30 is attached, which is part of the feed line 6.
  • a gas such as air or nitrogen
  • the flotation apparatus 1 described above operates as follows:
  • the flotation chamber 2 is filled with an aqueous pulp, for example a raw-material slurry.
  • the rotating agitator 3 of the second flotation stage generates a turbulence zone 34 indicated by the arrows 33.
  • a gas is introduced into the flotation chamber 2 via the gassing device 4, which is essentially formed by the interior 35 of the hollow shaft 10 which is open at its lower end
  • gassing device 4 By the rotational movement of the agitator 3 gas bubbles in the pulp, in particular in the turbulence zone 34 are dispersed. Similar dispersion, albeit on average smaller gas bubbles, takes place in the ejectors 7 of the first flotation stage. There Aeroflocken form from these gas bubbles and rather smaller particles.
  • Aerofoils float upwards and collect as a foam product in the foam collecting container 16, from which they are discharged via the outlet connection 17. Heavier particles to which no gas bubble has attached themselves in the ejectors 7, on the other hand, sink downwards - indicated by the arrow 36 - and reach the turbulence zone 34 of the agitator 3. Aeroflakes, in this case however, form again through corresponding collision events between particles and glass bubbles those from larger particles and larger gas bubbles, which rise to the top (indicated by the arrow 37) and also enter the foam collecting container 16 as a foam product.
  • a return line 32 which branches off from an outlet 42 serving to discharge residual pulp from the flotation chamber 2 and opens into at least one feed line 6.
  • a portion of the residual clouding stream can be passed into an ejector 7, if the supply of slurry for reasons of process control must be throttled.
  • the flotation chamber 2 of in 3 and 4 flotation apparatus 1 shown has an inner chamber 38. This is bounded by a cylindrical side wall 39 and is open at the top and bottom.
  • the inner chamber 38 may also be delimited by a differently shaped, for example, a downwardly conically tapered, also open bottom side wall 39.
  • the lower opening is dimensioned so that the hollow shaft 10 can pass through without contact. It is centrally located, leaving an annular space 40 at a radial distance from the side wall 8 in the flotation chamber 2.
  • the inner chamber 38 is provided with a foam collecting device 5a which is formed as a foam collecting container 43 surrounding the upper end of the radial clearance side wall 39.
  • the foam collecting container 43 is provided with a discharge nozzle 17 '.
  • the inner chamber 38 projects with a projection 44 from the flotation chamber 2 or from the foam collecting container 16 embracing it.
  • the inner chamber 38 causes at least a portion of the ascending of the turbulence zone 34 of the agitator 3 Aeroflocken (see arrow 41) to the outlet pipe 17 'must travel shorter ways, so that their residence time within the flotation chamber 2 and the foam collecting container 43 shortened and thereby the likelihood of their decay is reduced. Without the inner chamber 38, the aeroflakes would be detected by the circular flow of turbulence flowing in via the feed lines 6 tangentially into the flotation chamber, with the result that they would have to travel much longer distances.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 shown variant of a flotation apparatus 1 is also an inner chamber 38 is present.
  • the feed lines 6 do not open into the annular space 40, but into the inner chamber 38, wherein they pass through the annular space 40.
  • This embodiment is primarily aimed at reducing the residence time of the aeroflakes formed in the ejectors 7 of the first flotation stage in the flotation apparatus 1, for example for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • the larger particles of the pulp are directed through the inner chamber 38 in a targeted manner to the agitator 3, ie to the second flotation stage (indicated by the arrows 45).
  • the residence time of the aeroflakes formed in the turbulence zone 34 or in the second flotation stage is in the range of 5 to 10 times the residence time of the aeroflakes formed in the first flotation stage.
  • the targeted supply of the coarser particles from the first flotation stage to the second flotation stage can optionally take place by means of a diaphragm 46 with adjustable diaphragm opening 47 arranged at the lower end of the inner chamber 38.
  • the diaphragm is formed by a conical wall 48, which forms an angle 49 of, for example, 135 ° with the side wall 39 of the inner chamber 38.
  • the adjustability of the diaphragm opening can be accomplished, for example, by individual movable wall elements which overlap in the circumferential direction of the inner chamber 38.
