Definitions

  • a flotation cell or a flotation reactor is a mass flow in the form of an ore-containing pulp, i. essentially a suspension of water, ground rock (gangue) and ground ore fed.
  • the mass flow containing the pulp is charged with magnetic particles, which include, for example, magnetic particles in the form of magnetite, to form so-called ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates (so-called "load process").
  • magnetic particles include, for example, magnetic particles in the form of magnetite
  • load process to form the ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates is usually a prior hydrophobation of both the ore particles as well as the magnetic particles required.
  • the formation of the orbital magnetic particle agglomerates produced essentially by hydrophobic interactions or forces of attraction takes place by mixing the starting materials in a mixing device taking into account certain mixing parameters, such as shear forces, time, temperature, etc.
  • the mass flow containing the ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates is subsequently supplied as so-called separator flow to a (first) separation device in the form of a magnetic separator.
  • the magnetic separator serves to separate the ore particle-magnetic particle agglomerates from the bulk stream or pulp, i. the magnetic ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates are discharged from the pulp and transferred to a so-called separator concentrate stream which essentially contains the ore particle-magnetic particle agglomerates, minor amounts of gait and water.
  • the remaining constituents or residues are fed into what is known as a separator residual stream.
  • the ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates are incorporated into their constituents, i. Ore particles and magnetic particles, split, so that they are present in the form of a mixture unbound or separately next to each other (so-called "un-load” process).

  • Magnetic or magnetizable magnetic particles which form ore magnetic particle agglomerates with the non-magnetic ore particles, are fed to a pulp flowing continuously through a reactor.
  • the ore magnetic particle agglomerates are moved by means of a magnetic field into an accumulation region of the reactor and removed from the accumulation region of the reactor.
  • both the ore particles and the magnetic particles suffer from certain losses, as both the non-agglomerated ore particles or magnetic particles as well as not separated from the Separatorzustrom ore particles magnetic particle agglomerates of another use are not accessible or only with considerable effort. There is no monitoring of the process of formation of the ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates nor monitoring of the process of separation of the ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates from the separator feed.

  • the device 13 used for carrying out the method according to the invention has at least one mixing device 14 for mixing the mass flow with optionally pre-hydrophobized magnetic particles M to form ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates A, at least one feed device 15 for feeding the mass flow as Separatorzustrom in at least one Magnetic separator 16 for separating the ore particle magnetic particle agglomerates A from the Separatorzustrom, at least one separator 17 for separating the ore particles E from the Separatorkonzentratstrom, at least one detection means 18 for determining at least one measure of the proportion of ore particles E or magnetic particles M in the Separatorzustrom and / or Separatorkonzentratstrom and / or Separatorreststrom indicating information I and at least one control and / or regulating device 19.
  • the control and / or regulating device 19 comprises at least one machine-readable program means 20, the program means 20 depending on the determined information I for controlling and / or regulating the mixing device 14 and / or the magnetic separator 16 and / or the separation device (s) 17th , 21 is formed.
