Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for separating mixtures of materials, in particular mixtures of mineral materials, for example a mixture of gravel and sand.
  • Contaminated mineral material mixtures are washed, for example, in order to be able to use them or individual components for a specific purpose, such as the production of concrete or other building materials.
  • mineral or other material mixtures can contain fines (e.g. loam and clay), organic substances, light materials, recyclable materials or other undesirable substances that are separated from the material mixture in order to use the cleaned material mixture for the intended use, e.g. as building material or for recycling. to prepare.
  • a mineral material mixture containing gravel can be mixed and bonded with loam, clay or other cohesive or undesirable components. These components must be removed from the material mixture in order to obtain gravel that can be used as a building material.
  • components with a grain size of less than 63 microns are removed from the material mixture in particular in order to prepare it for a intended use.
  • Mineral building materials or building material mixtures are usually mineral material or substance mixtures within a predetermined particle size range. Corresponding particle size ranges and, if applicable, assigned grading curves and building material properties are often defined in standards. In order to obtain a mixture of materials that conforms to a relevant standard, it is necessary to separate an underlying mixture of materials, i.e. in particular components of the Material mixture that have a non-standard grain size to remove from the material mixture. Depending on the grain size in question, this can also be understood as a cleaning of the material mixture.
  • the mixture of materials can have gravel, sand, loam and clay, with the loam and clay fractions, which by definition have a grain size of less than 63 microns, being separated from the mixture of materials.
  • a material mixture is available which only has gravel and sand and can be used, for example, to produce concrete.
  • processing plants which process the material mixture mechanically and wash out undesired substances.
  • processing systems are complex and also error-prone and maintenance-intensive and cost-intensive.
  • a particular disadvantage of such systems is that the mass flow of the material mixture has to be maintained continuously, as a result of which the dwell time of the material mixture in the processing system is relatively severely limited during the cleaning process. As a result, the cleaning performance is often unsatisfactory.
  • the achievable throughput is severely limited. Therefore, several processing plants often have to be operated in parallel in order to achieve an economical throughput.
  • the individual systems have to be combined with conveying technology, which is also expensive.
  • the object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1.
  • a method for separating material mixtures comprises at least the following steps: admitting a liquid into a separating tank; introducing the mixture of materials into the separation tank to at least partially contact the mixture of materials with the liquid; lifting at least a portion of the material mixture with a loading container; and releasing the portion into the separator tank.
  • the process offers several advantages, in particular a high level of effectiveness in separating undesired components, so that, for example, a mineral mixture of substances can also be reliably freed from large amounts of loam and clay components. Furthermore, large amounts of a mineral material mixture can be flexibly cleaned per unit of time. For example, the method, in particular the cleaning effort, can be adapted to a cleaning requirement for the mineral material mixture will. However, the method can also be advantageously applied to other mixtures of materials, for example valuable materials which are mixed with undesired components and must be separated from the undesired components before recycling.
  • the liquid is preferably formed by water and serves on the one hand to loosen the unwanted components from the material mixture.
  • components mixed or connected with the material mixture can be dissolved, detached or suspended in the liquid in order to separate the components from the material mixture or at least to weaken their adhesion to the material mixture.
  • the mixture of materials to be cleaned can be enriched with the liquid, for example by dipping the mixture of materials into the liquid and/or by applying the liquid to the mixture of materials.
  • the material mixture is introduced into the separating tank and brought into contact with the liquid so that it can affect the material mixture.
  • the liquid can partially soak into undesirable components such as loam or clay in order to enrich or saturate them with the liquid.
  • the liquid also serves to remove the unwanted components from the material mixture.
  • undesired material that is released, dissolved or suspended in the liquid can be transported away with the liquid, for example by the liquid being withdrawn from the material mixture and/or flowing out of the separating tank.
  • a portion of the material mixture is removed using a loading shovel raised.
  • the subset is taken into the loading shovel and lifted to a predefined height.
  • Picking up the partial quantity in the loading shovel already brings about advantageous relative movements within the material mixture, which make an effective contribution to separating, in particular, cohesive components.
  • the material mixture can be placed under high pressure in sections by the loading shovel, as a result of which the mixture is forced to move and is thereby cleaned mechanically.
  • the partial quantity is preferably raised to such an extent that it is outside of a quantity of liquid that has collected in the separating tank.
  • the subset of the accumulated liquid is at least partially withdrawn, with liquid present in the subset being able to partially flow back into the separating tank while the material mixture is lifted.
  • the liquid flowing back can advantageously carry along dissolved components and remove them from the material mixture.
  • the liquid flowing back into the separating tank can fall directly onto the material remaining in the separating tank and thereby develop a mechanical cleaning effect. The cleaning process is thus further advanced with synergy effects.
  • the subset that is raised is released into the basin.
  • the material mixture can fall into the separating tank automatically, ie by the force of gravity.
  • the loading shovel can be pivoted or opened in a suitable manner, for example by opening a floor of the loading container.
  • advantageous relative movements are generated within the material mixture, in particular due to different falling movements of parts of the material mixture.
  • individual stones can move relative to each other and in this way interact mechanically, for example by rubbing against each other or moving away from each other.
  • Advantageous relative movements within the material mixture are generated in particular in that the material mixture is set in motion successively, i.e. in portions, in the course of its release by the gravitational force, for example in the form of an avalanche. While the material mixture falls into the separating tank and is increasingly accelerated, scattering forces also act in the material mixture, which further promote separation from the unwanted components through sorting effects. The mixture of materials then strikes, for example, a bottom of the separating tank, as a result of which the mixture of materials is decelerated to a great extent and as a result separating forces act on the mixture of materials. Alternatively or additionally, the material mixture can first encounter a separating structure and/or a quantity of liquid that has accumulated in the separating basin.
  • the material mixture in the separating tank can be brought back into contact with the liquid in order to dissolve the undesired components in the liquid and remove them from the material mixture with it.
  • the method is characterized, among other things, by the fact that it can be carried out with comparatively simple means, in particular with a liquid and a loading container, so that the use of cost-intensive processing plants can be dispensed with.
  • the process has proven to be particularly effective in separating and washing out even stubborn loam and clay components or comparable components from the material mixture. It it has also been shown that even such mixtures of materials that contain relatively large amounts of undesirable components can be cleaned with high effectiveness and efficiency. It is thus now possible to clean even heavily contaminated material mixtures inexpensively and put them to a commercially advantageous use.
  • Another significant advantage of the process is that significantly larger quantities of the material mixture can be cleaned per unit of time than is possible with conventional processing plants, and that with comparatively very little technical effort.
  • the most diverse types of material mixtures can also be cleaned. There are no restrictions on the nature of the material mixture, in particular the grain size and shape.
  • the process is also particularly reliable and efficient, since the individual process steps can be carried out relatively easily and the inherent risk of failure of complex processing plants is completely eliminated.
  • the process is also particularly suitable for adapting the cleaning process flexibly to the mixture of materials to be separated. For example, the amount or the exposure time of the liquid can be easily adjusted to the material mixture.
  • the size of the subset, or a range into which the subset is raised can be optionally determined to achieve a desired separation result.
  • the material mixture can be introduced into the separating tank before the partial quantity is raised and before the partial quantity is released.
  • the partial quantity is introduced together with the release of the partial quantity, in particular by the partial quantity falling into the separating tank and thereby being brought into contact with the liquid for the first time, for example.
  • the subset is raised by at least one meter, preferably at least three to four meters.
  • the material mixture can be accelerated to a higher speed at a greater drop height before it hits the bottom of the separating tank or a surface of the liquid or before it hits an optional separating element.
  • the separating element can be arranged above a floor of the separating tank, on the floor of the separating tank or in particular on a wall of the separating tank, e.g. on an inclined rear wall of the separating tank.
  • the subset comprises at least a predefined amount of the material mixture, the subset preferably comprising at least 100 kilograms of the material mixture, more preferably at least 500 kilograms.
  • a relatively large partial amount is advantageous on the one hand in order to clean as large a part of the material mixture as possible per unit of time.
  • advantageous relative movements within the material mixture and displacement forces and pressures acting within the material mixture can increase if the subset in question is as large as possible.
  • greater forces are at work within a large subset, especially when the subset is released into the separating basin and hits the ground. This significantly increases the cleaning performance.
  • enormous cleaning forces act on considerable quantities of the material mixture within a very short time. This is not possible with conventional treatment plants because they only move relatively small quantities of the material mixture per unit of time and also generate lower overall cleaning forces.
  • the loading container has a loading volume in order to completely accommodate the subset.
  • the loading container is generally suitable for raising the portion to a desired height.
  • the loading container can be designed, for example, as a loading shovel.
  • the loading container can have an uninterrupted wall which partially encloses an interior area for receiving the material mixture. In this way, even small grain sizes can be picked up reliably.
  • the loading container can have a grid-like structure, at least in sections, or alternatively another separating structure.
  • the one received in the loading container Subset of the material mixture can be partially processed by separating unwanted material from the material mixture through the grid-like separation structure.
  • other separation structures can also be used.
  • one or more projections can be arranged inside the loading container, which ensure advantageous relative movements within the subset received and in this way improve the method. For example, clumps of loam or clay can be effectively broken up.
  • the separating structure can in particular have one or more elongate projections, such as rod-shaped sections, which divide or break up the material mixture in sections when the partial quantity is received in the loading container or released from the loading container.
  • the cargo box which may be in the form of a loading bucket, for example, has a grid adapted to interact with the material mixture as it is received in the cargo box.
  • the loading container can be moved against the material mixture to receive a portion of the material mixture, so that the material mixture is pushed, in particular pressed, through the grid into the interior area.
  • loam and clay components for example, can be effectively broken up, at least in part.
  • components of the material mixture can be separated from the material mixture with the aid of the grid, depending on the opening size of the grid.
  • the loading container equipped with the grid preferably has at least one Wall section (eg a bottom section) which can be selectively moved in order to release recorded material mixture from the loading container in the loading container.
  • the loading container can have a folding floor in order to release the material mixture.
  • the steps of lifting and releasing the material mixture are repeated several times, preferably at least twice.
  • the cleaning performance of the method can be increased in this way and, in particular, adapted to the nature and composition of the material mixture to be separated. It has been shown that two repetitions with contaminated sand already lead to very satisfactory results in most cases. For material mixtures contaminated with loam and clay, three to five repetitions are usually sufficient.
  • the partial quantity is released onto a separating element arranged on the separating basin.
  • the separating element can have a lattice structure, preferably a sieve structure, in order to separate the material mixture.
  • components with a grain size above a predetermined diameter can be separated from the material mixture.
  • the mixture of materials can be prepared in accordance with a standard that prescribes a predetermined grain size range for the mixture of materials.
  • the loading container is mounted on a mobile machine, the mobile machine being controlled to perform at least one of the following steps: moving the loading container to introduce the portion into the loading container; moving the cargo box to lift the subset; Moving the loading container to release the subset.
  • the mobile machine can advantageously be used for several, in particular for all, process steps in which the material mixture has to be moved.
  • a mobile machine is already available in most plants where material mixtures are processed or traded, so that the process does not require any additional machines.
  • a mobile machine is already necessary when using conventional processing plants in order to bring the material mixture into a processing plant. The method is therefore particularly efficient in comparison, since the cleaning can now essentially be carried out exclusively by the mobile machine.
  • the material mixture no longer has to be laboriously poured into the processing plant and removed again after the processing time of the processing plant.
  • the mobile machine is further controlled to perform at least one of the following steps: moving the loading container to introduce the material mixture into the separation tank; Moving the loading bin to remove the mixed material from the separation tank. These steps can also be performed by the machine. The total cost of the method and in particular the required personnel costs can thus be minimized.
  • the mobile machine is formed by a wheel loader or front loader.
  • Such mobile machines have proven to be robust and durable. They are also available on the market in large numbers and are already available in stone, gravel and sand processing companies.
