Description

The invention relates to technologies used in the production of metallic zinc from its ore rocks containing compounds of this element, as well as to devices used to carry out the above processes for their processing into this, the above, the desired finished product.

To extract zinc from ore rocks containing its compounds, the so-called “pyrometallurgical method” has found wide enough industrial application. In accordance with this technology, the starting zinc concentrates are calcined in furnaces in a fluidized bed and zinc sulfide is converted to zinc oxide ZnO. The sulfur dioxide gas SO ₂ generated in this process is spent on the production of sulfuric acid.

The calcined zinc concentrate, which contains the above zinc compound, is reduced with coal or coke at 1200-1500 ° C.

ZnO + C → Zn + CO.

The metal vapors formed during this operation are condensed and poured into molds.

To carry out the above technological transition, mine electric furnaces can be used, and the process is carried out using the so-called “blast”.

The volume of molten metal obtained in a shaft furnace is subsequently settled at 500 ° C, thereby removing iron and lead impurities from it. The degree of purity of the metal obtained using the pyrometallurgical method can reach 98.7% (See the Internet article, abstract: “Properties and production of zinc”,

http://www.bestreferat.ru/referat-185023.html).

As can be clearly seen from the above information, the classical and long-established historical method for the recovery of metallic zinc from its initial ore materials containing compounds of this element is notable for a rather high degree of complexity of its implementation and is carried out using a large number of technological components necessary for this stages.

In addition, the final, already completely finished product, produced at the end of the above-mentioned known process, as it were, almost inevitably includes in its own composition “extremely” undesirable and incidentally obtained impurities - pollutants (iron; lead).

At the present time, one of the technologies known in the production of metallic zinc that is widely known and found to be widely used is the technology, namely, the so-called electrolytic (hydrometallurgical) method for extracting it from the initial ore materials containing compounds of this element .

In the implementation of the above known, and also found the widest application in the currently existing metallurgical production of the above method, the process flow diagram used below is used to process the initial ore rock.

At the very first “starting” stage of the process of recovering this element from its ore compounds, preliminarily calcined zinc-containing concentrates are treated with sulfuric acid.

The resulting sulfate solution is freed from impurities (the latter is precipitated using zinc dust). Purified in the above manner and containing zinc ions, the solution is subjected to electrolysis in the subsequent stages of the processing process. To carry out the previously noted process, galvanic baths are used, lined from the inside with plates of lead, or vinyl plastic.

In this case, zinc is deposited on aluminum cathodes, from the surface of which it is removed daily, and then the resulting metal powder is remelted in induction furnaces.

The degree of purity of the so-called “electrolyte zinc” extracted in accordance with the technological scheme indicated above may be 99.95% (see the same source — an article on the Internet “Properties and production of zinc” - further prototype).

According to statistics, by the hydrometallurgical method, metallic zinc is currently mined up to 70% of its total, obtained in world production of the total total amount.

However, this well-known technical solution, the prototype, has all the same significant drawbacks that were noted earlier when considering the features of another, almost the same analogue method.

As in the previous case, which was discussed in detail here earlier, the process of producing metallic zinc is carried out using a sufficiently significant and necessary to achieve the above goal, the number of "labor-intensive" technological transitions constituting it, that is, simply put, this kind of technology clearly belongs to the category "Multi-stage."

For example, the reduction of this metal from its initial ore compounds is carried out in at least two stages.

That is, the technological method is first used, during which the “annealing” of raw concentrates containing this element is first performed.

After that, then the “final” electrolytic refining is performed, during which an electrolyte is used, consisting of zinc salts containing its own salts. As the text of this technical solution mentioned above, the prototype, demonstrates that the technological scheme used for the manufacture of zinc metal does not guarantee the formation of its structure, which is almost completely free of any additional actively interfering with the correct conduct of its further operational use for the intended purpose, “inadvertently” impurities that have got into it - pollutants.

Among other things, it should also be noted that the implementation of the aforementioned known method for producing metallic zinc from initial ore compounds containing this metal is accompanied by large-scale and almost inevitable pollution of the environment surrounding this production environment with “emissions” of toxic volatile gas gas sulfur (SO ₂ ), which is included salts of this element used in the electrolytic solution.

All of the above inevitably increases the level necessary for the practical implementation of the known technology (prototype) and used in the process of its implementation, both financial and labor costs, and also has a negative impact on the quality characteristics obtained at the final stages of the processing of the finished product.

The aim of the invention is the formation, when carrying out the proposed method for producing metal zinc, of a complex of necessary and optimal conditions, the very fact of the presence of action of which would allow the synthesis of this metal directly from the compounds of the above element included in the composition used in the process of this component reduction of the original ore raw materials, with the simultaneous formation at the final stages of such a technology for processing raw material ready of the final product, which is a columnar ring monocrystalline formation, which must also have high intrinsic physical and mechanical characteristics, as well as the corresponding last degree of purity of the content of the main constituent element - zinc, and, in addition to all of the above , and also reducing the degree of structural complexity used in the proposal of the technology for the extraction of metallic zinc of this device.

Achieving the above goals is ensured by using the influence on the progress of the proposed method for processing the starting raw material of the following set of significant distinctive technical features.

First of all, it should be noted that the proposed method includes, in the course of its execution, the placement of a preformed and containing zinc compounds of the initial ore raw material mixture in the internal volume used for processing this device itself.

In the above apparatus, after the end of the operation of loading the feedstock, physical fields are generated that are superimposed on all zones in its cavity containing the processed raw material placed therein. Using these physical fields, the process of restoring the metal constituting the annular columnar single crystal from the ore material containing the starting compounds used for this element is performed.

The use of the same processing physical fields ultimately ensures the combination of individual metal particles included in the composition of the raw material mixture used in processing into an integral single monolithic metal structure, i.e. into this finished product itself.

Secondly, in the process of implementing the proposed method, the mixing of the components of the initial volume of the raw material and included in the last layer during its processing is necessarily performed. In this case, the finished product is also accumulated in the device area located in the impact zone of the above physical fields used in the processing of raw materials. At the end of the processing process, the finished metal monolithic formation is unloaded from the cavity of the device used.

When carrying out the proposed technology, the aqueous suspension obtained by introducing into a predetermined volume of water with the subsequent distribution of a mixture consisting of particles of the initial ore, an aqueous suspension, using an aqueous zinc compound. The dispersion of the constituent of the last of the above solid components is in the range of 0.001-0.008 mm, and their amount in the total volume of this aqueous suspension corresponds to a value of 40-70%.

The metal obtained at the end of the processing process is formed in the form of an annular columnar single crystal consisting of zinc, Zn.

As the physical fields acting on the raw materials, “triangular” magnetic fields are used, the intensity of which is 8 · 10 ⁴ ÷ 1,0 · 10 ⁵ A / m, and the oscillation frequency corresponds to a value of 20-50 units. per minute, and the “processing” clusters formed by these physical fields, consisting of lines of force belonging to them, have a configuration as close as possible to the outline of the spatial formation obtained by rotating a elongated rectangle that rotates about its own longitudinal axis of symmetry.

At the same time, the process of forming the finished end product in the form of an annular columnar single crystal is carried out on a mobile working chamber located directly in the center on a metal spacer rod acting as a “seed”, used to place the feedstock. On its lateral outer surface at the very first stage of processing, an annular layer is first formed, which is represented by slag waste obtained during processing. Then on this kind of “substrate” the necessary finished finished product is synthesized.

As already mentioned, the formation of the latter is carried out in the form of an annular columnar single crystal, which mainly consists of metallic zinc obtained from the initial ore compounds.

When processing using the proposed method of its implementation, the raw materials used are preloaded into a working chamber sealed from the rest of the device’s body.

The latter, during its execution, makes a reciprocating movement along the body cavity using the “round-trip” directions, and also carries out angular rotations relative to its own longitudinal axis of symmetry.

The above-mentioned angular rotations that make up this camera elements are first performed in a circular trajectory, the outline of which coincides with the clockwise movement on the dial - on the initial direct segment of the movement performed by it, and in the opposite direction, respectively, to complete the reverse processing cycle.

The very arrangement of the areas of formation of the "triangular" magnetic fields was made using three, or a multiple of this number, a different number of spiral-shaped installation cylindrical lines. The latter “encircle” the outer surface of the device’s body, in the cavity of which the reciprocating movement of the working chamber is loaded with the mass of processed raw material loaded into it.

In addition to all of the above, when implementing the proposed technology, the zone of formation of technological "triangular" magnetic fields that its working chamber periodically moves in the cavity of the device’s body periodically intersects, are removed from each other by the same mounting distance, and the number of areas in which the generation of the latter is carried out, is a value from nine to eighteen units per each spiral-shaped enclosing enclosure of the device used for their placement Properties curved path.

The process of recovering the metal entering the single crystal is carried out by supplying the layers of ordinary atmospheric air to the components of the processed volume of raw materials.

As the element that provides the fulfillment of this action, the reducing agent uses carbon present in the composition of the gases containing this component, which, in turn, form the jets themselves blown through the working chamber of the above product.

The mixing of the volume of the raw material used to obtain metallic zinc is performed in the process of moving it in the internal volume of the movable working chamber, which makes a reciprocating movement in the direction from the rear end of the device to its front part, and then vice versa. The above operation is performed by crushing and transferring from one region of the volume of the cavity of the working chamber to another constituent of the processed mass of its individual microports, which proceeds under the influence of blows created by the intersecting jets of compressed air supplied to the latter. The receipt of this product in the above zones is carried out under excess pressure, the value of which corresponds to a value of 0.4 ÷ 6.0 kgf / cm ² .

Sami of this kind of "jetting" into the component mass of the raw material layers of the jet stream flows are formed using specially designed for this action blowing elements - nozzles. The latter are evenly fixed on three installation spiral lines, which are laid between the corresponding turns of the curves used to place the magnetic generators.

Blowing elements that supply pressure consisting of the aforementioned product and directed directly to the volume of feedstock of this kind of “crossing” flows have both tangential and radial tilt angles of 30-45 ° relative to the surface on which this process material at a given time and located.

Downloading the raw materials used for processing, as well as unloading the finished columnar ring single crystal, consisting of metal zinc, at the end of the processing process, is carried out in a separate removable cap-compartment designed to perform the above technological transitions attached to the fixed main body of the device.

The device used for implementing the method for producing metallic zinc from an aqueous suspension of particles containing compounds of this ore element includes a two-part housing. One of the parts of this case is collapsible and is made in the form of a cap removable cap, mating with a fixed main cylindrical shell-body. Docking is carried out using annular flat connecting flanges, and the length of the fixed element of the above assembly is 80-85% of the value of its total length. The rest of its length falls on its removable part - a cap. In addition, a movable working chamber is installed in the cavity of the fixed part of the device case, kinematically connected by means of a running roller attached to the components of the last parts, with an external drive of movement, the presence of which ultimately allows its reciprocating movement along the internal cavity of this assembly case devices, in a round-trip direction, with simultaneously performed rotation of its structural elements relative to its own longitudinal axis of symmetry.

The direction of such rotation changes to the opposite at the time when the working chamber returns from the final position it occupied by this node to its original initial position.

The working chamber is formed by the left and right "piston-like" restrictive cheeks, fixed on the roller. Between the above parts of the composite working chamber, a spacer rod is mounted - a seed used to deposit the finished product obtained in it on its lateral outer surface.

At the same time, the cheeks of the working chamber that are moved inside the cavity of the assembly case of the device perform the functions of a double piston and have sealing seals on their outer side surface.

Focusing magnetic nozzles, as well as blowing nozzles, were passed through the walls of the fixed part of the housing to form compressed air jets entering the internal volume of this component of the assembly of the assembly, and, in addition, respectively, clusters of magnetic field lines generated by the focusing nozzles having the configuration elongated along a straight line lines of radial cylindrical rays - "logs".

The arrangement of both those and other structural elements of the device is made on cylindrical spiral lines encircling its body.

The number of such installation curves used to fix each such part is three, or any other number that is a multiple of this value, their units. The number of magnetic loops placed on each of these curved paths, which include focusing plates, is from nine to eighteen pieces.

Evenly spaced on similar in shape and using the same number of spirals located in turn between the turns used to arrange the magnetic contours of the curved installation lines, the blowing nozzles have both radial and tangential angles of 30-40 ° with respect to the surface of the housing on which they are mounted.

The working elements of the processing magnetic generators are made in the form of stacked plates of magnetically conductive material, with the formation of an F-shaped magnetic circuit during their installation.

Three electrical windings of the coil are located in the left and right halves of the circuit in the volume of the components of this assembly.

The total number of such coil windings placed in each circuit is thus six. The electrical elements of the magnetic circuit noted above fulfill the function of solenoids in it.

Each such winding coil is connected to the corresponding "pseudophase" of an external source of electrical power supply. The arrival of sets of electric pulses generated by this external power source, each of which has the shape of an “isosceles triangle”, is made to individual solenoids with an angular displacement of the signal components that make up these packets with respect to the same ones, but supplied to adjacent windings-coils, as well as to generators placed on adjacent mounting spirals.

The value of the above angular displacement is a value of 120 °. In the lower horizontal crossbar of each F-shaped magnetic generator, that is, the recess in it for this purpose, the shank of the cylindrical focusing nozzle is pressed in, the opposite end of which goes into the mounting hole made in the installation sleeve, passed through the walls of the fixed part of the housing. The aforementioned nozzle also has a cavity in the form of a depression with the configuration of a rotation hyperboloid formed on its lower end part and focusing magnetic field lines.

Obtained in places of passage through the walls of the housing of the mounting sleeves with focusing magnetic nozzles, as well as blowing nozzles, curved recesses on the inner side surface of its cavity are equipped with “smoothing” washers. The latter are made either of magnetic conductive powder pressed into the volume of these recesses - in the case of placement of magnetic focusing nozzles there, or in the form of split petal membranes of elastic rubber located near the outlet openings of the blowing nozzles.

In addition, exhaust pipes are mounted in the left and right halves of the fixed casing to discharge into the outside atmosphere the excess gas accumulated in the working chamber, equipped with pressure reducing valves. The triggering of these elements is carried out in the case when the pressure value of the volatile compounds formed in the volume of the mobile working chamber exceeds its value specified by the processing technology.

At the intersection of the body of these nozzles with the lateral inner surface of the stationary housing, plastic perforated smoothing washers are mounted, which ensure the smooth flow of the sliding process in these areas of the right and left cheek pistons that are part of the working chamber, as well as through the through holes provided in the above parts perforation of surplus gas volumes filling it.

In the upper part of the removable cap of the device there is a loading hopper, the internal volume of which through the through hatch in the installation area made in this part of the device’s body, communicates with the cavity located underneath the movable working chamber, which occupies the initial position before filling implementation of the processing cycle.

Based on the above features of the implementation of the proposed method, and also, given the fact that there is an application of the entire set of the previously mentioned significant structural features in the device used to implement this technology, we can finally conclude that the influence of the latter allows you to fundamentally change the nature of the process the formation of an annular columnar single crystal consisting of zinc metal obtained during processing of the original raw material rial containing the ore compound of this element.

In connection with the fact that the above circumstances exist, the previously mentioned technology begins to acquire the following characteristic differences inherent to it. Firstly, the latter should include the fact that the very initial stage of the implementation of the proposed method includes the stage of the so-called "ultrafine grinding" of pieces of initial ores containing zinc compounds.

During its implementation, any known methods of crushing bulk material known in industrial production, for example, performed using conventional ball mills, are used. When using the above device to achieve this goal, the pieces of the initial raw material used in the proposed technology were ground using the latter to obtain ore particles from them having overall dimensions in the range from 0.001 to 0.008 mm.

The implementation of the above operation to "grind" large lumps of rock and further provides the possibility of forming from the thus obtained "powder", consisting of these small ore particles, containing, in turn, zinc compounds, a kind of "dry residue", entirely formed from the above solid feed component.

The above ore components of such an initial mixture immediately before the crushing operation of the ore lumpy material used in its composition passes, respectively, through the preliminary dosage stage, at the end of which the further supply of the starting materials necessary for processing is guaranteed in a predetermined predetermined ratio, ensuring conservation from the technological percentage in the amount of raw materials used in its implementation. This technological transition itself, that is, this preliminary dosage, is most often carried out by weighing the ore components included in the raw material mixture (i.e., correspondingly, the required volume of zinc ore used in the future).

From this kind of “powder” obtained by carrying out “ultrafine grinding”, consisting of small particles of zinc rock, the formation of the raw material used to process the raw materials into a metal ring columnar single crystal is made, liquid, homogeneous, not stratified into separate components for a sufficiently long time a period of time, a mud-like mass - that is, the water suspension itself is made.

In order to synthesize the latter, it will only be necessary to add the required amount of water (30-60% of the total mass of this solid material) to the “powdery" volume consisting of small particles of the previously mentioned ore rock obtained in this way. After performing such an action, the two-component substance thus obtained (a mixture of solid particles plus water) is thoroughly mixed.

For the implementation of this technological transition, any industrial equipment designed to achieve the above goals can be used, for example, an ordinary paddle mechanical mixer. A homogeneous “mud-like” portion of the volume of the aqueous suspension formed at the end of its holding, consisting of these two components listed above, is then placed in the cavity of the loading hopper 2, which is part of the removable part of the housing itself used during the processing of the device. From the cavity of the loading hopper 2, a water suspension through a through-hole “B” (see FIG. 1) through the through-hole in the removable cap 4 flows by gravity into the interior of the mobile working chamber, located directly below the loading hopper, and formed by restricting it to the right and on the left side with cheeks - pistons 3, which are part of this assembly, indicated above. Upon completion of the operation of the complete withdrawal of all previously filled the volume of the feed hopper 2 of the raw material 1 in the above cavity of the mobile working chamber, the following steps are performed.

Immediately and simultaneously connected to external power sources, carrying out the formation and supply of "triangular" electrical pulses, all included in the composition of the F-shaped magnetic generators 11 of their winding-coil 13.

The roller 8 is set in motion and causes the structural elements making up the working chamber to move in the direction from the initial initial “left” position, to the very front “right” part of the fixed half of the device body 6. Simultaneously with the execution of the above translational motion at a speed of 40-60 mm / min, the details of the working chamber also carry out additional angular rotations relative to its own longitudinal axis of symmetry (2-4 rpm). In addition, to the external air supply line under excess pressure (0.4-6 kgf / cm ² ) connected to the spirals "D" passing between the corresponding turns of the installation curves "G" lines with the generators 11 fixed on them, blowing nozzles 10 .

Thus, starting the treatment cycle, the working chamber with the processed raw material 1 caught between the cheeks 3 forming it 3 is extended from the cavity of the removable cap 4 and passes after this action, directly into the internal volume of the fixed body 6 (see Fig. 1). As the value of the depth of penetration of the working chamber directly into the above cavity of this collection unit increases, the material placed in the last raw material 1 is subjected to a constantly amplifying force effect, which is realized as “penetrating” the layers that make up its mass and “intersecting” the jets of compressed from the nozzles 10 air, and from the side generated by the focusing nozzles 14 of the magnetic "beam" cylindrical flows "K" (see figure 3). Due to the fact that all the above structural elements are placed on the spirals “G” and “D” encircling the outer side surface of the housing 6 (3 units + 3 units), the internal cavity with a “turtle” speed crawling along the body 6 devices of the working chamber with the raw material 1 which is processed into metal and placed therein, when carrying out its movement, inevitably falls into the zone of influence of all these power energy formations listed above.

The above-mentioned spatial technological systems, consisting of the individual “physical” elements forming the last, have the same, strictly maintained own configuration, oriented in a certain way relative to the trajectory line that the working chamber lays when performing its translational movement along the inner surface of the device’s precast housing. That is, taking into account the fact of the presence of the action of the above circumstances, we can confidently assume the following: after a certain, rather insignificant period of time, in the space separating the left and right cheeks 3 of this assembly unit, a whole set of factors begins to form, formed by all listed above and used in the structure of the design of the device power spiral formations.

Firstly, a mass of processed raw materials 1 covering its bottom at the moment the working chamber performs such a translational movement from the initially occupied last position to the front end of the housing 6 rains a series of “intersecting air strikes” directed at different spatial angles.

Such a nature of the flow of action from the side of the air flows formed by the jet nozzles 10 is explained, first of all, by the selected scheme for mounting them on the housing 6 (that is, by placing them along the spiral line “D” encircling the housing of the device and at “oblique” angles to the housing surface, on which they are fixed).

Feeling the constant influence of the latter, the compact “heap” of raw materials resting in the very bottom of the working chamber, in the literal sense of the word, is “scattered” into separate, small, previously micro-volumes of it. These new “microscopic” raw material fragments obtained from the starting material are picked up by a peculiar vortex “tornado” “E” formed between the respective surfaces of the right and left cheeks 3 and then begin to perform circulation forcibly given by its action in the circulation creating such a spiral-like flow and generated using nozzles 10 making up this gas formation and its jets.

It should also be remembered that due to the ongoing and continuously carried out application of the above series, consisting of such airborne “attacks” generated in the processing zone, the smallest portions of the source material are torn off and distributed across all the components of the working chamber volume to its individual regions 1 will inevitably transform into aerosol bubbles formed from small air gas formations, as well as films of the liquid covering them, and also microscopic particles "sticking" to its surface Noah breed.

As already noted above, the entire volume of this kind of aerosol foam obtained in the previously indicated manner continues to flow continuously between the cheeks 3 bounding the cavity of the working chamber and directed along the orientation spiral defined by the vortex flow “E”, as if forced circulation.

The previously noted nature of the transfer of the constituents of this “aerosol” cloud of layers is protected throughout the entire period of time during which the working chamber is moved in the device casing 6 in a round-trip direction.

In the process of performing this previously forced forced circulation of the “foamed mass” obtained in the cavity of the mobile working chamber from the “aerosol bubbles”, ore microparticles placed on them necessarily “run” against the body cavity 6 piercing “through and through”, and therefore and constituting the separation space between the cheeks 3 of the mobile working chamber of the area, rectilinear cylindrical and radially directed, rotating clusters "K" belonging to create m in the device "triangular" magnetic fields.

The presence of this circumstance during the processing of raw materials, again again leads to the inevitable emergence of a number of new physical factors that influence and transform the structure of the ore components of the initial product.

In fact, each separately taken kind of “technological” aerosol bubble, in the process of making its own complex spatial movement along a curved three-coordinate trajectory, as it were, “tears” through the “picket fence” facing it, which again consists of separate generatrices arranged in a spatial spiral its "logs" - that is, clusters located radially in the cavity of the device and stretched directly in its constituent zones, and having a straight-line configuration ynyh cylindrical rotating around its axis of symmetry structural formations formed by magnetic lines of force.

Among other things, the “height” of these movements placed directly on the path of such an “aerosol foam” and, as it were, a kind of obstacle to it, are three at once built along the trajectory of the “stockade” it carries out (magnetic generators 11 are mounted on three encircling buildings 6 set spirals “G”), moreover, and continuously changes its own value.

That is, each log entering this kind of “fence” alternately increases its length, then again resets this parameter to almost zero, and with all this, it also rotates around its own longitudinal axis.

The aforementioned phenomenon occurs due to the fact that the sets of electric pulses sent to the generating magnetic fields solenoids 13 have a "triangular" shape (see Fig. 5 - pseudophases a, b, c), and are fed with an angular offset relative to each other.

In addition, the individual logs erected on the path of moving individual aerosol bubbles of this kind of "fence" also have mounting displacements relative to similar, but exactly the same "stockade" used in adjacent, adjacent to this (pulses supplied to solenoids 13 are also shifted in each pseudophase a, b, c sent to the solenoids at an angle of 120 ° - see Fig. 5).

The straightness of the outlines formed by the focusing nozzles 14 clusters (cylindrical logs) generated by the contours of 11 magnetic lines is ensured by the use of the so-called last concentrating recesses "M" made in the form of a recess in the form of a spatial rotation hyperboloid (see figure 3).

Based on the foregoing, we can come to the final conclusion that a “three-way” technological complex consisting of the above-mentioned magnetic barriers, some elements of which also change their height periodically, erected through the erected directly on the trajectory of their movement , and the microscopic particles of the processed raw materials rotate around their axis inevitably pass through the “continuous downpour" applied with the use of the entire possible set of spatial directions waves, as well as continuously changing the eigenvalue generated by the components of these "stockade" logs of powerful force blows.

Under the influence of the latter, the microscopic solid particles of the initial ore rock that are “attached” to the film coating of aerosol bubbles, the molecules of their compounds, containing the Zn metal forming the single crystal, are broken up into separate “fragmentary” components. At the same time, all types of valence bonds forming both their ionic and covalent bonds that previously formed their elements are broken.

The individual atoms previously made up of their molecules, under the influence of the powerful external continuously performed external energy action indicated above, rearrange their original structure - the electrons they have move from lower orbits relative to their core to higher ones, their spin moments change. As a result of all this, in the final final variant of carrying out such structural adjustment, atoms - “fragments” located directly in the processing zone and obtained in the above manner are converted into positively or negatively charged particles — that is, into ions. But this kind of technological complex, as if formed from a “vibrating peak” of a kind of jackhammers (this tool is the power flows generated by magnetic circuits 11 and sent through nozzles 14), “breaks”, and also turns into a set of “activated fragments” not only the compounds contained in solid raw materials and processed into the final product of the metal, but also “breaks” the gas molecules in the same zone containing the reducing element, that is, carbon. The latter, as already noted earlier, is part of the gases necessarily present in atmospheric air and its constituent gases (CO ₂ ; CH ₄ ).

The appearance of a carbon ion synthesized in the above manner, that is, a substance having the pronounced properties of a reducing component, in the immediate vicinity of activated by using powerful magnetic fluxes and previously obtained “fragmentation” fragments containing charged metal particles, and provides a “strong” connection of the released upon the “destruction” of the initial molecules-compounds of oxygen atoms, which subsequently instantly form strong valence bonds with the above-mentioned element, Applicant, and eventually removed from the field of treatment, becoming a new volatile compound gas. The volumes of gas thus formed leave the cavity of the working chamber at times when it moves through the installation zones of the exhaust pipes 18 (Fig. 1) equipped with pressure reducing valves 19. When the latter are actuated, they are configured for a specific and predetermined technological overpressure accumulated in the cavity portions of already unnecessary volatile compounds are sent through the upper end of the exhaust pipe 18 directly to the external atmosphere surrounding the device used.

These new metal components that arose in this way themselves are formed directly from the elements necessary for this and recovered from the compounds present therein and create in the processing area at the very initial stage of its implementation, still microscopic crystallization centers, mainly consisting of the final finished product thus obtained product.

Under the influence of the vortex flow circulating in the cavity of the working chamber and the artificially formed vortex there, they at this “starting” stage of processing move in it so far from its left cheek 3 to the right, and then vice versa, as if freely “floating” in it rotating spiral jets.

It is imperative that additional attention be paid to the fact that, when conducting a more detailed examination of the features of the technology for the formation of these metal, as if without any noticeable “difficulties”, “soaring” in the “tornado” and its constituent air layers nuclei ”of the future single-crystal ring formation, the presence of the fact of the action of one, but very significant circumstance, which facilitates, so to speak, the process of them unhindered, is inevitably revealed th appearance in the "white light".

Separate aerosol foam bubbles carried there by a spiral-shaped “hurricane” containing microparticles used in ore processing, moving in the volume of a mobile working chamber using a complex set of curved spatial paths, repeatedly change their position relative to their own three-axis symmetry axes. Moreover, such “foamy” bubbles also constantly shift “here and there”, “here and there”, in different directions from the direction of the metal recovery that is specially carried out in the zone of metal recovery and is continuously created in the device itself, which is necessary to perform the above operation, technological force action formed in the same processing area, where all these bubbles at a given time themselves are located.

Figuratively speaking, each separate raw material particle of this kind at the moment of applying a power processing blow exposes one “side” or the other under it, and continuously rotating at the same time, provides a reason for it to make up all its own volume and the microlayers of the source material .

Due to the action of the aforementioned factor, the processing magnetic fluxes generated in the device acquire the most optimal conditions for free access to all structural formations that make up these solid microparticles, and this ensures the highest possible speed of a kind of “transforming” and “changing” processing of incoming in the last of their starting compounds into the desired finished product.

As previously noted, this kind of free air “planning” of newly arising intermetallic nuclei in vortex-like jet flows continues until the mass of the latter becomes so significant for some objectively manifesting reasons that the gravitational force acting on them begins to significantly exceed aerodynamic lifting created by vortex formation.

This kind of "growth" of small grains into larger granules becomes possible due to the influence of two at once, which ensure the inevitable implementation in practice of this factor of simultaneously operating processes. In accordance with the first of the above, a grain of metallic zinc “flying” in the thickness of an aerosol cloud will inevitably fasten other, smaller solid particles surrounding it from all sides on its outer surface, appropriately placed at that moment in time on the smallest aerosol bubbles. The latter, encountering a solid “enormous” crystalline grain flying at them “directly in the forehead” at high speed, simply collapse, throwing out ore microparticles attached to the surface of this air bubble and transferred to it before it. As a result of the fulfillment of a number of such numerous collisions, the outer surface of the crystalline nucleus “hovering” in the air stream acquires a kind of “coat” consisting of microporosity scattered around it by other neighboring aerosol bubbles, and as a result of the above action “sticks” directly ore to him. Due to the fact that the process of its movement continues to take place in swirling air streams covering the “embryo” from all sides, the latter crosses repeatedly and periodically with its whole body created by installation spirals radially located along the installation spirals used in the device and piercing its clusters of magnetic lines of force of the physical fields generated there, a kind of “cylindrical vibrating fringe” processing and hanging in the volume of the working chamber itself.

The aforementioned processes of conversion contained in the layers of ore rock contained in the adhering to the crystalline nucleus body, consisting of compounds that are part of the final metal product, continue to be carried out there in accordance with the technological scheme already discussed above. As a result of this, the “enveloping” body of the “grain” transferred by the vortex flows of the “grain” of the previously obtained Zn element ultimately turns into a full-fledged metal coating uniformly distributed over the entire outer surface of the latter. Located directly under the very base of this metal film formed from a raw "fur coat" and adjacent to it, the "outer" layers of the crystalline nucleus in this case serve as a seed substrate, on which the process of its growth is carried out. As a result, a crystalline crystal of Zn metal “flying” through the cavity of a mobile working chamber, as a result of all this, significantly increases its initial overall dimensions, and, consequently, its volume and own mass.

Simultaneously with the scheme for growing large metal crystals noted above from any “germinal fines” formed earlier in the processing zone, there is another, second mechanism for synthesizing similar large-sized structural formations. The latter is carried out as follows. When performing complex spatial displacements in the space bounded by the cavity of the mobile working chamber with small, just newly crystallized metal grains of metal, situations inevitably arise when these microscopic metal “grains” directly collide with each other. Since in the zone of such “mutual collisions”, as a rule, clusters of magnetic lines of force are assembled in a cylindrical beam, that is, there is a kind of “processing fringe” created by the magnetic circuits 11 included in the device and focusing nozzles 14, the small metal nuclei that “collided” with each other as a result of this are glued together under the influence of the above-mentioned power “tools”, forming as a result a new composite structure. It is quite clear that it has large linear dimensions relative to those that had the original, constituting its individual formations.

In practice, the above-mentioned mechanisms for the formation of large-sized “scaly” structures from any metallic fines that appeared in the raw material processing area flow together and at the same time, which ensures the transformation of small crystalline grains that appear in it into a kind of large-sized structures from those obtained in the processing zone lumpy finished product.

Since the above “combined” formations are no longer able, due to a serious increase in their own weight, to continue the process of “free swimming” in the jets of the whirling air flow created in the cavity of the mobile working chamber, the latter fall vertically downward under the influence of gravitational forces, and reach the most extreme “lower” horizontal level of their possible subsequent placement in the device body. On the outer lateral surface of the seed rod 7, installed directly along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the device, an annular layer "G" has formed by this point in time (see Fig. 2), consisting of those formed during the direct reduction of metal from its ore compounds “Sticky” slag waste. The latter, as a rule, consist of 80-85% of the volume of so-called multicomponent slag waste (S; Fe; Cu; Pb) included in the aforementioned “tails” obtained and accumulated in this zone.

This intermediate layer “Zh” enveloping the outer surface of the seed rod 7 appears there primarily due to the fact that in the central zone of the working chamber aerodynamic forces practically do not act on the particles placed in it, which are created mainly by “peripheral” jets of the swirling swirling through it air flow "E". That is, this core - seed 7 is placed, as it were, in the very "eye of the storm", where the "calm" reigns always. Possessing good “adhesive” ability, small particles of slag waste synthesized in the working chamber under the influence of air flows created in its cavity and directed from its periphery to the center of the air (from the high pressure zone in the region of maximum vacuum) almost always carry out its own radially directional movement, which, ultimately, collects them together and causes them to “stick together” in the encircling rod - the seed 7, the annular layer “G” (see figure 2). The latter has a rather "loose" structure, and subsequently easily disconnects into its component parts when the finished product is removed from the device body, which has the shape of an annular columnar single crystal "And" (see figure 2).

Similar processes take place when receiving the metal-containing end product in the device. That is, a part of the strongly “sprawled” crystalline nuclei of the synthesized metal falls down, falling directly onto the outer surface of the annular layer of “Ж” slag located in the center of the chamber and formed there earlier and is stuck on its plane in contact with them, creating this, as it were, “secondary zones” of the course of further growth in the volume of the final finished formation formed there. Once again, the same grains consisting of an element synthesized in the treatment zone begin to use these pieces of metal that have previously fallen into the above region as a supporting base substrate, which allows their further growth to occur and, ultimately, formation due to “fusion” of all these individual “grains” into an integral monolith, of the finished product — a columnar ring single crystal, consisting mainly of one zinc.

A somewhat different picture is observed when metal grains that increase their own initial mass, due to the action of any complex of negative factors, fly “past the target” —that is, they fall down, bypassing the central core-seed 7, and eventually fail in the lowest region of the fixed body 6.

Once on its very “bottom”, they can either fall directly onto the petals of the split smoothing washer 17 (see FIG. 4), covering the nozzle outlet 10, or onto the surface of a kind of gap separating such distributed over the lateral outer surface of the assembly 6 included in its composition blowing elements 10.

In the first version, a “blasting” stream of compressed air at a sufficiently high pressure, bending the radial petals of the smoothing washer 17 to the side (see Fig. 4), immediately throws a “grain” of metal into this zone at an inclined angle towards that plane, on which it lay, as well as up.

As a result of performing the above own movement, the direction of which is determined by the existing tangential and radial angles of inclination of the blowing nozzles 10 installed on the sheathing spiral “D”, and a metal particle falling under the impact of an air stream will either be thrown into the central region of the working chamber and as a result of this again however, it will be glued to the growing single crystal “I”, or will come into direct contact with the surface of the cavity that limits the cavity of the moving working chamber with one of its sides n of the piston cheek 3. With this collision, the “metal grain” makes a rebound, and again, it either “bounces” off the plane of this element of the device and moves to the “core” of the working chamber filled with an expanding metal “I” single crystal, or it hits again in the lower region of the housing 6. In this case, the cycle of movement of the metal grains is repeated in exactly the same way. On the other hand, the “metal grains” that fell on the “isthmus of the isthmus” between the nozzles 10 installed in the device’s body sooner or later are pushed out from the place of their initial basing by the surface of the continuously and progressively moving cheek-piston 3 of the working chamber, which, moreover, also “scrolls” around own longitudinal axis of symmetry.

Thus, this part of the metal particles accumulated on the "bottom" of the housing 6 is "retracted" to parts of its surface through which jets of compressed air entering the volume of the working chamber are passed.

Finding ourselves in these areas of the surface of the housing 6, and this accumulation of “grains” of the finished final product obtained in the working chamber will go through the entire previously analyzed cycle, consisting of “rebounds” and “rebounds”, which ultimately, due to the action of ordinary laws of statistical probability , will force the latter to take the necessary final position fixed right in the thickness of the grown single crystal “AND”.

The above-mentioned processes of forming an annular columnar single crystal “And” on a seed rod 7 (see FIG. 1) continue throughout the entire period of time during which the working chamber is moved, back and forth corresponding dimension of which in connection with the above above and is 15-20% of the value of this parameter, which determines the total length of the device used for its movement. Based on the need to create optimal conditions for completing the processing, the choice of the value of the speed of its longitudinal feed (40-60 mm / min) was made. The working chamber makes angular rotations of the latter around its own longitudinal axis of symmetry at an insignificant speed - only 2-4 rpm.

When reversing to the other side (the reverse segment of the path of its movement carried out by the working chamber), the seed rod 7 “wraps” metal layers formed around it onto its outer surface, thereby increasing the uniformity of the distribution of their own thicknesses obtained in these zones along the entire length of the body of a single crystal “I” formed in the working chamber.

So, having reached its extreme final front “right” position and having received the appropriate commands from the external power supply and control unit used as part of the device, the working camera begins to move in the opposite direction, that is, it begins to move to the very back “left” part of the device 6 until she again takes the same initial position in the cavity of the removable cap 4, in which she was at the very initial stage of the processing process. During the implementation of this part of the cycle of this kind of reverse movement of this working unit of the device, which is performed at the same speed as the direct one, the processes of “final completion” of the formation of the resulting columnar ring single crystal consisting of zinc element continue to be carried out in it. That is, in fact, its configuration and composition are being refined to the final standards required by the processing technology.

Having moved to the leftmost position and having again taken its initial position, upon completion of the above steps, the working chamber of the device ends thereby the entire cycle of the process of processing the feedstock into the desired final product. Accordingly, at this stage they are switched off: a drive that ensures reciprocating and rotational movement of the working chamber, the solenoids 13 of the magnetic generators 11 are de-energized, and the nozzles 10 are disconnected from the external supply line of compressed air. In this case, from the back of the housing 6 due to the release of the pressed flanges 9, the removable cap 4 is disconnected.

After that, the piston-like cheek 3 is unscrewed and the nut 9 is pulled to the supporting shoulders of the seed rod 7, and the cheek 3 is removed from the corresponding end of the roller 8 (see FIG. 1). The single crystal made of metal zinc “I” obtained by processing, due to the presence of an intermediate loose layer of slag waste “Ж”, easily collides with the outer surface of the seed rod 7 and is sent for its intended use. The processing cycle can be considered complete.

The processes of direct reduction themselves of the constituent element obtained by the single crystal element from its ore compounds at the time they are exposed to by artificially created powerful magnetic fluxes are carried out in accordance with the following schemes for the conversion of the starting components.

CO ₂ → C ⁺⁴ + 2O ^-2 ; H ₂ O → 2H ⁺ + O ^-2 ;

CH ₄ → C ⁺⁴ + 4H ⁺ + 8e;

S ⁰ → S ⁺⁴ + 4e;

ZnCO ₃ → ZnO + CO ₂ ;

2ZnS + 3O ₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO;

ZnO + C + ⁴ → Zn ⁺² + CO + 6e;

S ⁺⁴ + 2O ^-2 → SO ₂ ;

Zn + ² + 2e → Zn ⁰ ;

CO + CO → 2C ⁺⁴ + 2O ^-2 + 4e;

H ⁺ + H ⁺ → H ₂ + 2e;

2H ⁺ + O ^-2 → H ₂ O

where e is an electron; or a single charge with a negative value of the intrinsic valency obtained in the process of ionizing the atoms that make up the raw materials and form them.

Thus, by considering the synthesis of components of an annular columnar single crystal of metal from its compounds, carried out in accordance with the above schemes, it can be concluded that directly and inverse molecular transformations continuously occur directly in the processing zone during the implementation of the proposed method of raw materials with a shift in the chemical equilibrium formed in it towards the formation of single-crystal columnar in this region structure - created from the zinc element, as well as the external atmosphere that escapes into the device used in the process, emitted during the complex of these reactions of the microvolumes of the above volatile gaseous products (CO ₂ ; H ₂ O; H ₂ ; SO ₂ ).

Thus, their previous analysis allows us to state that the carbon element С ⁺⁴ в is obtained from carbon-containing molecules that are part of the atmosphere and include this component (CO ₂ ; CH ₄ ) of gases during magnetic strikes applied to them as a result, it takes away from the corresponding zinc compounds the atomic oxygen released during the decomposition of these components, while being tightly attached to the latter. In addition to direct ones, as was previously reported, reverse reactions also occur in the treatment zone, during which volatile gases are formed that have, under the conditions of this powerful and continuously performed energy exposure, a minimum of their internal energy (H ₂ O; CO ₂ ; SO ₂ , etc.).

Due to the influence of the entire complex of conditions indicated above, the new metal formation thus obtained is a ring columnar crystal stable with respect to the effects of all these external, artificially created force factors and possesses the same predetermined spatial configuration, the components of which do not pass in combination with other active components located next to it under the conditions of this intensively conducted energy exposure.

The characteristic features of crystallization of the individual metal components included in it should include, first of all, the fact that the formation of these last and the above structural elements is clearly defined by such a basic parameter of the technological process of processing as the magnitude of the tension formed in the zone of the initial transformation metal compounds into the necessary final product, generated there are "triangular" magnetic fields.

That is, the very possibility of obtaining it is determined, first of all, by the urgent need for strict adherence to the established technology for processing raw materials, the lower limit of the range of possible changes in the value of this parameter (the tension in the processing zone should always be ≥6 × 10 ⁴ A / m), and the oscillation frequency used in the synthesis of zinc metal processing physical fields can correspond only to a value of 20-50 units. in one minute.

In general, it should be considered that the previously mentioned specific features inherent in the processing technology performed in the aforementioned manner allow simulating the conditions of the so-called "zone melting". That is, the implementation of the process of growing a crystal in a constantly moving chamber in the cavity of the working chamber with its angular rotations around its own longitudinal axis of symmetry, the supply of "triangular" pulses having angular displacements relative to each other and in adjacent, supplying packets of their composed pseudophases, ultimately, and ensures the formation of the crystalline structure obtained in the device in the form of a columnar annular monolithic formation, consisting solely of one a main entering the last element - metal - namely zinc.

Other pollutants, which are also present in the composition of the impurities present in the initial raw material mixture, will inevitably be converted to new crystalline formations, subsequently of which finely dispersed bulk slag waste appears at the end of the processing. The latter are miniature gray grains with a greenish tint, with overall dimensions from 0.3 to 0.8 mm. The composition of these "tails" for the most part is represented by compounds of sulfur, lead, copper, cadmium and iron.

The above-mentioned slag waste can be used after additional grinding and mixing with water to form products consisting of electrical insulating, refractory ceramics.

In the role of the feedstock for the implementation of the proposed method can be various concentrates of ore rocks, which include any zinc compounds as one of the constituents of the latter components. Their processing can be carried out without involving any additional operations for their preliminary post-treatment.

The processing of the raw feed slurry, carried out in accordance with the proposed technology, is performed when the intensity of the "triangular" magnetic fields, measured directly in the cavity of the working chamber used, is 6 × 10 ⁴ ÷ 8 × 10 ⁴ A / m. The oscillation frequency of these power formations used for processing the initial ore materials is in the range from 20 to 50 units, passed through the solenoids of the processing magnetic circuits of the "triangular" pulses for one minute.

When performing the proposed method for processing raw materials, i.e. upon receipt of zinc metal from the initial ore material, a technological magnetic system mounted on three encircling the outer side surface of the housing was used, in turn, consisting of F-shaped magnetic circuits, in the lower part of which there were focusing nozzles passed through the walls of this assembly unit of the device, placed in installation sleeves. The number of such magnetic generators fixed on each installation spiral passing through the device casing was from nine to eighteen units.

The F-shaped magnetic contours that process the raw materials are mounted on the surface of the device case in such a way that the focusing nozzle in them, located in the mounting cavity of the installation sleeve, passes through its walls in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of this assembly (i.e., at an angle 90 ° to the installation spiral line).

The angles at which the blasting nozzles were fixed were equal to 30-45 ° (both tangential and radial) relative to the surface of the casing on which they were mounted. The installation of these nozzles 10 was carried out in exactly the same way as the processing magnetic circuits 11, that is, also using three mounting spirals. In the feed hopper 2, which is directly included in the removable flap cap 4, 60 liters of the initial raw material mass were charged before starting the process of producing metal zinc. The latter was a two-component mud-like aqueous suspension obtained by mixing small, consistency of powder particles of zinc ore in a given volume of water. The solid components used in the composition of this initial raw material product, forming the so-called “dry residue” in it, were obtained from the nearest processing plants where concentrates were made from quarry ore rocks being developed nearby, in order to further use the resulting product to satisfy the relevant the needs of existing metallurgical production.

Before starting the preparation of the raw aqueous suspension, an operation was carried out to break up the pieces of ore concentrates of the pieces that are described above into fine particles, carried out using a conventional ball mill. Before crushing pieces of rock, dosing of the ore concentrates used in the "dry residue" of the used raw material mixture was carried out, which ensures the formation of the latter with the specified technology by the content of its starting components (zinc compounds).

The particles of the feedstock taught during the "ultrafine grinding" had overall dimensions in the range from 0.001 to 0.008 mm. The processing time of the above volume of raw materials using this kind of “three-helix” magnetic system containing F-shaped processing magnetic circuits with radial focusing nozzles, and using the previously indicated range of magnetic field strengths, averaged 20-26 minutes. The yield of the finished metal single crystal, calculated on the use of 60 liters of raw water suspension for its production, reached a value of 30 kg to 32.5 kg (50% -54% of the total volume used in processing it). These indicators come close enough to the theoretically possible limit that determines the total amount of the necessary metal produced from the initial mass of the raw material for the indicated percentage of zinc compounds used in the processing process and including this component of the used ore rocks.

The concentration of the main component of the formed columnar ring monocrystal of the zinc element, in the total mass of the latter, has a value of 99.99999% (That is, metal zinc made in accordance with the above technological scheme of the processing process should definitely be categorized as “chemically” clean.).

The proposed method for producing metallic zinc is performed at room temperature (17-27 ° C), and the processing of the feedstock is carried out under the action of jets of compressed air supplied to the zones of structural transformations under an overpressure of 0.4 ÷ 6.0 kgf / cm ² .

The technological modes assigned for the processing of initial raw materials are the intensity of the "triangular" magnetic fields, the frequency of oscillations that create these fields of current pulses, the processing time, the amount of excess pressure in the volumes of compressed air supplied to the raw material (etc., etc.) .d.), are assigned on the basis of considerations of the formation of the most optimal conditions for the accelerated flow of structural transformations of the decree compounds included in the ore specified by the metal production technology of the above element into this necessary final product itself, that is, a columnar ring single crystal consisting of it.

The percentage in the mixture of "dry residue formed from solid particles used to obtain the metal of the original ore rocks in the composition of the aqueous suspension used in the processing is determined based on the presence of the following factors.

When the concentration of this type of component in the latter is less than 40%, the raw material used automatically turns into “poor”, which negatively affects the performance indicators of the process of processing raw materials, since the yield of the required final product is significantly reduced. With an increase in its content above a value of 70%, the processed raw material sharply reduces the indicators determining the degree of its plasticity. This, in the end, significantly complicates the process of moving it from the volume of the loading hopper into the cavity of the mobile working chamber, as well as the subsequent transfer of the microportions of this material that make up the mass of raw materials through the zones for generating processing magnetic fields located in it.

The sizes of the particles used to obtain an aqueous suspension of ore rocks, the dimensions of which are determined by a value of 0.001 ÷ 0.008 mm, are determined on the basis of the need to form with their use a “stable” plastic mud-like raw material mass.

The latter should not be stratified into its individual components for the time period necessary for the complete completion of the processing process.

To perform the process of producing metal zinc, carried out using the proposed method, a mixture was used consisting of an ore concentrate containing zinc compounds (respectively, the so-called "zincite").

Used as the main source component to obtain the necessary raw material, the ore rock itself contained in its composition:

Zirconium concentrate:

1. Compounds Zn (ZnO; ZnCO ₃ ; ZnS) - 66%;

2. Pb lead compounds - 2.1%;

3. Copper compounds Cu - 1.7%;

4. Compounds of cadmium Cd - 0.42%;

5. Iron compounds Fe - 7.2%;

6. Sulfur S - the rest, up to 100%.

Immediately prior to grinding the above-mentioned rock, it was pre-dosed, ensuring that the content of the latter was used in the so-called “dry residue” used in the preparation of a viscous aqueous suspension in the following amounts:

zinc concentrate - 40-70%;

water H ₂ O - the rest, up to 100%.

When carrying out all of the experiments below to obtain metallic zinc using the proposed method to achieve this goal, the same type of raw material was used containing the above components, including zinc compounds having the same composition previously noted here.

Before the preparation of the aqueous suspension loaded into the processing device, pieces of the initial ore component used in it were crushed using a ball mill to obtain from these bulk materials included in these large-sized particle formations, the dispersion of which corresponded to a value of 0.001-0.008 mm.

The final product formed at the end of the processing process was a columnar ring single crystal consisting of metallic zinc, and tailings, fine-grained slag waste, were formed from the impurities that are part of the ore used. Milled into small particles, that is, to a “powder” state, containing compounds of zinc and other components - impurities, the initial ore rocks were then poured with a predetermined processing technology by the volume of water and mixed in it until all of the above raw materials were obtained with a uniform, viscous plastic mud-like suspension.

After the manufacture of the latter, the mass of dirt-like substance formed during this operation was loaded directly into the loading hopper of the device used to obtain the metal alloy.

Further, the process of implementing the proposed method is illustrated using a number of examples below.

Example 1. In a feed hopper 2 having a volume of 60 l, was placed an aqueous suspension containing a raw material mixture, which included solid particles obtained from zincite concentrate. The content of this “dry residue” in the volume of the aqueous suspension used during the treatment was 40% (24 kg). The remaining mass of the load was represented by water - 60% (36 liters).

After completion of the loading operation of the source material being processed 1 and the completion of the operation for releasing the inner cavity of the hopper 2 from it, from where the mud-like water suspension through gravity hatch “B” by gravity entered directly directly into the space of the mobile working chamber, the following were simultaneously turned on:

- an external drive of the device, providing reciprocating movement of the roller 8, as well as kinematically connected with it by the working chamber itself, while simultaneously performing angular rotations around its own longitudinal axis of symmetry;

- all winding coils 13 included in the magnetic circuits 11 were connected to the electronic unit present in the circuit of an external source of electrical supply, the presence of which provided a supply to the above elements of the pulse packets, each of which had the shape of an “isosceles triangle”;

- through all the blowing nozzles 10 placed on the housing 6 of the device, the supply of compressed air jets began.

Its receipt to the above-mentioned blowing elements 10 from an external supply line in this example was carried out under an overpressure of 0.4 kgf / cm ² . The tension generated in the cavity of the working chamber and having the form of a kind of spiral-shaped “cylindrical” “fringe” of “triangular” magnetic fields corresponded to a value of 6 × 10 ⁴ A / m.

The frequency of arrival of pulses having the configuration of a "triangle" on the coil-coil 13 of the generators 11 was 50 units in one minute.

The mobile working chamber moved from the loading zone to the front “right” end of the device body 6, and then back to its original “left” position at a speed of 40 mm / min. Moreover, she made revolutions around her own longitudinal axis of symmetry. The number of the latter was 4 rpm. When making the transition from “direct displacement” of the working chamber to “reverse”, the direction of rotation of the structural components making it was reversed, which changed to the opposite.

The time of the entire processing cycle of the starting raw material 1 in the total result was 26 minutes (0.43 hours).

The raw material mass 1 moved “back and forth” together with the movable working chamber under the influence of magnetic irradiation carried out in the device, generated by the generators 11 and focusing nozzles 14, was transformed into a columnar ring single crystal “I” upon completion of the processing process. The latter was deposited directly on the slag waste layer “Ж”, covering the lateral surface of the spacer rod-seed 7, and consisted entirely of zinc metal Zn. The content of this metal element indicated above in the volume of the final product thus formed was 99.99999%.

The color tone of the obtained single crystal was silver-gray. The mass of the thus obtained final finished product corresponded to a value of 10.4 kg. The weight of the processing of fine-grained slag waste was 7.6 kg. The rest of the mass of the original raw material was spent on the formation of volatile gas compounds that were ejected from the cavity of the device into the outside atmosphere.

Example 2. The processing of feedstock was carried out in accordance with the same scheme as was indicated in example 1.

The initial raw material mixture contained a “dry residue”, the amount of which relative to the total volume of water suspension used was 70% (42 kg). The remaining volume of the initial product was water - 30% or 18 liters. The air supply to the processed raw materials was carried out under excess pressure equal to 6.0 kgf / cm ² . The working chamber was moved with the source material loaded into it at a speed of 60 mm / min, and the angular rotation of the structural elements included in it was carried out with the value of this parameter corresponding to 2 rpm.

The tension generated in the volume of the working chamber and forming there a spiral-shaped cylindrical magnetic fringe - the “stockade” of physical fields corresponded to 8 × 10 ⁴ A / m. The number of 13 “triangular” electrical pulses transmitted through the coil windings of the 13 magnetic generators was equal to 20 units per minute.

The processing time under these conditions corresponded to a period of 20 minutes (0.33 hours). The weight of the columnar ring single crystal formed from zinc metal Zn obtained at the end of this process was 22.2 kg. The amount of the crystalline structure of the above element entering the deposited on the seed rod during processing was equal to 99.99999%.

The remaining amount of unused raw material was used up to obtain fine-grained slag waste - 16.2 kg and volumes of volatile gas compounds sent to the outside atmosphere.

Example 3. The processing obtained from the particles of the source ores of the rocks of the raw material suspension was carried out in accordance with the same scheme as was already indicated in examples 1, 2.

The content of the so-called “dry residue” in the composition used in the processing of the aqueous suspension formed from particles of ore rocks included in its mass amounted to 60% of its total amount or 36 kg. The remaining volume of the raw suspension was water - 40% (24 liters).

The supply of compressed air through the blowing nozzle 10 was carried out under an overpressure of 4 kgf / cm ² .

The longitudinal movement of the working chamber along the housing of the device was carried out at a feed rate of 50 mm / min. The angular rotation speed of its constituent elements was equal to a value of 2.8 rpm.

The intensity of the processing magnetic fields generated in the volume of the working chamber was 7 × 10 ⁴ A / m. The number of 13 "triangular" pulses suppressed from the external power source, suppressed to the coil windings, was equal to 40 units per minute. The processing time corresponded to a value of 22 minutes (0.3666 hours).

As a result of the process of processing the feedstock on the seed rod 7, a columnar ring single crystal was formed entirely consisting of a zinc element. The weight of the obtained crystal was 17.2 kg. The degree of purity of the content in its composition of the main compound forming it - the Zn metal, corresponded to a value of 99.99999%. The rest of the material used to obtain the material was spent on the formation of finely dispersed slag waste of 11.4 kg, as well as volatile gas compounds sent to the outside atmosphere.

As can be clearly seen from the above examples of the implementation of the proposed method for producing metallic zinc Zn, subject to the processing modes specified by the processing technology, formed in the working chamber of the device used in the form of a silver-white ring-shaped single crystal, i.e. its finished end product has, first of all, a high degree of purity of the content in this formation, the main constituent of the last element of Zn - “seven nines”. That is, metal zinc made in the above manner is clearly included in the category of “chemically pure”.

This ring-shaped single crystal obtained in the device used itself, as it were, consists of granules sticking together with an “ellipsoidal” shape, with the dimensions of these “scales” forming it, 8-12 mm, and the thickness of the walls forming this product varies between 15-20% .

The aforementioned crystalline formation “breaks down” into separate granule pieces that previously comprised it, even when minor mechanical forces were applied to it.

Obtained in accordance with the previously indicated technological scheme (examples 1, 2, 3) of processing the feed ore ore, metallic zinc has the following set of its own technical characteristics:

1. The specific volumetric weight of 6.98 g / cm ³ ;

2. The melting temperature T _PL - 730 ° C;

3. Specific volume electric resistance, ρ - 26 N · Ohm · M;

4. The coefficient of linear expansion is 14 · 10 ^-6 · K ^-1 ;

5. Maintains ductility in the temperature range - 50-350 ° C;

6. Tensile strength σpr - 0.4 GPa;

7. Shear modulus - 28 GPA;

8. Young's modulus - 92 GPa;

9. External surface hardness HRC - 56-58 units;

10. Does not react with a 30% aqueous solution of concentrated inorganic acids (H ₂ SO ₄ ; HNO ₃ ; HCl) while holding a sample of such a metal for 120 hours. The same is observed when the fabricated Zn metal is immersed in an aqueous KOH solution; NaOH with a content of the above components of 300 g / liter (the duration of the tests is the same 120 hours).

Based on everything noted above, one should also pay attention to the fact that the process of formation of metallic zinc Zn, which is characterized by a high degree of purity, that is, as if most of this element consists of a new crystalline formation that practically does not contain any extraneous contaminants and, in addition, also possessing high intrinsic physical and mechanical properties, as well as a kind of “refractoriness”, can be quite successfully carried out with hostname widespread and long-used to meet the respective needs of the existing steel production of ore concentrates, without holding it for any additional operations on their respective post-treatment or refinement.

Further, in the materials presented below, structural principles are set forth in accordance with which the device itself used to implement this method is implemented. The presence of the latter, in turn, ensures that the necessary positive effect is obtained during the application of this unit.

The volume of the inner cavity of the latter is formed between the right and left piston-shaped cheeks 3.

Pos.7 - an expansion rod-seed, on which the products of processing the feedstock obtained in the volume of the movable working chamber are deposited, and also with it, rigid fixing of the left and right cheeks 3, which are part of the moving assembly in the cavity of the housing 6, is performed .

Based on the foregoing, it is imperative to dwell on the necessary clarifications regarding the design features of the performance of the apparatus proposed for processing the feedstock itself.

As can be clearly seen from the drawings presented in the application, the production of annular columnar monocrystals “I”, consisting exclusively of metallic zinc, flows directly into the cavity of the mobile working chamber formed by the right and left cheeks 3 belonging to it.

Its total length is 1/5 relative to the size of the same dimension, which determines the corresponding size of the entire proposed structure. The piston-shaped cheeks 3 are fixed in this, the aforementioned assembly, by “stringing” them onto the roller. In the process of mounting to the “standard” position, the above structural elements are passed along the lateral outer surface of this part and reach the persistent end shoulders of the rod — the seed 7. When they reach the end position indicated here, they are finally fixed in it with threaded nuts 9 (see figure 1). The winding of these fasteners 9 is carried out according to the thread made on the corresponding parts of the surface of the roller 8 (not shown). In addition, on the outer side surface of the piston-shaped cheeks 3 forming a working chamber with a single crystal grown in its cavity, plastic sealing elements are installed to ensure isolation of its volume from its external environment (not shown in the seal drawing). Upon completion of the processing process, the working chamber enters, finally, again in the cavity of the removable cap 4, occupying a fixed extreme position there.

The removable cap 4 after the end of the placement of this working chamber in it and the stop of the movement drives used in the device, as well as all the systems servicing it, is disconnected from the fixed part of the housing 6. This kind of assembly is disassembled by releasing the coupling flat annular flanges 5 carried out by loosening and moving to the starting position of the quick-release fastener used in the assembly (not shown in the drawing). After removing the cap 4, the nut 9 was released, with the help of which the right cheek was fixed 3. The latter, in turn, without any special difficulties, is removed from the corresponding end of the roller 8 at the end of all the transitions listed above, thereby opening up free access to the annular columnar single crystal “I” located on the seed-rod 7. This metal formation can then be moved to the left without particularly noticeable and necessary efforts, and subsequently completely removed from the apparatus used to obtain it.

The roller 8, providing a “helical” movement of the working chamber during processing of the initial raw material mixture, is connected to the corresponding external drive, the presence of which allows the necessary changes in its angular positioning, as well as the translational movement of the constituent components of the latter along the cavity of the housing 6, to round-trip direction. That is, first to the front "right" end of the housing 6, and then from it to the very rear "left" part of this device.

For the installation of the processing magnetic circuits 11, a set of curved lines is used, consisting of three installation spirals “G”. The blowing nozzles 10 are likewise fixed also on the corresponding three curved paths “D”, laid between the turns making up the installation lines “G”.

To prevent premature failure of the plastic sealing seals mounted on the outer side surface of the left and right cheeks 3, at the joints of the power units 10 and 11 used in the device, with the walls of the housing 6, the following technique is additionally applied.

In the zone of formation of the curvilinear cavity, obtained when the above-mentioned elements 10 and 11 of this structure intersect with the lateral inner surface of the cavity of the fixed part of the housing 6, additional “smoothing” washers 16 and 17 are placed.

Their surface facing the volume of the cavity of the housing 6 has a shape that completely copies the configuration of the curved cylindrical inner side surface of this assembly. That is, in the places of their own installation, they by their mass “hermetically” overlap obtained by passing their own mounting holes through the corresponding surfaces of the body cavity, a kind of cutting “edges”, and form there a kind of “patch”, which provides an “ideal” match and “ alignment "adjacent to each other" neighboring "planes (as if connecting them" flush ").

In this case, the washer 16 is made of a finely dispersed metal powder pressed into the aforementioned curvilinear recess, which has a low value of its specific magnetic resistance (for example, of small cobalt particles).

The “smoothing” washer 17, in order to ensure the passage of 10 jets of compressed air formed in the nozzles, is made in the form of elastic rubber petals extending from the center, which open at the moment of supply of the above product and close back under the influence of the “pressing” lateral outer surface elastic along the body cavity and having cheek seals 3. The most successful material for the manufacture of the above structural element will be elastic rubber.

In the same way, the docking areas are formed, the exhaust gases of the nozzles 18 with the internal cavity of the housing 6. In the area of the appearance of exactly the same curved recesses during installation of the latter, smoothing plastic washers are again placed, but in this particular embodiment they will be provided with through holes perforations large enough to allow the passage of microvolumes of volatile gas compounds, but at the same time too “small” to allow passage of solid particles through them ore rocks being abatable in the working chamber (the unit is not shown in the drawing of the above).

The installation of the blowing nozzles 10 is carried out on three spiral cylindrical lines "D" with the formation of tangential β and radial α ° angles of inclination to the outer surface of the housing 6 at the points of their fastening. The value of the above angles is 30-45 °.

The installation of magnetic F-shaped circuits 11 is carried out in exactly the same way using three cylindrical spiral lines “G” laid on the outer surface of the housing 6. The number of power nodes located on each of these three curved trajectories “G” is from nine to eighteen units.

Fastening of the F-shaped generators is carried out using the installation sleeves 15, the mounting internal cavity of which in the upper part is threaded (not shown in the drawing). The bushings 15 pass through the walls of the housing 6, forming an angle equal to 90 ° relative to its outer surface.

The assembly 11 itself, consisting of an F-shaped magnetic circuit and a focusing nozzle 14 pressed into its lower part, also has a fixing fastening thread made on the outer side surface of the nozzle 14. At the moment of the final fixing of the latter on the body of the body 6, it is screwed into the sleeve 15, occupying a predetermined device design, requires an end position (threads are not shown in the drawing).

The recess “M”, located in the very lower part of the focusing nozzle 14, at its end, provides the formation of a physical field with its magnetic, “radial beam” lines “K”, which are very elongated in length, creating a kind of “processing spiral cylindrical in the body cavity” fringe. "

Each of the winding coils 13 that is part of the F-shaped circuit is connected to its “pseudophase” (or “a”; or “b”; or “c” - see FIG. 5) of an external electric power supply that provides power to it through the corresponding electronic circuit in it, sets of packets of triangular pulses of electric current. Each component of the last separate impulse has corresponding displacements - segments t ₁ ; t ₂ , marked in figure 5, relative to the same generated in adjacent "pseudophases" (in the drawing, the external power source is not shown). Installation of the device case with all the assembly units located on it on the technological basis itself was carried out using a system consisting of ordinary mounting racks (these elements are not shown in the drawing).

To fix in the position specified by the processing technology, as well as to perform subsequent disconnection of the cap 4, a quick-release fastener system is used (not shown in the drawing).

The central hole in the front end cap-plug 20, through which the drive roller 8 passes, has sealing seals installed on its inner side surface (not shown in the drawing). Their presence provides isolation of the internal cavity of the fixed part of the prefabricated housing 6 from the external atmosphere, and at the same time does not prevent the implementation of the corresponding movements of both translational and rotational, used as part of the device a kind of "traction" element, that is, the above-mentioned roller 8 .

The work of the proposed device when performing the processing process of the source ore ore proceeds as follows:

After completion of the operation to fill with the raw material 1 the cavity of the loading hopper 2, mounted in the upper part of the removable cap cap 4, and also at the end of the process of emptying through the through hatch "B" (see figure 1), which is provided by spontaneous by flowing out a viscous aqueous suspension filling it, the latter subsequently goes therefrom directly into the volume of the mobile working chamber formed between the components of its right and left cheeks 3. After doing all this in It supposes:

- an external drive to move the roller 8 (in the drawing, an external drive is not shown). Simultaneously with the beginning of the implementation of the structural elements that make up the mobile working chamber, translational and rotational movements, all electrical windings-coils 13, which are the main component of the F-shaped magnetic circuits 11, located, in turn, are connected to an external power source cylindrical spirals "G" encircling the outer surface of the housing 6. Blowing nozzles 10 in the same way mounted on the surface of the fixed part of the assembly 6, similar to the above, and also using the same number of units used, curved lines "D", at the same moment in time are connected to the external supplying compressed air under excess pressure of the supply line (not shown in the drawing).

Thus, having a rigid kinematic connection with the roller 8, the working chamber with the processed raw material 1 placed in its cavity is pushed out of the internal volume of the removable cap cap 4, leaving the loading area, and begins to carry out the process of translational and rotational movement in the stationary cavity part of the housing 6, in which it is, ultimately, and "pushed". The outline of the path of movement of the processed raw material 1, which is picked up by the piston-shaped cheeks 3, located in the cavity of the aforementioned structural unit, moving from the feed loading zone to the front end of the housing 6, completely duplicates this configuration, which is formed during this kind of movement along the inner the surface of the housing 6 spatial curved path.

The latter, due to the presence of the elements that make up the working chamber, the fact that they immediately act on two types of motion, both translational and rotational, ultimately, is a segment of a multi-turn helical spiral that is very elongated in length. Since the working chamber moved in such a way to a new position inevitably opens access to its internal volume by jets of compressed air formed by blowing nozzles 10 mounted on the outer surface of the housing 6, which have both radial α ° and tangential angles of inclination β °, then located at the very bottom of the working chamber, the bulk mass of raw material 1, a whole hail of a kind of “air strikes”, generated in the area of the latter’s “jets” crossing at spatial angles, collapses and this product.

The presence of this kind of “behavior” features in the processing zone of the above-mentioned gas flows created in the cavity of the working chamber is ensured by the mandatory influence of the specific design factors previously mentioned on the power elements used in the device (that is, the installation of blowing nozzles 10 along the stationary surface surrounding the outer surface parts of the housing 6 of the spiral lines "D", the presence of radial α ° and tangential β ° inclination angles (see figure 1, figure 2, figure 4).

Under the influence of continuously carried out and the above-mentioned intense force, the volume of this "bulk mass" of processed raw materials 1 is divided into small, previously constituting it "microportions", which are "pulled apart" in all directions by the eddy stream formed by the same air jets "E "(Tornado). Falling under the influence of “raging” currents in the body of the “E” vortex, these individual microvolumes, firstly, are transformed into small bubbles of gas-liquid aerosols, and secondly, they are spread throughout the cavity of the mobile working chamber, uniformly filling almost all its parts, with the exception of the central zone, where a kind of small discharge is created (“tornado eye”).

The whole mass of the raw material 1, completely transformed into the aerosol cloud in the aforementioned manner in the above manner, subsequently continues to perform complex curvilinear helical movement along the inner zones of the device body 6, carrying it out together and simultaneously with the space used as a part of the device and hermetically isolated from other volumes of the surrounding space cavity mobile working chamber of this device. Synchronously with all this, the presence of the fact of the action on the used processed raw material of another one, which is necessary to obtain the final product specified by the processing technology and also artificially created in this device, specifically affecting the applied raw material of the external force factor, is revealed.

The thing is that when you turn on all the windings-coils 13 that are part of the magnetic generators 11, which are available in the device, into the external electric network, since they perform the functions of solenoids directly in the volume of the working elements 12 themselves, in which, in fact, the assembly of these structural elements of the machining F-shaped contours was carried out, individual magnetic fields are created almost instantly.

Due to the fact that the body of each generator 11 has a configuration of halves folded on top of each other - the eyes of the letter F, these newly arising fields merge into a single total circuit used for the processing process. Thus, the total flow circulating in a closed F-shaped loop of the body of the processing circuit is generated immediately by six windings. Each winding coil 13 is connected to its own, supplying an isosceles triangular impulse packets only for it with a circuit circuit of an external power source (not shown in the drawing).

Due to all this, the total field obtained in each magnetic generator 11 will have all the same characteristic features that are inherent to the same individual physical fields that form the latter (the main parameters of such a “force structure” are changed in accordance with a graph recording the behavior of the “triangular” »Functions, as well as the fact that this total formation necessarily has an angular displacement of the clusters of magnetic field lines belonging to it relative to neighboring ones, etc.).

Due to the fact that the upper tail of the focusing nozzle 14 is pressed into the lower crossbar of each F-shaped contour 11 (see Fig. 3), at the lower end of which a collecting cluster of magnetic field lines is made into a single cylindrical segment “K” focusing cavity, having the form of a hyperboloid of rotation, the total magnetic flux sent to it and received from six windings-coils 13 generates a technological processing physical field in the nozzle body 14, the outlines of which are the lines of field lines Noah in figure 2; figure 3 "special" configuration.

Since the uniform arrangement of all magnetic generators 11 was made immediately on three spirals “G” encircling the body of the body 6, and the number of such processing loops on each curve of the installation line “G” is a number equal to nine to eighteen units, the presence of all of these above factors, ultimately, inevitably leads to the fact that in the cavity of the housing 6 of the device, it is as if formed consisting of radially directed from the surface of the installation zone - the base, directly directly to the center of the body a cylindrical rotating magnetic clusters "K", a kind of technological processing system (see FIG. 2). The latter is a kind of spatial power cylindrical “fringe”, consisting of individual logs collected in a “stockade”. The number of such processing located in the internal volume of the housing 6 and consisting of cylindrical magnetic structures assembled into a spiral - spatial structures, respectively, in the embodiment of the device shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and is three units.

It should also be noted that the technological processing systems included in the above, used to perform metal recovery from ore compounds, “K” magnetic clusters, consisting of a kind of cylindrical force formations - “logs”, periodically change their own geometric parameters (supplied for the power of the winding coils 13 are in the form of a "triangle", and are shifted relative to each other by a specific, predetermined offset angle - see figure 5).

That is, their individual elements - “logs” that make up such “fences - fringe” are either stretched in height or, on the contrary, sharply “shortened”. Moreover, each “forming” the above “barriers”, a separate picket fence, in the process of changing the height of its constituent elements, performs this periodically renewed kind of oscillatory cycle with a shift in time of its conduct relative to the neighboring ones carried out in the adjacent located similar to this installation spirals "G" (see the procedure for supplying "triangular" pulses - figure 5). The effect of the above circumstance is ensured by the fact that the pulses used in the feeding pseudophases "a", "b", "c" are offset relative to the same neighboring ones by angles of about 120 ° —the segments t ₁ ; t ₂ in figure 5.

As a result of the joint action of all the specific features listed above, the formation of structural structural units carrying out the processing of raw materials carried away by vortex flows belonging to the jet air stream "E" (see figure 1), small air-liquid aerosol bubbles formed in the cavity of the working chamber raw cloud "move along with it along the fixed part of the housing 6. Moreover, the above components of such a" foam formation "as if forcibly" dragging are ”through fairly often placed on the path of their movement barrage log“ lines ”- magnetic fences (processing cylindrical“ fringe ”).

On small particles of the processed ore compounds, fastened onto a “film liquid base” of such bubbles formed in the cavity of the working chamber and moving in it, when the latter carry out this kind of “punching” through the spiral-shaped “magnetic fence” mentioned above, the whole series of multidirectional and intensively performed power energy strikes.

Since the movement of these microscopic ore components proceeds along rather complex spatial curved "twisted" trajectories, the rock layers that make up their body are always in the most optimal position for their further structural transformation, when access to the last microvolumes of raw materials for penetrating these particles " magnetic ray-logs, ”turns out to be unshielded. That is, the microvolumes that make up small particles of ore rock are “pierced” by machining rotating cylindrical magnetic fluxes “K” using the entire range of directions of their possible spatial effects.

All of the above, facilitates the process of recovering the constituent annular columnar single crystal of metal from small particles of ore compounds “glued” to the specified film base, and also provides an increase in the percentage in the body of the last, main element forming it, Zn. That is, ultimately, the application of the above methods guarantees the high performance in terms of the content of the main, single-crystal Zn element constituting a single crystal formed in accordance with such technology, already in the final product synthesized in this device.

So, when carrying out the transfer of small particles of initial ore rocks carried away by “flying through” aerosol foam bubbles through the artificially created and having the specified technology configuration magnetic spatial structure, small crystalline “nuclei” inevitably form in the jets of the “E” tornado, consisting of the previously indicated metal Zn.

The appearance of the microscopic "grains" entirely consisting of this element into the "white light" is ensured, first of all, by the obligatory presence in the surrounding "passing" in the cavity of the working chamber of small ore particles in the volumes of air filling it, ions of the reducing element, that is, a kind of "champion" in the framework of this specialization: carbon C ⁺⁴ . The latter is generated from molecules containing the aforementioned component of gases, always present in the composition of ordinary atmospheric air, which is supplied to the treatment zone under overpressure.

The presence of the very fact of this occurrence, which is necessary for the bonding of the “liberated” atomic oxygen-reducing compound during the decomposition, the reducing ion, is again ensured by the “crushing” impact action exerted by those entering the vortex formation directly on the “span” path "E" of gas flows, concentrated power clusters, consisting of logs collected in separate barriers - bundles of magnetic lines belonging to the processing physical fields.

Like ore microscopic particles, upon encountering this spiral-shaped power palisade, carbon-containing gas molecules are separated into separate fragments, while ensuring the delivery of the reducing ion necessary for the release of metal from its compounds (the latter is generated by decomposition into individual components of CO gases) ₂ ; CH ₄ ). The subsequent movement of such layers that have arisen in the bulk of the “aerosol cloud” in the spiral vortex flow “E” of Zn crystalline nuclei due to the continuous “growth” of these metal “grains” occurring in the same processing zone continues until until their mass becomes so large that these jet streams will no longer have great potential to continue supporting such "grains" that are constantly increasing their overall dimensions by weight. Because of this, the latter stop their free floating in the layers making up the “E” vortex flow, and then they are already moving under the action of gravitational forces from the highest level belonging to the aerosol cloud located in the working chamber, as close to its lower part as possible. The process of increasing the initial dimensions obtained during the formation of metal crystals occurs under the influence of two immediately accompanying this technology synthesis of the above end product from the original ore compounds, which actively influence the course of its implementation of significant factors.

First, during the movement of aerosol bubbles in the jets of a “tornado” formed in the cavity of the working chamber, these components of the “aerosol foam” inevitably collide with “flying” through these same areas of the above “vortex”, which reappeared in them and are still very small crystalline "nuclei".

In the process of conducting such a mutual “collision”, aerosol bubbles “flying” onto such solid “grains” of metal inevitably collapse, and the microscopic ore particles placed on their liquid film sheath are “thrown” directly onto the outer surface of the “crashed” into this "bubble" of a metal crystalline.

As a result of all this, the latter is covered, as it were, with a “raw fur coat” consisting of such small ore components “thrown” directly onto his body. Since the process of magnetic irradiation of all the suspended microscopic particles-components moving in the jet vortex formation “E” and the particles present in it does not stop there, this kind of specifically obtained “raw shell” will inevitably be transformed into a full metal coating. The latter grows on the outer layers of a metal zinc crystal, using it as a kind of substrate - the basis for its subsequent formation. That is, in this case, the “embryo", acquiring this kind of additional metal layer that is built up directly on its body, will inevitably increase its original overall dimensions.

Secondly, during the “flight” between the restrictive cheeks 3 of the working chamber, its small crystalline “grains” of metal zinc also have a rather high probability of a “point” occurrence in a situation, in the event of which they inevitably come into close mutual contact (ie their “head-on” collision occurs).

At the moment of the implementation of the above mutual close contact, their subsequent “bonding” is inevitable, and, as an indispensable consequence, arising from the fact that this circumstance is present, is the formation of a larger, composite structure from these “smallest” metal fragments.

It is understandable that both of the above factors for the enlargement of the "alloy nuclei" work in parallel and simultaneously. That is, as the length of the path along which the working chamber moves from the initial initial position towards the front end of the housing 6 increases, sooner or later all small “fragments” consisting of new crystalline “nuclei” synthesized directly in the cavity of the latter will be such thus transformed into bulky monolithic granules.

The latter, as already noted, upon completion of the process of their own enlargement, seek to move from the upper level of their initial location to the lowest zone of the device used for processing.

Performing the aforementioned vertical movement, some part of the thus formed sufficiently massive metal “flakes” can “accidentally” meet the surface of the loose seed layer “Zh” previously deposited on the seed outer surface of the seed rod 7 from the finely divided slag waste obtained in the processing area . As a result of the fact of the action of such a "random hit", these "overgrown" granules, with a fairly high degree of probability, may simply be "tightly" “glued” into the enveloping seed core 7 loose non-metallic formation “G” (see figure 2 ), which has sufficiently pronounced indicators of its own adhesion.

On these so-called “adhering” particles of metal zinc, due to the incessant action of the previously mentioned technological factors, the process of formation of more and more new metal components of the obtained single crystal body layers will continue, based on the use of surrounding the latter on all sides of the volume of aerosol foam.

The very process of deposition on the outer side surface of the seed rod 7 of the aforementioned intermediate slag layer "Ж", which is formed at the "start" stage of the implementation of the proposed processing technology, proceeds as follows.

Due to the fact that various compounds — impurities from other elements present in the same elements — pollutants, and crystals obtained in exactly the same way, also precipitated in the course of the recovery of metals from ore particles, and also directly entering into their composition, converted, ultimately, into grains of non-metallic slag waste, then due to the presence of this circumstance in the cavity of the mobile working chamber, the following picture will be observed.

The aggregated lumps of slag associates consisting of particles of non-metallic waste sticking together, making a “flight” in the thickness of the same “tornado” streams and moving into them under the influence of the same force factors noted earlier, from the peripheral regions of the vortex “E” to its core -center, i.e. this kind of “tail” structural formations without fail will be displaced directly into the zone of “constantly maintained calm calm”.

Due to the fact that the above-mentioned small slag associates adhere well to any surface that comes into close contact with them, they will thus form a loose intermediate non-metallic “sticky” layer “G” on the peripheral lateral parts of the body of the seed rod 7 which subsequently is "captured" and "fixed" moving down the vertical "overgrown" granules obtained in the vortex flows of metal zinc. In addition, the enlarged “flakes” of the same Zn element flying past the outer surface of the seed rod 7, again, maybe a little earlier, maybe a little later, will, as expected, be deliberately thrown back onto the plane of the expanding annular single crystal structure “I” (see figure 2).

The fact of the obligatory onset of this event is determined, first of all, by the presence of the influence of the next action, which determines the inevitability of the moment of its practical implementation, an essential technical circumstance.

Flown by the seed rod 7, the "grains" of metal, enlarged in the jets of the vortex, ultimately end up either directly on the split petal membrane-washer 17 that overlaps the inlet opening of the nozzle 10 (see Fig. 4), or are located on the "intermediate" section of the adjacent to this zone itself, the surface of the bottom 6. Both those and other “pieces” of zinc will be necessarily moved by the cheek surface 3 moving and periodically making angular rotations from the original place of its “basing”, directly to the center flax, jetting compressed air outlet opening provided in the center of the above structural member 17.

Since the pressure created in the cavity of the working chamber by blowing nozzles 10 of the air flows is quite high (overpressure corresponds to 0.4-0.6 kgf / cm ² ), metal “fragments” from this Zn element literally falling into their last jets literally in the sense of the word, they are simply “kicked out” of the zone of their location and thrown up and to the side at oblique angles α and β.

Encountering an obstacle on the trajectory of this kind of “approach”, for example, the surface of a moving cheek - piston 3, these pieces of metallic zinc bounce off of it and change their direction of motion as a result. In this case, there is again a rather high probability that these “thrown up” metal “fragments” will be thrown directly onto the outer surface of the annular columnar “I” single crystal grown on the seed rod 7. Indeed, in this central zone of the working chamber, unlike all others located on its periphery, "calm calm" always reigns, because the so-called "eye of the storm" is located in this area. If, even after this single “jump” is completed, a piece of metal flies past the surface of the “I” single crystal grown in the device, the previously indicated cycle of repeated “tosses” and “flights” will continue until this event nevertheless turns into practically implemented.

Ultimately, the granules of this metal that have fallen on the surface of the “I” single crystal upon the execution of a series of such “rebounds” and “rebounds” “stick” to its body and continue together with the components of this single crystal and previously settled on its body “ base layers to carry out a joint process of its further growth.

An increase in the uniformity of the distribution of the thickness of the components of the annular columnar single crystal “I” along its entire length of the walls, as well as an increase in the purity of its outer side surface during its formation, is ensured by the constant execution of a series of turns carried out with a small angular velocity (2-4 r / minute), around its longitudinal axis of symmetry.

To eliminate the appearance of possible “gross” errors obtained by the single crystal of a ring shape, on the second, already inverse segment of the path of its movement along the surface of the cavity of the housing 6, the direction of rotation of the single crystal “I” is reversed (it is reversed).

All the above events performed in the cavity of the mobile working chamber are completed and proceed in its volume throughout the entire cycle of its movement inside the case used to process this device itself. When this assembly unit reaches the extreme front “right” position; (the straight segment of the travel path has been completely passed), the travel limit switch (not shown in the drawing) is triggered, and the translational movement of the working chamber begins with the transfer of its constituent structural components, bringing them closer to the rear “left” part of the device body 6.

The direction of the angular movement of the components making up this chamber around its own longitudinal axis of symmetry, at this point in time, as already mentioned, also changes to the opposite.

Thus, during the second, final stage of the cycle of its reverse movement, in the volume of the working chamber, the last stages of the process of forming the body of the columnar ring single crystal “I” synthesized on the seed rod 7 are completely completed, which ensures that the last specified processing technology produces high-quality “conditions”. That is, it is as if a “finishing” “refinement” of this already finished final product is made to obtain the technical parameters required for it and stipulated by the technical conditions. Ultimately, moving in the opposite direction, the working chamber again returns to its original initial position it occupied, that is, it again falls into the cavity of the removable patch cap 4, in which its volume was previously loaded with the processed raw material 1.

In the process of passing through the working chamber of the corresponding areas of the housing 6, periodic “bleeding” of the volumes of newly obtained in the process of metal reduction from the ore particles of volatile gas compounds, as well as excessively received portions of the compressed air supplied thereto, was periodically “bleed”. To carry out this operation, we used outlet pipes 18 fixed on the device casing 6, the cavity of which was connected to the volume of the working chamber at the moments of operation of the pressure reducing valves 19. The latter were opened if the overpressure in the cavity of the mobile working chamber exceeded the value specified by the processing technology .

The opening of the pressure reducing valves 19, in the end, provided the emission of gas volumes unnecessary for the process of forming the “I” single crystal directly into the external atmosphere surrounding the device.

Since on the lateral outer surface of the right and left piston-shaped cheeks 3, which are part of the mobile working chamber, it is planned to install elastic “slippery” seals to seal its volume, then to prevent their premature failure (seals are not shown in the drawing), during manufacture the proposed device used the following design methods.

Formed in the places of installation communicating with the internal volume of the housing 6 and used in the device structural elements 10; fourteen; 18 curvilinear recesses, obtained as if by themselves at the mutual intersection of the contacting to each other and the mating curved surfaces of the bodies of revolution, are filled with smoothing washers (see figure 3 - position 16; figure 4 - position 17). The latter are made in the form of petal membranes with a “hole” in the center, installed in the area where the lower outlet openings of the blowing nozzles 10, and also the outlet pipes 18 are located, and elastic rubber is used as the material for the manufacture.

When carrying out the installation of the focusing nozzles 14 in the cavity of the mounting sleeves 15 (see Fig. 3), the above “cryo-linear” recesses on the inner surface of the housing 6 are filled in tightly pressed into the cavities obtained on its inner surface — the cavity, with a powder consisting of small particles of cobalt or iron (washer pos.17 - figure 3).

And in this, and in another case, the use of the above structural elements eliminates the possibility of forming on the inner side surface of the housing 6, at the intersection of it with the surface of the nodes 10, 14, 18 sharp cutting edges. It turns out that all the mating zones of the latter with the housing 6 are as if “flush” and have absolutely smooth planes at the places of the possible passage of the cheeks existing on the lateral outer surface — the pistons 3 and their sealing seals.

The installation of the F-shaped magnetic generators 11 with the nozzles 14 located in their lower part on the surface of the housing 6 is carried out using rigidly fixed guide hollow sleeves 15, and through the use of fastening threads made on the mating surfaces of the above parts (see Fig. 3). To increase the accuracy of the mutual fixation of the structural components that are assembled into a single unit, 2 lock nuts can be threaded onto the mounting thread on the external surface of the focusing nozzle 14 (the above-mentioned performance features of these parts are not reflected in the drawing).

So, after the mobile working chamber with the columnar ring single crystal formed inside its volume that is entirely made of metallic zinc “I” fully occupies its original initial position in the volume of the cap removable cap 4, and the fact of the occurrence of this event will receive the corresponding signal from used for of this sensor for fixing its final position (for example, from the limit switch), all systems that service the operation of the installation are disconnected from the external sources used tania (motion drive; electrical circuits of magnetic generators supplying compressed air jets to nozzles)

Subsequently, from the housing 6, due to the detachment of the annular flat docking flanges 5, carried out by means of quick-release fasteners (not shown in the drawing), the cover cap 4 is removed. Then, the lock nut 9 is unscrewed, fixing on the threaded neck of the roller 8 a piston-shaped left cheek 3, and the latter “pulls out” of its previous position previously occupied in the indicated node. In this case, free access to the formed annular columnar single crystal “I” is opened (see FIG. 2), and the latter is removed from the cavity of this device without any special difficulties.

"Comfortable" conditions for dismantling the metal formation previously obtained in the device are provided, first of all, by the fact that between the inner side surface of the hole formed at its center and the seed rod 7 an intermediate loose layer "G" is placed (see figure 2), entirely consisting of slag waste accumulated in this area.

After removing the “I” single crystal from the device, the finely dispersed slags partially filling the central bore hole contained in it are easily shaken from there when even a minor mechanical impact is applied to them.

The processing cycle on this can be considered completely completed. It should also be emphasized on the fact that the power supplies (not shown) that are capable of supplying winding coils of the coil 13 generators of 11 pulses are equipped with corresponding electronic circuits by which the signals are formed in the form of an “isosceles triangle” and are assembled into packets (as if in a pseudophase), the components of which the elements have corresponding angular displacements relative to similar neighboring ones (see Fig. 5), and the latter also have additional contours, I provide with the possibility of adjusting the magnitude of the intensity and frequency of oscillations in the processing zone of "triangular" magnetic fields (that is, the magnitude of the current, voltage, frequency of the supplied electrical signals).

As noted earlier, by performing the above changes of the main technological parameters of the process of processing the used mixture, consisting of the starting raw material, it is guaranteed to obtain a finished final product that has the predetermined technical specifications of the drawing with its own qualitative technical indicators and positive properties.

The technical and economic indicators characterizing the degree of efficiency of the processing performed with its use, recorded during the use to achieve the above goals when applying this type of design of the proposed device, made it possible to determine the following:

With a device length of 1.5 meters and its width, taking into account the dimensions of the systems serving its operation, of 1.2 m, as well as with a case diameter of 0.44 m, and in the case of its operation in 3-shift mode, obtaining 0.7 ÷ 0.8 tons of zinc metal in one day. Electricity consumption per tonne obtained in accordance with the proposed technology of this metal is 2.7 ÷ 3.2 thousand kW / h.

Given all of the above, we can come to the following conclusion. Using the proposed method for producing metallic zinc, as well as the device used to implement this technology, provides a significant reduction in the cost of electric energy required for processing the feedstock into a finished product. That is, the application of the proposed technical solutions creates the conditions for reducing its consumption by 8-15 times in relation to its quantity necessary to obtain a similar product, carried out using electrolytes consisting of salts of this element, which is also formed by involving rather complicated technical systems created from various sorts and purposes of melting and chemical units.

In addition, if the processing process is carried out in accordance with the proposed method, the latter proceeds during only one technological transition, and no harmful substances are emitted into the surrounding equipment environment, which inevitably accompanies the methods of obtaining the same procedures performed in accordance with the “classical” scheme the end product itself.

It should also be noted that metallic zinc itself, which is completely ready for subsequent use, is formed in the form of a continuous columnar ring single crystal with a practically unchanged intrinsic configuration, and including zinc synthesized from the feedstock in its composition, the content of which is in the volume of this structure is 99.99999%.

Formed in accordance with the proposed technology, the metal has a high degree of stability of its obtained besides during only one and relatively short technological stage, its own physical and chemical, as well as mechanical characteristics.

Made using the same type of raw material, zinc metal itself has a fairly low specific bulk density and has high refractoriness, as well as good resistance to external aggressive influences.

Obtained using the proposed technology, columnar ring monocrystals based on zinc metal can be used to meet the corresponding needs of existing industrial production without any additional operations for their “finishing” refinement.

The introduction of the proposed process, as well as the device used during its implementation, does not require significant investment and is not associated with the need to use significant labor costs, as well as the long lead times required for the preparation of production.

The choice of materials and components included in the composition of the proposed device was made taking into account the possibility of using them as the latter similar, widespread and used in equipment designed to perform technologies similar to the above. This proposed device itself is characterized by a high degree of simplicity of its design and, as a result, has good indicators of its own operational reliability.
