Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifugal method and means for continuously fractionating solid particles in liquid suspension thereof.
  • the invention relates to the centrifugal method, which is usually referred to as cyclonic separation, the method being performed in a cyclone separator.
  • separators comprise a substantially conical separating chamber provided with a tangential infeed near the widest end thereof, a closure member with a central discharge aperture at the widest end and a second discharge aperture at the apex end of the conical separating chamber.
  • a mass of particles in liquid suspension is introduced under fluid pressure into the separating chamber through the-tangential infeed and as a result thereof the liquid body in the tank is compelled to rapidly rotate around the axis of the tank, so that centrifugal forces are substantially in excess of gravity, the greater part of the liquid continuously discharging through the central aperture in the closure member at the widest end side of the separating chamber whereas the minor part of said liquid discharges also continuously through the second discharge aperture at the apex end of the chamber.
  • the rotational movement in the tank is of the returnflow type, consisting of two concentric vortices of the same rotational direction but of opposite axial direction, the outer one rotating towards the apex of the tank, the inner one rotating towards its base end.
  • the major part of the liquid rotating in the outer vortex flows towards the axis of the tank into the inner vortex, the other part discharging through the apex aperture.
  • the apparatus used in obtaining this type of fluid flow may be entirely of conical shape, but for reasons of constructional simplicity it mostly comprises a relatively short cylindrical portion, tapering into a relatively long conical portion.
  • the denser and greater particles of a suspension of solids in a liquid medium introduced tangentially are thrown towards the circumference of the tank by the centrifugal force caused by the rotational movement, whereas the smaller ones are dragged along with the liquid into the center of the rotating liquid body and discharged therefrom through the base aperture.
  • the broad end side of the apparatus, near the tangential inlet may be called base, not only because it can be considered as the baseof a cone, but moreover as the rotational movement has its base at this side, the infeed of the liquid starting it along this side.
  • the other side may be related to as the top side.
  • Various separation processes may be performed in the apparatus described hereabove. It can be used not only for dividing a mixture of particles suspended in a liquid medium into two fractions, one of which containing the coarser and/ or the denser particles and the other containing the finer and/ or lighter particles, but also to separate solids from liquid suspension in order to recover said solids or to clean the liquid medium or to obtain said suspension in a more concentrated condition.
  • the discharge from the central aperture in the closure member at the widest end of the'separating chamber usually has been received in a receiving tank or overflow hood adjacent the said chamber.
  • the means for obtaining such thin circular stream may be a plate close to the closure member of the separator.
  • closure member and the plate which hereinafter will be referred to as difiusor-rnember, may be of several appropriate designs, corresponding to the common design of cyclonic separators, I prefer a special shape of the said closure member and diifusor member as a greater sharpness of separation will be obtained in this way.
  • This preferred closure member tapers into the separator space and at least its central part has a gradually inwardly curved shape so as to present, to the discharge, walls gradually flaring outwards.
  • the ditlusor-plates form will be adapted to the shape of the closure member in order to obtain a' passage of equal width throughout its annular length.
  • I further provide for reception of the discharge from the apex end aperture of the separating chamber in a' liquid body, which is in open communication with that separating chamber.
  • the receiving vessel being open at the top and the separating chamber being immersed at its apex end in the liquid body in said vessel, the latter and the separating chamber together constitute a set of c'om- Although the,
  • the vessel liquid will be forced to enter the said chamber through the apex aperture thereof. So two opposite streams of liquid will pass through the apex aperture, one of which along the circumference thereof and carrying the separated fraction from the inside of the separating chamber into the receiving vessel and the. other of which returning at least part of the liquid from: the said fraction into the separating chamber, which part of the said liquid also may contain the finer and lighter particles of said fraction. In this way an additional separation is obtained, increasing the sharpness of separation of the separating chamber. Moreover the concentration of the suspension product may be increased.
  • the discharge from the receiving vessel must be of suflrlcient capacity to pass the surplus liquid entering the said vessel.
  • the pressure in the core of the separating chamber may be adjusted in such a way that the two streams of liquid compensate each other whereby the amount of liquid in the receiving vessel may be held invariable. This enables the separated solids to accumulate in the vessel,
  • Another embodiment of the invention calls for the adjustment of the said core pressure at such a low value that the stream of liquid from the receiving vessel into the separating chamber will be in excess of the opposite stream and for supplying liquid from other source to said vessel to maintain the amount of liquid therein.
  • the adjustment of the cores pressure can be performed in a simple way by adjusting of the distance between the closure member and the diff-uso plate.
  • This plate therefore is provided with means for adjusting said distance, the said means being a screw spindle or the like.

For example, these particles may be shale particles of a size below 0.2 mm. and are delivered to tank 3 by a screw conveyor 5.
  • a pipe 6 provided with a control valve 7 supplies water to tank 3 so that a suspension is formed in which the different sized particles are kept in a substantially uniform distribution or dispersion by means of an agitator 8.

  • the spindle protrudes through the opening 26 into the discharge hood of the cyclone.
  • a diffuser plate 30 of which the surface facing the flaring vortex opening diverges in the same way as this opening.
  • the discharge hood is further provided with an opening 31 in the cylindrical wall from which a pipe 32 extends tangentially and is arranged to discharge onto a draining screen 33.
  • the through-fall of this screen collects in a receiver 34 and is directed through pipe 35 to a froth flotation machine 36.
  • This machine may be of the Kleinbentinck type and serves for removing the very fine coal particles from the suspension.
  • the remaining suspension flows through a pipe 37 to a pump 33 from which it returns through a pipe 39 to the tank 3, to be reused as separating suspension. Obviously, fresh suspension material from hopper 4 and water from pipe 6 will only be introduced into the tank 3 to replace suspension lost in the separation circuit.
  • the suspension particles which are not removed from the separated fraction on the draining screen 33 are removed on a second screen 40 by spraying water through the spray-heads 41 on the separated fraction.
  • the recovered diluted suspension is collected in a receiver 42 from Where it flows through a pipe 43 to a thickener 44.
  • This thickener may be of the Dorr-bowl type.

  • the specifically heavy particles move into an outer stratum against the wall of the cyclone and towards and through the apex opening 17, whereas the specifically lighter particles gather in an inner stratum which ascends and discharge through the vortex passage 20 into the compartment formed by hood 21.'
  • a great deal of the relatively fine heavy particles leave the cyclone at the apex. Due to the centrifugal force a column of air is present in the core of the cyclone of which the pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure and which pressure may be regulated by adjusting the distance between the diffusor 30 and the base plate 13 of the cyclone.
  • the cyclone being provided at its apex with an open receiver 55 filled with liquid, the under pressure in the core of the cyclone can be increased by suitable adjusting the diffuser to such an extent that the liquid in the receiver rises inside the core.
