Definitions
- Flotation processes are widely used for the concentration of ores and operate by mixing air as bubbles with a pulp in which the ore in a subdivided solid form is maintained in suspension, the pulp having been conditioned in such a manner that a certain component or certain components of the ore adhere and are concentrated in the air-water bubble interfaces and are removed in the froth formed above the pulp by the upward settling of the bubbles, the froth overflowing a weir with or without the assistance of a paddle or scraper.
- One of the chief objects of this invention is to reverse this normal flow pattern by impelling the air-liquid mixture downwardly from the mixing zone thereby increasing the length of the path and the contact of the air bubbles with the pulp or solution before they are liberated at the surface thereof.
- the mixture can be constrained to flow on the bottom of the vessel or cell to the sidewalls thereof before turning upwards towards the surface of the liquid thereby greatly extending the path of the air bubbles and keeping them in extended turbulent contact with the pulp or solution.
- Another object is to provide relatively quiescent conditions at the surface of 3,373,141 Patented Apr. 16, 1968 the pulp or solution for bubble separation whilst yet employing high energy intensity in the mixing and contacting regions and this objective is attained by impelling the mixture downwardly against the bottom of the vessel or cell as described.
- a further objective is to enable pulps containing relatively coarse solid particles to be treated, especially in the flotation process.
- Yet another object of the invention is to distribute the air-liquid mixture from the mixing means in as uniform a manner as possible towards the outer limits of the vessel or cell and so enable maximum intensity of mixing and turbulent contact to be employed with the maintenance of a quiescent bubble separating zone above.
- this invention provides a system of curved bafiles arranged in a lobed arcuate pattern and attached to the bottom of the vessel or cell.
- this invention For mixing the air with the pulp or solution this invention provides a rotor mounted for rotation about a substantially vertical axis and provided with inclined surfaces whereby pulp or solution surrounding the rotor is mixed with the air from an axial zone circumferentially delimited and maintained substantially free of liquid by the movement of the inclined surfaces which also serve to impel the resulting air-liquid mixture downwardly.
- Air is conducted to the axial zone by a passage or passages in or a conduit or conduits attached to the shaft which rotatably supports the rotor.
- the inclined surfaces are provided by inclined rotor bars attached at their upper ends to a disc or boss attached to the vertical shaft supporting the rotor.
- the axes of the rotor bars may be straight or curved and downwardly the rotor bars may diverge away from the axis of rotation of the rotor. Downwardly the rotor bars may increase in cross-sectional area.
- the rotor bars are of circular crosssection downwardly increasing in diameter or are any of various blade, vane or elliptical cross-sections of downwardly increasing dimensions and the axes of the bars are straight and downwardly slope in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the rotor, the bars being symmetrically disposed with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor and at a minimum radial distance from the axis adjacent their upper ends where they are attached to the rotor disc or boss. So constructed the rotor is of downwardly increasing outside diameter and its peripheral velocity when rotating likewise increases downwardly causing a downward pumping action on the fluid supplementing the impelling action of the individual inclined bars.
- the inclination of the bars may vary to suit differing applications but a typical inclination is 45
- the characteristics of the rotor performance may be modified.
- an inclination from the vertical at which the downward impelling effect on the liquid is a maximum.
- a reduction from this inclination decreases the downward impelling effect in absolute terms and also relatively to the rate at which air is mixed, assuming the tip speed of the rotor bars and the pressure of the air relative to that of the liquid surrounding the rotor remain unchanged, and hence the ratio of air to liquid in the mixture leaving the rotor increases.
- the power absorbed, air mixing rate and mixture fiow rate are functions of the speed of rotation and the pressure of the air relative to that of the liquid surrounding the rotor and it is a feature of this invention to control the power input, air mixing rate and mixture flow rate by varying the rotor speed and/or the pressure of the air relative to that of the liquid surrounding the rotor.
- a feature of this invention is the provision of convenient means for detaching and replacing the elements of the rotor that may be subject to wear in operation or for modifying its performance.
- the rotor bars may be provided at their upper ends with tapered portions upwardly divergent and adapted to fit and be self holding by friction in sockets, or in inserts therein, of complementary shape in the rotor disc or boss.
- the rotor bars may also 'be provided with replaceable covers of wear and/or corrosion resisting material.
- the rotor disc or boss may be provided with a downwardly divergent conical bore adapted to fit and be self holding on a corresponding conical surface on the shaft. So constructed worn parts may be readily removed and replaced and rotor bars of different form, spacing, number and inclination can be fitted to provide various combinations of rotor characteristics to suit a wide range of process requirements.
- this invention For removal of the froth from above the surface of the pulp or solution this invention provides a horizontal paddle actuated from above by oscillating arms and hangers to describe a flattened elliptical transverse motion whereby on the lower portion thereof the froth is pushed towards and caused to overflow a horizontal weir by which it is separated from the pulp or solution.

- the removable bottom liner plates 41 thereof are provided with a combination of vertical baffle plates 42 curved in plan and so arranged that the distances of their leading edges 43 from the centre of the cell vary and a curve 44 joining them presents in plan view a four-lobed arcuate figure symmetrical about the centre of the cell.
- the space between the battles also varies, being widest as at 45 between those baflles which direct the flow towards the corners of the cell and a minimum as at 46 between those which direct the flow to the mid portions of the cell walls.
- the plan curvature of the individual baflles is such that at their leading edges the baffles lie substantially in the direction of the flow approaching from the rotor and at their trailing edges their direction is such as to direct the flow leaving them substantially at right angles to the walls of the cell.
- the minimum distance from the centre of the cell of baffle leading edge is substantially greater than the maximum radial dimension of the rotor so that the mixture flow from the rotor impinges and turns outwards on the floor of the cell before entering the bafiles.
- a circular clamping plate 47 overlapping the inner edges of the liner plates 41 is downwardly tightened by clamping nut 48 and stud 49 attached to the bottom of the cell.
- the vertical location of the rotor with respect to the bottom of the cell is not critical but optimum results are obtained when the clearance between the bottom of the rotor and the bottom of the cell are of the order of one-fourth the bottom outside diameter of the rotor.
