Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of centrifugal slurry pumps, and particularly, to froth pumps for mining applications where flotation methods are utilized.
- Centrifugal pumps employ centrifugal force to lift liquids from a lower to a higher level or to produce a pressure.
- This type of pump in its simplest form, comprises an impeller consisting of a connecting hub with a number of vanes and shrouds, rotating in a volute collector or casing. Liquid drawn into the center, or eye, of the impeller is picked up by the vanes and accelerated to a high velocity by rotation of the impeller. It is then discharged by centrifugal force into the casing and out the discharge branch of the casing. When liquid is forced away from the center of the impeller, a vacuum is created and more liquid flows into the center of the impeller. Consequently, there is a flow through the pump.
- centrifugal pumps including the type used to pass solid and liquid mixtures. These are known as slurry pumps.
- Froth handling pumps are a special application of centrifugal slurry pumps.
- the need to pump froth occurs in many mining applications where flotation methods are utilized. These pumps take advantage of the surface tension effects between pulverized ore and fine bubbles to separate the ore from the waste rock by floating one away from the other.
- the various mining applications include mining for metallic ores such as copper, iron, etc., and in the oil sand industry, where the components of froth include bitumen, water, and air.
- a mixture of approximately 10% bitumen and 90% sand is mined directly from the ground and the bitumen is separated from the sand for conversion to synthetic crude oil.
- froth handling pumps often "air lock.” This occurs when gases accumulate in the suction of the pump under the action of the centrifugal forces operating on the fluid in the passages of a rotating impeller to form an air/gas bubble, which partially blocks the suction and significantly degrades pump performance (as much as 40 percent to 70 percent loss in both flow and head).
- the head may be limited to as little as 30 meters to 40 meters in viscous froth applications, due to the additional viscous friction losses. This often necessitates that a number of pumps be placed in service to provide the necessary capacity for the mining and pumping process.
- the present invention is directed to a froth handling pump, which significantly minimizes or eliminates the problems described herein during ore or bitumen froth pumping.
- ore refers to any of the many minerals and metals, which may be extracted through mining.
- bitumen refers to any of various flammable mixtures of hydrocarbons and other substances, occurring naturally or obtained by distillation from coal or petroleum.
- one aspect of the present invention is directed to a froth handling pump, which comprises either a conventional, or modified, pump casing having an inlet side and a rear (hub) side.
- a novel impeller has been invented, which can produce a head equal to or greater than existing froth slurry pumps, but without the application of some of the conventional methods for reducing the NPSH required, such as an enlarged suction diameter, an inducer or auxiliary impeller, etc., or by increasing the NPSHA beyond what is normally present. This, in effect, keeps the size of the froth handling pump smaller and more economical.
- the pump achieves heads of 50 meters or higher at viscosities up to 3,000 cP and with NPSHA less than 10 meters by application of a very high vane outlet angle. While typical centrifugal pump outlet angles range from between about 15 degrees and 40 degrees, with 20 degrees to 25 degrees considered optimal, the impeller of the present invention has a vane outlet angle of between about 80 degrees and 100 degrees, with 90 degrees being optimal. Unexpectedly, the resulting efficiency is at least about 73 percent peak efficiency (with clear water),
- the rear shroud of the impeller includes an inner face and an outer face, with a plurality of vent holes formed through the shroud for the passage of gases to an attached de-aeration chamber.
- a plurality of generally radially oriented clearing vanes are formed on the outer face of the rear shroud.
- the clearing vanes are configured to create a pressure at the back side of the vent holes that is less than the fluid side so that vented gases are drawn into the de-aeration chamber.
- An outlet vent is provided proximate the top of the de-aeration chamber for venting the gases to the atmosphere or to a connected vent line.
- front shrouds are generally used in froth pump impellers, including one embodiment described herein, it has been found that removal of the front shroud of the impeller further serves to reduce the occurrence of air locks and to maintain maximum pump head and flow.

- Figure 13 graphically demonstrates the flow loss performance of the froth handling pump of the present invention with the open-shroud configuration pumping a water-soap froth.
- the froth handling pump of the present invention is shown generally as 100.
- the froth handling pump 100 comprises a centrifugal pump casing 120, a novel impeller 140 mounted in the casing, and a de-aeration chamber 160 mounted to the rear side 124 of the pump casing 120.
- a conventional pump shaft 170 passes through the de-aeration chamber 160 and attaches to the hub 141 of the impeller 140.
- the shaft 170 is then mounted on a conventional pedestal 190 via a conventional bearing and bearing housing arrangement (not shown).
- the pump casing 120 of the froth handling pump of the present invention is a conventional design for centrifugal slurry pumps; however, a modified, or more open inlet side may be contemplated for a particular froth handling application, or for alternative impeller configurations, as described below.
- the front shroud may be eliminated in its entirety.
- the novel impeller 140 of the froth handling pump 100 is illustrated in detail. As best shown in Figure 3, one embodiment of the impeller 140 comprises a front shroud 142, a rear shroud 144, and a plurality of pumping vanes 146.
- the front shroud 142 is conventional for a centrifugal slurry pump; however, in an alternative embodiment, the front shroud 142 also may be modified for a particular froth handling application and could include a more open configuration, having a larger suction inlet diameter.
- the impeller 140 of this illustrated embodiment comprises a novel pumping vane 146 arrangement. To maximize the number of pumping vanes 146, as shown in Figure 4, full size vanes 146a and splitter vanes 146b are arranged in an alternating fashion about the circumference of the impeller 140.
- Splitter vanes 146b are shorter, thus not extending radially inwardly as far toward the suction eye 147 as the fuller size pumping vanes 146a.
- the number of pumping vanes 146a, 146b is maximized within the constraints of vane thickness and minimum required passage size. It has been found, however, that the use of splitter vanes 146b helps to increase the effective number of pumping vanes 146 without "choking" the suction eye 147 of the impeller.
- passage size refers to the minimum mid-channel clearance between two adjacent pumping vanes 146.
- the pumping vane 146 geometry extends between the front 142 shroud (when included) and rear 144 shroud of the impeller 140 in a manner that provides maximum efficiency.
- the inventors have found that the size of the impeller 140, and thus the overall size of the pump 100, can be minimized by employing pumping vanes 146 that have a combination of high angle outlets, for maximum head, and conventional lower angle inlets for developing sufficient NPSH performance.
- an outlet vane angle may be between about 80 degrees and 100 degrees, with 90 degrees being optimal.
- pumping vane 146 angles are defined relative to the tangent of the impeller circumference; e.g., an outlet angle of 0 degrees would be tangential to the circumference of the impeller, while an outlet angle of 90 degrees is radial with respect to the center of the impeller, or perpendicular to the tangent of the impeller. While the exemplary embodiments shown herein comprise an arrangement of
- vent holes 148 are formed through the rear shroud 144 of the impeller 140.
- the vent holes 148 are located for the effective venting of gases therethrough.
- the vent holes 148 must provide a minimum opening of about 2 inches in diameter, or, if not circular, an area of about 3.14 square inches.
- vent holes 148 By providing vent holes 148, as shown in Figure 6, at the appropriate circumferential locations through the rear shroud 144 of the impeller 140, the gases have outlets to escape from the impeller main passages.
- the size, shape, and relative positions of these vent holes 148 are influenced by the quantity and anticipated location for gas accumulation. In the illustrated embodiments shown in the Figures, the positions of the vent holes 148 correspond approximately to the suction diameter of the impeller.
- the present invention comprises an impeller 140 having a plurality of clearing vanes 149a, 149b formed on the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144.
- These clearing vanes serve several purposes: (1) they assist in balancing the axial thrust of the rotating impeller, and (2) they exert a static pressure equal to or greater than the main impeller vanes to restrict the inwardly entry of main (liquid) flow from the impeller outlet.
- the clearing vanes 149a and 149b are formed such that, as the impeller rotates, the clearing vanes 149a, 149b create a pressure at the outer face 144a that is lower than the pressure in the impeller suction eye 147. By creating this differential pressure, the gases are drawn through the impeller vent holes 148 into the attached de-aeration chamber 160. As shown in Figure 6, the clearing vanes 149a, 149b are radially-oriented (90 degrees) and extend substantially perpendicularly outward from the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144.
- clearing vanes 149a, 149b there are 18 clearing vanes 149a, 149b, comprising 12 short vanes 149a and 6 long vanes 149b; however, the total number of clearing vanes is not critical to the operation of the froth handling pump 100 of the present invention. Rather, the number, geometry, and angles of the clearing vanes are dependent upon the particular froth handling application. By forming the clearing vanes in the manner shown in Figure 6, i.e., with short and long vanes, the number of clearing vanes 149a, 149b may be maximized.
- the clearing vanes 149a, 149b may need to be larger in diameter than the pumping vanes 146 by as much as 10 percent to obtain the desired pressure differential between the impeller suction eye 147 and the de-aeration chamber 160. This means that the clearing vanes 149a, 149b extend radially inwardly further than the pumping vanes 146.
- an auxiliary impeller configuration 180 may be rigidly mounted on the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144. The inventors have found that this configuration assists in creating a negative pressure relative to the pumping vanes 146. As shown in Figure 7, the outer radius of the auxiliary impeller configuration 180 is greater than the maximum radial position of the vent holes 148 to prevent gases from being trapped on the outer face 144a. Turning now to Figures 8 and 9, the de-aeration chamber 160 is illustrated.
- the de-aeration chamber 160 has an inlet opening 162 having a diameter that is dimensioned to extend outwardly beyond the maximum radial position of the vent holes 148 in the rear shroud 144.
- the de-aeration chamber is thus rigidly coupled to the rear side 124 of the pump casing 120 by bolting or other conventional fastening means.
- pump casing 120 is modified from a conventional centrifugal pump casing, with an opening formed in the rear side 124 of the pump casing 120 corresponding in size to the inlet opening 162 of the de-aeration chamber 160.
- the de-aeration chamber 160 comprises a housing 163 having an inner volume.
- the de-aeration chamber 160 is a passive component of the froth handling pump 100 construction; i.e., the chamber 160 has no moving or movable parts.
- an opening 165 is formed on the rear face 164 of the de-aeration chamber 160 for passage of the pump shaft 170 therethrough the chamber 160 for mounting to the impeller hub 142.
- At least one outlet 166 is formed for discharging the gases from the chamber 160.
- the de-aeration chamber 160 may comprise a second outlet 168.
- the outlets 166, 168 should be at least about 3 inches in diameter to prevent clogging and to adequately vent the anticipated volume of gases.
- the outlet 166 should be located at about 22.5 degrees or less of vertical (in either direction from the vertical) for sufficiently releasing the gases.
- the outlet 166 may be provided with a flange 167 so that it may be interconnected to a discharge line (not shown) leading to a location suitable for discharging the vented gases.
- the vented flow may include some liquid discharge that should be diverted to a sump or other drainage location.
- outlet 168 may be utilized for cleaning and drainage, as necessary.
- the impeller is an open-shroud configuration, comprising only a rear shroud 244 and a plurality of pumping vanes 246, including full size vanes 146a and splitter vanes 146b.
- the pumping vanes 246 may be geometrically extrapolated outwardly axially toward the suction liner to compensate for the thickness of a front shroud.
- an outlet vane angle may be between about 80 degrees and 100 degrees, with 90 degrees being optimal.
- the configuration of the pump 100 including the de-aeration chamber 160, are similar to the closed- shroud configuration of the pump 100. It is believed that the open-shroud configuration creates greater shear and turbulence between the pumping vanes and the suction liner of the pump, which breaks up air bubbles and further delays the formation of an air lock bubble. The inventors have found that this effectively increases the suction diameter, which reduces the velocity at the inlet edge of the impeller, and thereby increases the static pressure at the inlet edge.
- the diameter of the suction inlet of the pump casing 120 may be increased for the open-shroud impeller to provide more open suction, which is less subject to air blockage. This effectively reduces the velocity at the inlet edge of the impeller, and thereby increases the static pressure there, which delays vapor formation (cavitation).
- FIG. 12 and 13 testing and performance data for both embodiments of the pump 100 are graphically illustrated. The testing was performed under similar conditions for both embodiments.
- a water-soap froth was formulated for the testing of the novel impellers.
- Figures 12 and 13 demonstrate the performance of the open-shroud froth handling impeller compared to the closed- shroud embodiment described herein. Data is provided with the venting system open and closed, and at two different flowrates above and below the pump design flowrate.
- the open-shroud froth impeller resists air lock at a higher percentage of air than the closed-shroud froth impeller.
- the open-shroud froth impeller also exhibits a lower degree of losses than the closed-shroud design after air lock, with the venting system operational.
