AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies lack systematic and precise methods for optimizing parameters in the vertical lifting of deep-sea particulate ore, resulting in low conveying efficiency and high energy consumption, as well as risks of pipeline blockage and equipment damage.
By setting the conveying capacity of the vertical lifting pipeline, calculating the particle and liquid flow rates, screening candidate parameter combinations that satisfy the condition that the liquid flow rate is greater than the critical particle flow rate, calculating the unit frictional resistance, and finally selecting the parameter combination corresponding to the minimum unit frictional resistance, the pipeline inner diameter, particle volume concentration, and liquid flow rate are optimized.
This technology minimizes unit friction while ensuring safety, improves the efficiency of vertical lifting of deep-sea granular ore, reduces energy consumption, avoids pipeline blockage, and provides efficient technical support for deep-sea mineral resource mining.
