Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mine filling, in particular to a device for improving the concentration of a thickener. Background Art
[0002] In the mining industry, the waste ore produced after mineral processing is generally discharged into the tailings pond for storage. However, the tailings pond is a man-made debris flow hazard source with high potential energy and there is a risk of dam breach. In addition, some harmful components in the tailings will cause serious pollution to the environment around the tailings pond. The filling mining method can fill the tailings produced by mineral processing into the mine again after it is thickened. The application of the filling mining method effectively solves the problem of green and sustainable development of mines.
[0003] In the field of mine filling, deep cone thickeners and storage thickeners are generally used to handle the solid-liquid separation process of tailings slurry. The thickening mechanism of these two types of thickeners is to produce flocs through the reaction of tailings and chemical agents. The flocs quickly settle downward under the action of gravity, and the separated liquid overflows the thickener, thereby initially obtaining a tailings slurry of a certain concentration. In order to meet the mine's requirements for high concentration of filling tailings, the deep cone thickener is equipped with a motor-driven rake frame inside the pool body, and a vertical pipe is installed on its rake frame arm to disturb the tailings in the vertical direction, release the liquid stored between the tailings particles, and achieve the effect of increasing the concentration of tailings. The storage thickener increases the pressure of the tailings slurry in the upper part of the thickener cavity on the bottom tailings by increasing the height of the silo, and presses out the liquid in the bottom tailings floc molecules by the gravity of the tailings slurry in the upper cavity by standing still. During the application of the thickener, the deep cone thickener has poor adaptability to coarse-grained tailings, and is prone to rake compression during the operation of the rake frame. The vertical pipe installed on the rake frame loses its disturbance efficiency and cannot effectively ensure the high concentration of the bottom flow. The storage thickener has a certain lag in the way it discharges water through gravity squeezing, and often requires a long period of sedimentation, which cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of continuous production and high-concentration bottom flow of the mine.
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to design an improved device for increasing the concentration of the thickener to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.
[0028] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a device for improving the concentration of a thickener 8, comprising a plurality of filter tubes 1, wherein the filter tubes 1 include a filter section and a drainage section connected to one end of the filter section, wherein the filter section includes a porous tube 2 arranged in the innermost layer, a filter element 4 arranged outside the porous tube 2, a filter screen 3 arranged outside the filter element 4, and a sealing cover 6 connected to the filter element 4, and the drainage section includes a drainage pipe 5. The plurality of filter tubes 1 are arranged in two layers on the side wall of the thickening layer of the thickener 8. Each layer of the filter tubes 1 on the side wall of the thickening layer of the thickener 8 is arranged in an annular manner, and the angle between adjacent filter tubes 1 is 60.
[0030] Specifically, the sealing cover 6 is arranged at one end of the filtering section, and the sealing cover 6 is connected to the filter element 4 by a thread 7. The inner side of the end of the filter element 4 is provided with a thread 7, and the sealing cover 6 is connected to the filter element 4 by a thread 7 arranged on the outer side of the inner ring. The rear end of the porous tube 2 is connected to one end of the drain pipe 5. Such an arrangement can make the filter element 4 easier to replace, while ensuring the efficient filtration and reliability of the device.
[0031] The other end of the drain pipe 5 is connected to the hole on the side wall of the thickening layer of the thickener 8. The outer diameter of the drain pipe 5 is equal to the outer diameter of the sealing cover 6. The outer diameter of the sealing cover 6 is equal to the outer diameter of the filter screen 3. The inner diameter of the drain pipe 5 is equal to the inner diameter of the porous tube 2. Such a configuration can ensure that the flow of water inside the device is not hindered, so that water can effectively pass through the hydrophilic filter material at the front end of the porous tube 2 and the polyester filter element 4, achieving a better filtering effect.
[0032] The working principle of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:
[0033] When the thickener 8 is fed, the tailings particles continue to sink and thicken under the action of gravity, and gradually form a thickening layer, a compression layer, a sedimentation layer, and a clarifying layer from bottom to top. The clarifying layer (upper layer) has stepped drainage holes. The device is arranged in the thickening layer (lower layer) to drain the tailings in the thickening layer to increase the concentration of the tailings particles. The filter tubes 1 are evenly distributed on each layer of the side wall, and two layers are arranged in total. In the device of this embodiment, a hollow iron pipe is selected as the drainage pipe 5, and a polyester filter element is selected as the filter element 4. The medium and large particle size components between the tailings particles in the lower layer of the thickening layer are separated by the high-density filter screen 3 on the outermost side of the filter tube 1, and the fine particles and water enter the secondary filtering polyester filter element 4. The polyester filter element 4 is connected to the sealing cover 6 through the thread 7. The sealing cover 6 seals the front end of the porous tube 2. Finally, the filtered water flows through the porous tube 2 and is discharged from the thickener 8 from the hollow iron pipe at the rear end of the porous tube 2, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the concentration.
[0034] In summary, the utility model provides a device for improving the concentration of a thickener 8 by arranging the filter tube 1 in layers and in an annular manner, and arranging a filter screen 3, a filter element 4, a porous tube 2 and a sealing ring inside the filter tube 1 to form a drainage structure and multi-stage filtration, thereby ensuring that the interstitial water in the thickening layer can be discharged smoothly to improve the concentration of the thickener 8. The filter element 4 and the secondary filtration structure connected by the thread 7 are adopted to facilitate the replacement of the filter element 4, thereby extending the service life of the device and improving the stability and reliability of the device.
