Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flotation equipment technology, and in particular to a flotation device and flotation method with full particle size recovery. Background Technology

[0002] Flotation machines are one of the most important supports for realizing the flotation process. The skillful combination of different types of flotation machines is a key technology for achieving efficient separation of target and non-target minerals. With the increase in mined resources, the proportion of poor-endowed, low-grade, fine-grained, and mixed resources is increasing. The particle size distribution of grinding products changes significantly, with an increased proportion of difficult-to-float coarse and fine-grained minerals, while the content of easily floatable intermediate-grained minerals decreases. The floatability parameters of minerals of different sizes vary considerably. Conventional sequential or partial return processes cannot adapt to these changes.

[0003] Developing suitable flotation machines and process configuration technologies for both coarse and fine particle sizes would transform the current state of the mineral processing industry, improving economic and technical indicators while saving on reagent and energy consumption, and providing a method for achieving low-carbon development in the mineral processing sector. Current technologies rely on the combined configuration of different types of flotation machines to recover both coarse and fine particles. Some devices for enhanced fine particle recovery mainly employ vertical or horizontal jet pipe technology, requiring additional pumps as a power source. Alternatively, they improve recovery rates by enhancing coarse particle recovery. However, these existing technologies require processing the entire volume and all particle sizes of the slurry during enhanced recovery, resulting in high energy consumption and low efficiency. Therefore, there is a need to develop flotation equipment and methods for achieving efficient recovery of all particle sizes from low-grade mineral resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flotation device and method for full-scale recovery of minerals. In the scavenging operation, coarse and fine-grained minerals are separated. The coarse-grained minerals enter the short transport zone flotation machine for coarse particle separation, and the fine-grained minerals enter the high-turbulence flotation machine for fine particle separation, thereby achieving efficient full-scale recovery of low-grade mineral resources.

[0005] According to one objective of the present invention, a flotation apparatus for full particle size recovery is provided, comprising a conventional particle size flotation machine, a mineral separation intermediate box, a coarse particle size flotation machine, and a fine particle size flotation machine. The mineral separation intermediate box is internally divided into two isolated chambers; one chamber is used to recover fine particle size minerals not recovered by the conventional particle size flotation machine and feed the fine particle size minerals into the fine particle size flotation machine; the other chamber is used to recover coarse particle size minerals not recovered by the conventional particle size flotation machine and feed the coarse particle size minerals into the coarse particle size flotation machine.

The first stator and the first impeller are installed at the bottom of the first tank body. The first transmission device is fixed to the top of the first tank body and is connected to the first impeller.

[0008] Furthermore, the intermediate ore sorting box includes an upper slurry inlet and a lower slurry inlet. The interior of the intermediate ore sorting box is divided into a left chamber and a right chamber by a left and right cavity partition plate. The upper slurry inlet is located in the lower middle part of the left chamber and is connected to the conventional particle size flotation machine. The bottom of the left chamber is provided with a left slurry outlet, through which the slurry is discharged into the fine particle size flotation machine. The lower slurry inlet is located at the bottom of the right chamber and is connected to the conventional particle size flotation machine. The bottom of the right chamber is provided with a right slurry outlet, through which the slurry is discharged into the coarse particle size flotation machine.

[0009] Furthermore, the left chamber is provided with a fine-particle sweeping control cone valve and a left cone valve stem, and the right chamber is provided with a right cone valve stem and a coarse-particle sweeping control cone valve.

[0010] Furthermore, the coarse-grained flotation machine includes a second pusher cone, a second froth tank, a second tank body, a second stator, a second impeller, and a guide tube. The second pusher cone consists of inner and outer parts. The inner part of the second pusher cone is inverted conical and is installed around the upper middle part of the central axis of the second tank body. The outer part of the second pusher cone is conical and is installed around the side wall of the second tank body. The upper part of the second pusher cone is 200-400mm higher than the top of the second froth tank. The second froth tank is annular and located in the middle of the second tank body. The second stator is installed on the upper end face of the guide tube. The second stator adopts trapezoidal blades and has an annular bottom plate at the bottom. The upper part of the second stator is completely open. The second impeller adopts a backward-inclined centrifugal double inverted cone form. The upper end face of the second impeller is 30-280mm lower than the upper end face of the second stator.

[0011] Furthermore, the fine-particle flotation machine includes a third bubble pusher cone, a foam expansion plate, a third foam tank, and a third tank body. The third bubble pusher cone is installed in an inverted cone shape around the upper middle part of the central axis of the third tank body, and the upper part of the third bubble pusher cone is 200-400mm higher than the top of the third foam tank. The foam expansion plate is conical and has an angle of 45-75 degrees with the tank wall of the third tank body. The third foam tank is located in a ring shape outside the foam expansion plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the fine-particle flotation machine includes an outer stator and an inner stator. The outer stator is annular, and the inner stator is cylindrical. The blades of the inner stator have an airfoil-shaped cross-section. The outer stator is provided with an eddy current strengthening plate, and the eddy current strengthening plate has an annular channel with the side wall of the third tank.

[0013] According to another objective of the present invention, the present invention provides a flotation method for full-scale recovery, comprising the following steps: Fresh slurry is fed into the first flotation machine of the conventional particle size flotation machine. After conventional particle size roughing, it is connected to the left chamber of the intermediate tank of the ore sorting via the last flotation machine. The bottom of the last flotation machine is connected to the right chamber of the intermediate tank of the ore sorting. The left chamber guides the slurry rich in fine particles into the fine particle size flotation machine for fine particle scavenging. The right chamber guides the slurry rich in coarse particles into the coarse particle size flotation machine for coarse particle scavenging. The foam from the fine particle scavenging and coarse particle scavenging operations is regrinded or scrubbed and then sent to the cleaning operation.

[0014] Furthermore, the left chamber feeds fine-grained minerals that were not recovered in the conventional particle separation operation into the fine-grained flotation machine for fine particle scavenging to recover the fine-grained target minerals; the right chamber feeds coarse-grained minerals that were not recovered in the conventional particle separation operation into the coarse-grained flotation machine for coarse particle scavenging to recover the coarse-grained minerals.

[0015] The technical solution of this invention separates coarse and fine-grained minerals in a scavenging operation. Coarse-grained minerals enter a short-transport flotation unit for coarse particle separation, while fine-grained minerals enter a high-turbulence flotation unit for fine particle separation, thereby achieving efficient recovery of low-grade mineral resources across all particle sizes. This invention creates different flotation processes based on the floatability of particles of different sizes, achieving efficient recovery based on particle size differentiation. It also facilitates precise reagent addition according to different functions of the process, enhancing reagent effectiveness and saving reagents. Attached Figure Description

The lower end of the eddy current strengthening plate is 200-600mm from the bottom of the tank, and the upper end face is flush with the lower end of the sprue plate.

[0030] The flotation process of this invention consists of conventional size roughing, coarse scavenging, and fine scavenging. The underflow from conventional size roughing is divided into two slurries, one of which enters the coarse scavenging and the other enters the fine scavenging.

[0031] The flotation system for this process consists of a conventional particle size flotation machine 100, a sorting intermediate tank 200, a coarse particle size flotation machine 300, and a fine particle size flotation machine 400.
