Description

[0002] At present, the commonly used filtering equipment in the in-situ leaching uranium process includes a combination of bag filters and sand filter towers. However, when the bag filter is used alone, it is difficult to separate fine particles such as silt and clay. These particles will not only interfere with the subsequent hydrometallurgical process, but may also flow back to the injection well with the tailings, exacerbating the blockage problem; although the use of high-precision filter bags can improve the interception effect, this will greatly reduce the processing flow. Once the filter bag is blocked, it will also increase the system pressure and reduce the injection efficiency. On the other hand, although the sand filter tower performs well in processing capacity and filtration accuracy, its equipment is large in size, high in cost, and requires regular backwashing, which not only increases the complexity of operation, but also the treatment of radioactive wastewater generated by backwashing is also a problem.

[0047] Embodiment 2:

[0048] This embodiment provides a deep filtering method for surface leachate of uranium in situ leaching.

[0049] See also Figure 2 , the figure shows that the method includes step S10, step S20, step S30, step S40, step S50, step S60 and step S70:

[0050] Step S10.

[0054] Step S31. Obtaining the bottom radius of the fiber ball filter 26;

[0055] Step S32. Calculate the fiber ball filling volume based on the bottom radius and the fiber ball height value;

[0056] Step S33. Calculate the ratio of the fluid volume to the fiber ball filling volume to obtain the flow ratio;

[0057] Specifically, a flow meter 20 is provided on the liquid outlet pipe 17 of the fiber ball filter to monitor the fluid flow rate Q in real time. x (m 3 / h), and calculate the cumulative fluid volume V passing through the fiber ball filter 26 total (m 3 / h):

[0058]

[0059] Wherein, T is the working time of the fiber ball filter 26; Q x is the fluid flow rate; V total is the volume of the fluid.

[0060] The calculation formula of the current ratio is:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, K is the current ratio; V total is the volume of the fluid; V x Fill the volume for the fiber ball.

[0063] Step S40. When the flow ratio is greater than the set threshold, pressure values ​​are collected based on the inlet pressure gauge 13 and the outlet pressure gauge 19 to obtain a first pressure value and a second pressure value;

[0064] Specifically, the flow ratio reflects the relationship between the total amount of fluid processed by the fiber ball filter 26 within a certain period of time and the volume of the filler in the filter, and can intuitively evaluate the operating status and service life of the fiber ball filter 26. When the flow ratio exceeds the set threshold, it indicates that the fiber ball filter 26 has been running for too long, and the fiber balls in the fiber ball filter 26 begin to become clogged or the filtration efficiency decreases, and the fiber ball flushing treatment is required at this time.

[0065] Step S50. Calculate the flushing pressure based on the first pressure value, the second pressure value and the flow rate;

[0066] Specifically, step S50 specifically includes step S51, step S52, step S53, step S54, step S55, step S56 and step S57:

[0067] Step S51. Obtaining a preset flow rate upper limit value and a flow rate lower limit value;

[0069] Step S53. Calculate the difference between the lower flow rate limit and the upper flow rate limit to obtain a second value;

[0070] Step S54. Calculate the absolute value of the ratio of the first value to the second value to obtain a third value;

[0071] Step S55. Calculate the difference between the first pressure value and the second pressure value to obtain a fourth value;

[0072] Step S56. Calculate the ratio of the fourth value to the second pressure value to obtain a fifth value;

[0073] Step S57. Calculate the product of the fifth value and the third value to obtain the flushing pressure;

[0074] Specifically, in the present application, the flushing pressure of the fiber ball filter 26 is calculated by comprehensively considering the flow rate and the pressure value, and the corresponding calculation formula is:

[0075]

[0076] Among them, P C is the flushing pressure; v x is the flow velocity; v u is the upper limit of flow rate; v d is the lower limit of flow rate; P1 is the first pressure value; P2 is the second pressure value.

[0081] Step S63. Calculate the reciprocal of the natural constant as the base, and the sixth value as the exponential function value of the variable to obtain the seventh value;

[0082] Step S64: Calculate the product of the seventh value and the preset flushing time to obtain the adjusted time;

[0083] Step S65. Calculate the sum of the preset flushing time and the adjusted time to obtain the flushing time;

[0084] Specifically, the flushing time calculation formula is:

[0085]

[0086] Where, T is the flushing time; T c is the preset flushing time; P1 is the first pressure value; P2 is the second pressure value.

[0087] Step S70. Periodically flush the fiber balls 27 in the fiber ball filter 26 based on the flushing pressure and flushing duration;

[0088] Specifically, step S70 specifically includes step S71, step S72, step S73, step S74 and step S75:

[0089] Step S71. Set all valves to the second switch state, and open the backwash pipe to flush the fiber ball 27 based on the flushing pressure and flushing duration. The second switch state includes closing the liquid collection tank inlet valve 6, the liquid collection tank outlet valve 8, the pump front valve 9, the pipe inlet valve 12 and the filtered liquid valve 18, and opening the bypass valve 16, the backwash pipe valve 22 and the backwash liquid valve 24;

[0090] Step S72. After the flushing is completed, the flow ratio after the flushing is calculated based on the fluid volume and the current fiber ball height value;

[0091] Step S73. When the flow rate after flushing is not greater than the set threshold, all valves are set to the first switch state to perform deep filtration of the in situ leaching uranium leachate;

[0092] Step S74. When the flow rate after flushing is greater than the set threshold, a preset flushing pressure is obtained;

[0093] Step S75. Flushing the fiber ball 27 based on a preset flushing pressure and a preset flushing time;

[0094] Specifically, after the fiber balls in the fiber ball filter 26 are flushed for the first time, the flow ratio after flushing needs to be calculated again. When the flow ratio after flushing is not greater than the set threshold, the deep filtration of the in situ leaching uranium leachate can continue; when the flow ratio after flushing is still greater than the set threshold, it means that the first flushing is not completely clean. At this time, a second flushing is performed based on the pre-set flushing pressure and flushing time to ensure that the fiber ball filter 26 is always maintained in a good filtering state.

[0095] The clear liquid obtained by deep filtration of the fiber ball filter 26 is subjected to quality inspection by an online particle size detection device. Unqualified clear liquid needs to be returned to the fiber ball filter 26 for deep filtration again, and qualified clear liquid is sent to the ion exchange system for further processing.

[0096] Embodiment 3:

[0097] The particle size of the unfiltered leaching solution from a mine in Xinjiang was tested. The average particle size of the particles in the solution was d p = 104.9 μm, using the existing bag filter, the average particle size of the particles remaining after filtration is d p =4.1μm; using the deep filtration method of the present application, the fiber ball filter 26 is used to replace the bag filter, and the average particle size of the residual particles after filtration is d p =2.9μm.

[0098] The actual test results prove the excellent performance of the fiber ball filter 26 in improving the filtering effect. As shown in Table 1, it is the process data of a uranium mine in Xinjiang. 10 d50 and d 90 are three key statistical parameters of particle size distribution, which represent specific percentiles of the cumulative particle size distribution, such as d 10 It means that in the particle size distribution, 10% of the particles have diameters smaller than this value.

[0099] Table 1 Process data of a uranium mine in Xinjiang (leaching solution flow rate: 22m3 / h)

[0100]

[0101] As can be seen from Table 1, the particle size range of the particles after treatment by the fiber ball filter 26 is narrower, 1.170-23.96 μm, which is more precise in controlling the particle size than the 0.748-26.79 μm of the bag filter; and the average particle size is smaller, indicating that the fiber ball filter can more effectively remove smaller particles and improve the purity of the leachate.

[0102] The clear liquid after deep filtration using fiber ball filter 26 10 The value is 1.703μm, which is larger than the 1.586μm of the bag filter, indicating that in the particle size distribution, the fiber ball filter 26 allows more smaller particles to be effectively filtered, making the proportion of particles smaller than this value relatively low, and the filtering effect is more stable. 50 The value is 2.449μm, which is smaller than the 3.632μm of the bag filter, which reflects the advantage of the fiber ball filter 26 in processing medium-sized particles and can better control the intermediate distribution state of particles. 90 The value is 3.594μm, which is much smaller than the 10.70μm of the bag filter, indicating that the fiber ball filter 26 has a stronger ability to remove larger particles and can effectively prevent the adverse effects of large particles on subsequent processes. Therefore, it can be seen that the fiber ball filter 26 has obvious advantages in particle size control and particle distribution processing when filtering the leachate compared to the bag filter, and can perform filtering processing more efficiently.

[0103] Embodiment 4:

[0104] The examples of the present application provide a filtration performance analysis of fiber balls.

[0105] like Figure 3 As shown, the performance of the fiber ball filter 26 does not decrease with the running time. The dimensionless bed height in the figure is The definition is the height of the fiber ball bed. The higher the height of the fiber ball bed, the better the filtration effect. The fiber ball filter 26 has a sustained and stable filtration performance due to its deep filtration characteristics, that is, the filtration effect occurs not only on the surface of the medium, but also in the pores of the entire medium.

[0106] In the actual filtering process, impurity particles must pass through the slender and tortuous channels formed by the pores of the filter medium. Since the size of the impurity particles is much smaller than the internal pores of the medium, the particles are effectively trapped in the channels and distributed in the longitudinal depth of the filter material. In these tiny channels, the impurity particles carried by the fluid are pushed to the channel wall under the action of fluid dynamics. The combined effect of static electricity and surface tension makes these particles finally adhere to the channel wall, ensuring high-efficiency filtration.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
