Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid waste treatment technology, and in particular to a system for enriching clay minerals from coal slime and its operation method. Background Technology

[0002] Clay minerals are important non-metallic mineral resources, and coal-associated clay minerals are particularly advantageous in my country, playing a vital role in modern industrial development and technological advancement in traditional industries. These products offer high added value and good economic benefits. For the recovery and utilization of kaolin from lumpy coal gangue, methods such as dry air separation, intelligent dry separation, gravity separation, and heavy media separation have been reported in numerous studies, and some have already been industrialized. However, there are very few processes available for the recovery of clay minerals from coal slime.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of flotation technology, the ash content of coal tailings from coal preparation plants has generally increased to over 60%. This portion of coal tailings can no longer be sold as a coal product, and direct discharge would have a significant impact on the ecological environment. The problem of disposing of high-ash coal tailings can be solved by enriching and comprehensively utilizing clay minerals. Therefore, solving the current situation of coal tailings disposal and realizing the resource utilization of coal tailings solid waste has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a system and its operation method for enriching clay minerals from coal slime.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a system for enriching clay minerals from coal slime, comprising the following devices: a first hydrocyclone, a second classification system, a third classification system, a second parallel hydrocyclone group, a tailings filter press, a clay thickener, and a clay filter press. The second-stage classification system includes a second-stage cyclone jet aerator, a pipeline mixer, a flotation cell, a medium-coal slime filter press, and a second-stage cyclone separator; The third-stage classification system includes the first parallel hydrocyclone group and the series hydrocyclone group.

[0009] Preferably, the ratio of the number of individual hydrocyclones in the first stage to the number of individual hydrocyclones in the first parallel hydrocyclone group is 1:10~22; The ratio of the number of individual hydrocyclones in the first stage to the number of individual hydrocyclones in the second parallel hydrocyclone group is 1:50~190.

[0010] The present invention also provides a method for operating the system for enriching clay minerals from coal slime, comprising the following steps: (1) The coal slurry water is fed into the first hydrocyclone for classification to obtain the first underflow and the first overflow; (2) The first overflow is fed into the second stage swirl jet aerator to obtain the second underflow and the second overflow; the second overflow enters the flotation cell through the pipeline mixer to obtain the foam product and the underflow; the foam product is fed into the medium coal slime filter press for dewatering to obtain medium coal slime; or; The first overflow is fed into the second hydrocyclone to obtain the second underflow and the second overflow; (3) The underflow of the second overflow or flotation cell is fed into the first parallel hydrocyclone group to obtain the third underflow and the third overflow, and the third overflow is fed into the second parallel hydrocyclone group to obtain the fourth underflow and the fourth overflow; or; The overflow or underflow from the second overflow or flotation cell is fed into a series of hydrocyclones to obtain the overflow and underflow. (4) The underflow generated by the first underflow, the second underflow, the third underflow, the fourth underflow and the series hydrocyclone group is fed into the tailings filter press, and the tailings are obtained by filter pressing and dewatering. (5) The overflow generated by the fourth overflow or the series hydrocyclone group is fed into the clay filter press through the clay thickener, and the clay minerals are obtained by filter pressing and dewatering.

[0011] This invention provides a system for enriching clay minerals from coal slime, comprising the following devices: a first-stage hydrocyclone, a second-stage classification system, a third-stage classification system, a second parallel hydrocyclone group, a tailings filter press, a clay thickener, and a clay filter press; the second-stage classification system includes a second-stage cyclone jet aerator, a pipeline mixer, a flotation cell, a middlings filter press, and a second-stage hydrocyclone; the third-stage classification system includes a first parallel hydrocyclone group and a series hydrocyclone group.

Then, depending on the selection of the first parallel hydrocyclone group or the series hydrocyclone group for the next step, different processing methods are operated, ultimately obtaining a fourth underflow, a fourth overflow, and overflow and underflow generated by the series hydrocyclone group. Finally, the final products are collected. The underflow enters a tailings filter press for dewatering to obtain tailings, while the overflow is concentrated in a clay thickener and then fed into a clay filter press for dewatering to obtain clay minerals.

[0051] The coal slime from the coal preparation plant first enters the first feed tank 1, and is fed into the first hydrocyclone 3 by pump 1 2 for classification, resulting in the first underflow and the first overflow.

[0055] from Figures 4-6 It can be seen that the clay minerals obtained by using Examples 1 to 3 are mainly composed of kaolinite minerals, with very small amounts of coal particles or quartz particles.

[0056] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention will further process the first overflow obtained from the first hydrocyclone. Depending on the equipment selected in the next step, the processing method will be different, resulting in medium coal slime, underflow, or second overflow. Then, depending on the selection of parallel hydrocyclone groups or series hydrocyclone groups in the next step, different processing methods will be obtained, ultimately resulting in a fourth underflow, a fourth overflow, an overflow and a tailflow generated by the series hydrocyclone group 21. Finally, the final products will be collected, the underflow will enter the tailings filter press to obtain tailings, and the overflow will be fed into the clay filter press through the clay thickener to obtain clay minerals.
