Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mineral processing, and particularly relates to a three-product micro-fine particle cyclone-countercurrent classification equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of coal washing and processing, coarse slime separation is a key link connecting heavy medium separation and flotation process. Usually, coal slime water is pumped to a classification cyclone by a slurry pump for classification, the overflow (-0.25 mm fine slime) is sent to the flotation process, and the underflow (1-0.25 mm coarse slime) is sent to the coarse slime separation process. The classification cyclone is a key equipment for coarse / fine slime classification, and its separation efficiency directly affects the subsequent process effect. Under ideal conditions, the content of -0.25 mm particles in the underflow should be less than 15%, but in actual operation, the following problems exist: Underflow fine particle inclusion is common: with the deterioration of raw coal quality, the proportion of -0.25 mm particles in the slime increases from the traditional 15%-20% to 30%-40%. The intensified turbulence in the cyclone causes the intermediate size particles and the residual fine particles (especially 0.1-0.25 mm particles) to enter the underflow due to insufficient centrifugal force, and the inclusion rate can reach 20%-40%.

[0003] Separation precision and processing capacity conflict: to reduce the underflow fine particle inclusion, a small diameter cyclone (Φ150 mm or less) or a reduced feed pressure (<0.15 MPa) is required, but this leads to a 50%-70% reduction in single processing capacity, the increase in equipment number causes the increase in capital cost, and at the same time, it poses new challenges to the space optimization of the equipment layout of the coal preparation plant.

[0004] Air column causes energy consumption to increase and classification particle size to be unstable: the central region of the traditional classification cyclone has an air column, research has proved that this air column is unnecessary for work, but due to its unstable size and position, it causes excessive energy consumption and the classification particle size is also greatly affected by the air column.

[0005] Classification particle size is easily affected by the feed conditions: flow field fluctuation caused by unstable feed pressure and particle mismatch caused by unstable concentration have a significant impact on the classification effect. The existing classification cyclone lacks effective adjustment means when dealing with conditions such as unstable pressure, unstable concentration, or deteriorating coal quality. SUMMARY

[0011] Preferably, the intermediate particle size material collection zone comprises an overflow tank and an intermediate particle size material discharge port, wherein the overflow tank is located on one side of the overflow weir away from the upward water flow classification zone and is in communication with the upward water flow classification zone, and the intermediate particle size material discharge port is arranged at the bottom end of the overflow tank.

[0012] Preferably, the distance between the top end of the arc-shaped top of the overflow weir and the top end of the countercurrent classification tank is a, the distance between the bottom end of the arc-shaped top of the overflow weir and the top end of the countercurrent classification tank is m, and the value of a is in the range of 0.8m-0.9m, so as to avoid coarse overflow; the horizontal distance between the center of the arc bottom of the distribution arc and the overflow weir is L, and the value of L is in the range of 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the width f of the countercurrent classification zone, so as to ensure that the intermediate particle size material is fully separated and then enters the overflow tank.

[0013] Preferably, the height e of the countercurrent classification zone is in the range of 300mm-500mm, and the central angle j of the distribution arc is in the range of 60 degrees-150 degrees; the height i of the distribution arc is in the range of 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the height e of the countercurrent classification zone.

The insertion depth of the overflow pipe is h1, the insertion depth h1 of the overflow pipe refers to the length of the insertion of the overflow pipe into the interior of the classification cyclone, and the insertion depth h1 of the overflow pipe is 0.3-0.7 times the diameter D of the cyclone column segment.

[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the flow distribution hole on the inclined plate is in the range of 5mm-10mm, and the distance between adjacent flow distribution holes is 2-3 times the diameter of the flow distribution hole; the flow distribution hole adopts annular array distribution, so as to ensure that the upward water flow uniformly covers the countercurrent classification zone.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: The device can reduce the underflow fine rate. On the basis of a conventional hydrocyclone, the underflow directly enters the annular gap of the reverse flow classification box, and the underflow material of the classification cyclone is subjected to secondary classification by the action of the rising water flow. The intermediate particle size material enters the overflow tank with the rising water flow, and the coarse particle material falls into the coarse particle material collection area.

[0016] The device can reduce the overflow coarse running phenomenon. Since the underflow of the classification cyclone is directly inserted into the reverse flow classification tank, a "water seal type cyclone" is formed, which weakens the influence of the air column on the separation effect and reduces the overflow coarse running phenomenon.

[0017] The device can improve the stability of the particle size range of the coarse coal slime separation system. On the basis of the existing classification cyclone, a reverse flow classification box is added. When the underflow of the classification cyclone is severely fine due to fluctuations in the working conditions such as feed pressure, concentration, and coal quality, the rising water flow rate can be adjusted to strengthen the classification of the underflow of the classification cyclone, effectively ensuring the stability of the particle size range of the feed material supplied to the coarse coal slime separation system.

[0018] Compared with the two-stage cyclone in series or the cyclone + screening process, the existing classification cyclone underflow tank is directly transformed into a reverse flow classification tank without improving the original ore slurry pumping system, which has limited impact on the plant area and low additional power consumption (due to the rising water flow pump).

[0019] In the beneficiation process, the ore particles are usually ground to a certain particle size to release valuable minerals from the ore particles. After grinding, the mineral particles are returned to the classification cyclone for classification. The intermediate particle size material (classification cyclone overflow) enters the subsequent flotation process, and the coarse particle material (classification cyclone underflow) is returned to the ball mill for grinding. However, due to the structure of the classification cyclone, the underflow often contains 10%-30% of intermediate particle size material. Due to the incomplete classification efficiency, this part of intermediate particle size material that has reached the required particle size enters the ball mill with the underflow, resulting in reduced grinding efficiency, increased overgrinding rate, reduced processing capacity, and increased energy consumption for the same processing capacity. The patent performs secondary reverse flow classification on the underflow of the cyclone, and by adjusting the rising water flow rate, this part of intermediate particle size material can be removed from the coarse particle material, greatly reducing the content of intermediate particle size material entering the subsequent grinding process, which is beneficial to improving the grinding efficiency and reducing the grinding energy consumption.

[0020] In addition, the overflow coarse phenomenon exists in the coal separation link of the classification cyclone, which leads to poor subsequent flotation effect and increased flotation cost. Moreover, the fine inclusion of the underflow of the classification cyclone also has a great influence on the subsequent coarse slime separation, which leads to poor coarse slime separation efficiency. The three-product classification equipment proposed in the patent has a good solving effect on the overflow coarse and underflow fine inclusion of the slime. The overflow without coarse material can be ensured by changing the insertion depth of the overflow pipe, which will increase the probability of underflow fine inclusion. The intermediate size material mismatched in the underflow can be discharged by adjusting the upward water flow velocity due to the configuration of the secondary reverse flow classification link. The existence of the secondary reverse flow classification operation can weaken the overflow coarse phenomenon and the underflow fine inclusion phenomenon. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
