Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mineral processing equipment technology, specifically to a method for predicting the discharge performance of a semi-autogenous mill that integrates multiphase flow simulation and screening mathematical model. Background Technology
[0002] As a core piece of equipment in the mineral processing field, the discharge performance of a semi-autogenous grinding mill directly determines the processing efficiency, separation accuracy, and mineral recovery rate of subsequent flotation, gravity separation, and other beneficiation operations. It has an irreplaceable impact on the overall beneficiation process's capacity release, energy consumption control, and product quality stability. Accurate and real-time discharge performance prediction is a crucial prerequisite for achieving load optimization, adaptive parameter adjustment, and intelligent management of the entire semi-autogenous grinding mill process. It is also a key technological bottleneck in the current transformation of the mineral processing industry towards "high efficiency, low carbon emissions, and intelligence." Existing technologies for predicting the discharge performance of semi-autogenous mills have significant shortcomings and are difficult to meet actual industrial needs. Traditional empirical models heavily rely on historical production data under specific operating conditions, and the model parameters lack mechanistic support. When parameters such as ore properties and mill operation fluctuate, the prediction accuracy drops sharply, and the generalization ability is extremely poor. Although discrete element method (DEM) simulation can simulate the collision, grinding, and motion trajectory of solid particles such as ore and steel balls in detail, it generally ignores the key role of slurry in the mill. In actual operating conditions, slurry not only changes the suspension state and motion trajectory of particles through drag and buoyancy, but its flow characteristics also directly affect the entrainment and conveying of fine-grained materials and the screening efficiency of the discharge end liner. Some existing multiphase flow simulation methods only achieve unidirectional coupling between discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), but do not combine dynamic screening models, making it difficult to accurately replicate the synergistic mechanism of "particle-fluid-screening" at the discharge end. Therefore, there is an urgent need in industrial settings for a prediction method that combines mechanistic and practical approaches, capable of fully coupling the interaction between particles, fluid, and air phases and the dynamic screening process, to achieve high-precision prediction of discharge rate and particle size distribution in semi-autogenous mills, providing core model support for intelligent control of semi-autogenous mills, and addressing the industry pain points of existing technologies such as "weak generalization ability, low prediction accuracy, and insufficient mechanistic aspects".
