Many dressing plants attach great importance to the research and development and application of tailings treatment technology to achieve sustainable development.
[0003] In the prior art, the undersized material is transported from the relay pump station to the pre-sedimentation tank, and then to the tailings pond through the linear screen. However, in the tailings dredging process, the undersized tailings enter the fine sand tailings pump station and are discharged to the tailings pond. After testing, there are still some recoverable +0.045mm particle size particles in the slurry. This part has certain economic value, such as being used to make cement concrete. If it can be effectively utilized, it can improve resource utilization while bringing economic benefits, and is more conducive to establishing a good image of the mineral processing enterprise; however, directly returning all the part discharged to the tailings pond will cause the process to be bloated, and the energy consumption of tailings treatment will be greatly increased, the treatment efficiency will be greatly reduced, and the economic benefits will be poor; therefore, a tailings dredging pipeline system is urgently needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a tailings sand bailing pipeline system to solve the problem that there are some recoverable +0.045mm particle size particles in the tailings discharged from the fine sand tailings pump station to the tailings pond, which need to be utilized in a suitable reflux method.

[0020] A tailings production pipeline system in the mineral processing process can be found in Figure 1, which includes a pump station for conveying the mineral processing raw materials to the pretreatment equipment, wherein the discharge direction of the pretreatment equipment is divided into two parts, one part is connected to the tailings discharge pipe for discharging to the tailings pond, and the other part is connected to the material pipe to be screened, which is sequentially connected with the first screening device and the second screening device; this pipeline system also includes a tailings conveying pipe for conveying the tailings screened by the first screening device and the second screening device to the tailings pond; wherein the screened product of the second screening device, that is, the output is a particle size of +0.045mm;
[0021] The utility model is improved under the above existing pipeline system conditions, a tailings sand dredging pipeline system, the tailings conveying pipe includes a turbulent section and a laminar section in sequence along the conveying direction (see Figure 4 ), an outlet is opened at any lower end of the laminar flow section and is connected to a circulation pipe, the diameter of the circulation pipe is smaller than the diameter of the tailings conveying pipe, the outlet end of the circulation pipe is connected to the feed end of the pump station to the feed end of the first screening device, preferably, the outlet end of the circulation pipe is connected to the feed end of the pump station, the feed end of the pretreatment equipment or the feed end of the first screening device, which is closest to the connection between the circulation pipe and the tailings conveying pipe (i.e. the shortest circulation pipe), and generally there is no need to set up an additional power delivery pump.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the connection between the circulation pipe and the tailings conveying pipe is located at one end of the laminar flow section of the tailings conveying pipe close to the turbulent flow section, which can reduce the energy consumption of transportation before entering the circulation pipe.
[0023] Of course, the improvements of the utility model are not only applicable to products with a particle size of +0.045mm, but this particle size can be directly sold as a product. According to the economic value requirements of the output, the pipeline system of the utility model can also be applied to other tailings production processes, and new demands that may arise in the future are not ruled out. For example, assuming that +0.074 and +0.15mm products can be used as raw materials for a certain product, the tailings production process will also change accordingly. At that time, the pipeline system of the utility model can still be used to reduce the content of +0.074 and +0.15mm particles transported to the tailings pond by the tailings conveying pipe. Therefore, the +0.045mm particle size should not be the only limitation of the utility model.
[0024] In addition, the present invention has other preferred implementation modes, which are further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0025] Example:
[0026] The tailings production construction project of a concentrator in Aoshan Mine, Ma'anshan, Anhui Province uses a 3-0.045mm particle size process. After the tailings raw materials are pre-treated in the pre-sedimentation tank from the relay pump station, the overflow is directly sent to the Aoshan Lake tailings pond, and the lower layer is transported to the hydrocyclone for classification and concentration, and then dehydrated by the linear screen to select +0.045mm particle size particles. The tailings from the hydrocyclone and the linear screen are passed to the fine sand tailings pump station. The tailings conveying pipe adopts a DN630 pipe, and its two ends are respectively connected to the fine sand tailings pump station and the Aoshan Lake tailings pond. The turbulent section of the tailings conveying pipe is connected to a slurry pump for conveying materials;
[0027] Through the analysis of the long-term sampling results of particle size, in the slurry injected into the relay pump station, the +0.045mm particle size accounts for about 50%-60%, while the +0.045mm particle size of the tailings of the cyclone and linear screen accounts for about 15%-20%, which has the significance of recycling.
[0028] The tailings discharge end of the cyclone and linear screen is about 2km away from the Aoshanhu tailings pond. Due to the long distance and long pipeline, the slurry in the pipeline has stabilized in the middle section. The slurry in the pipeline has a turbulent section and a laminar section, and the particle size is stratified in the laminar section.
[0029] The scheme in the above implementation mode is adopted for upgrading and transformation. The lower part of the tailings conveying pipe is opened after the turbulent section is changed to the laminar section, and the circulation pipe is welded and connected to guide the slurry rich in large particles at the bottom to return to the relay pump station more than ten meters away; among them, if Figure 2 As shown, the circulation pipe uses a relatively thin DN100 pipe (because only a part of the slurry needs to be circulated). In order to facilitate flow diversion and reduce resistance and impact, refer to Figure 3 The angle between the slurry flow direction at the inlet end of the circulation pipe and the slurry flow direction at the connected tailings conveying pipe is an acute angle. For reference only, a hole is drilled on the lower wall of the DN630 pipe, and the short axis of the elliptical aperture is enlarged to 95mm. The long axis is parallel to the flow direction in the pipe, and the length is determined according to the inclination angle of the external pipe; further, an alloy backpack is fixed on the outside of the connection between the circulation pipe and the tailings conveying pipe as a reinforcement component, and other reinforcement methods such as grouting backpack can also be used. The purpose is to cope with impact force and wear, improve operation stability and extend service life.
[0030] After the transformation, the long-term particle size sampling results of the slurry transported by the tailings conveying pipe to the Aoshan Lake tailings pond were analyzed, and the +0.045mm particle size contained was less than 10%, which was a significant improvement compared with the previous 15%-20%, proving that more +0.045mm particle size particles were produced as products.
[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope defined by the claims.
[0032] The matters not described in detail in the present invention are all known technologies to those skilled in the art.
