Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of magnetic medium cleaning, and in particular relates to a magnetic medium cleaning system for a magnetic separator. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mineral processing, high-gradient magnetic separators are a common method for removing iron impurities from products. However, as separators age, impurities inevitably adhere to the magnetic media, reducing separation efficiency. These impurities are typically composed of wood chips, fine plastics, iron filings, coarse-grained ore, and other weakly magnetic impurities in the production slurry. The complexity of these impurities complicates magnetic media cleaning, severely impacting separator efficiency.

[0003] Currently, several methods for cleaning magnetic media are used in industry, including ultrasonic cleaning, acid cleaning, and physical shaking. However, ultrasonic cleaning and acid cleaning only produce satisfactory results under specific conditions and are very time-consuming. Physical shaking, which requires striking the magnetic media, can easily damage it. Utility Model Content

The connection is located between the first alkali liquid delivery pump and the first alkali liquid valve. A second alkali liquid valve is provided on the alkali liquid discharge pipe.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the magnetic separator 1 is a vertical magnetic separator 1 .

[0023] In some embodiments of the present invention, an ultrasonic cleaning plate is further provided in the vertical magnetic separator 1 .

[0024] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ultrasonic cleaning plate has a width of 1 / 2-1 / 2 of the width of the vertical ring of the magnetic separator 1, and a length of 1 / 5-1 / 3 of the diameter of the vertical ring of the magnetic separator 1. The ultrasonic cleaning plate is in direct contact with the material and is placed in front of the vertical ring. The height difference between the lower edge of the ultrasonic cleaning plate and the lower edge of the vertical ring is 0-1 / 5 of the length of the ultrasonic cleaning plate. The length and width of the ultrasonic cleaning plate are limited for the following reasons: first, to facilitate its installation within the magnetic separator 11; second, to ensure that it remains immersed in the alkali solution while in the cylinder; and third, to ensure optimal ultrasonic cleaning results.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present invention, a stirring device is further provided in the alkali solution tank 2 .

[0026] In some embodiments of the present invention, the volume of the alkali solution tank 2 is more than three times the volume of the hopper of the magnetic separator 1 .

[0027] In some embodiments of the present invention, the top height of the alkali liquid tank 2 is more than 0.5m lower than the height of the ore outlet of the magnetic separator 1. Because the tailings outlet height of the magnetic separator 1 is higher than the alkali liquid tank 2, gravity can flow when the valve is opened, which saves energy while ensuring complete discharge.

[0028] The magnetic separator magnetic medium cleaning system disclosed in the utility model can achieve direct communication between the magnetic separator 1 and the alkali solution tank 2 through the alkali solution output pipe 3 and the alkali solution circulation pipe 4. The alkali solution used for cleaning can be input into the magnetic separator 1 through the ore inlet, without the need to remove the medium box for cleaning. The used alkali solution can be circulated for cleaning. When the solute concentration reaches a certain value, the cleaned alkali solution can be discharged from the alkali solution discharge pipe 5 by adjusting the relevant valves and returned to the alumina production for utilization. In addition, the device is also equipped with an ultrasonic cleaning plate, which can combine alkali cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning to achieve better cleaning effect and higher cleaning efficiency.

[0029] The utility model provides a method for cleaning the magnetic medium of a magnetic separator using the cleaning system disclosed in the utility model, comprising the following steps:

[0030] (1) transporting the alkali solution to the alkali solution tank 2 through the liquid alkali pipeline, and heating the alkali solution through the steam coil group 6;

[0031] (2) using a first alkali solution delivery pump to deliver the alkali solution heated to a certain temperature to the ore inlet of the magnetic separator 1 to clean the magnetic medium attached to the inside of the magnetic separator;

[0032] (3) The cleaned alkali solution is returned to the alkali solution tank 2 from the tailings outlet of the magnetic separator 1 through the alkali solution circulation pipe 4. Because the tailings outlet of the magnetic separator 1 is higher than the alkali solution tank 2, the valve can be opened to allow gravity to flow, which saves energy and ensures complete discharge.

[0033] (4) After cleaning for a certain period of time, the alkali solution is transported to the production process through the alkali solution discharge pipe 5 for recycling.

[0034] As a preferred option:

[0035] In step (1), the optimal heating temperature of the alkali solution is 70-100°C.

[0036] In step (1), the alkali solution can be sodium aluminate solution from the alumina process or industrial liquid alkali, with the caustic soda Nk concentration being not less than 200 g / L. If sodium aluminate solution from the alumina process is used, the molecular ratio αk of the sodium aluminate solution is ≥ 2.7.

[0037] In step (2), an ultrasonic cleaning plate can be optionally installed in the magnetic separator 1 so that the ultrasonic cleaning plate is in contact with the alkaline solution, and ultrasonic cleaning is started simultaneously with the alkaline cleaning.

[0038] In step (4), the cleaning time is 5-48 hours.

[0039] The alkali liquor is one of liquid alkali or evaporated mother liquor.

[0040] After testing, the system and method of the present invention were used to remove scabs from the magnetic separator after 8 hours of cleaning, and the removal rate of scabs from the magnetic separator after 48 hours of cleaning was 92%, demonstrating that the system of the present invention has a good effect in clearing magnetic media.
