Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gold ore flotation technology, specifically a flotation device for gold ore beneficiation. Background Technology
[0002] Flotation involves using surfactants—foaming agents—that generate a large number of bubbles. When air is introduced into water or when agitation causes air to enter the water, the hydrophobic end of the surfactant oriented towards the air bubble at the gas-liquid interface, while the hydrophilic end remains in the solution, forming a bubble. Another surfactant (usually cationic surfactants, but also including aliphatic amines) acts as a collector, adsorbing onto the surface of the solid mineral powder. This adsorption is selective depending on the mineral properties. The basic principle is to utilize lattice defects on the crystal surface, allowing the outward-facing hydrophobic end to partially insert into the bubble. In this way, during the flotation process, the bubble may carry away the desired mineral powder, achieving the purpose of mineral beneficiation.
[0003] Chinese patent "A device for improving the flotation rate of gold ore", patent number: CN202122956163.5, provides a device for improving the flotation rate of gold ore. By screening the slurry, the slurry entering the flotation chamber is uniform, avoiding the entry of lumpy minerals into the flotation chamber and improving the flotation efficiency. By passing through a gas filter layer, substances in the air that affect flotation are filtered out to avoid affecting the flotation.
[0004] When implementing this technology, we found some problems that hindered its practicality. For example, the gold ore crushing roller group is directly set below the feed hopper to prevent lumpy minerals from entering the flotation chamber. However, in actual production, the amount of lumpy minerals in the powdered ore is relatively small, only about 2% of the total. Since all the minerals pass through the crushing device, the feeding efficiency will be significantly reduced, and it may also affect the service life of the crushing roller shaft. In addition, the efficiency of harvesting the top gold ore powder is low. Utility Model Content

The upper motor 8 has a rotating shaft that passes through the upper box 2 and is fixedly connected to a drainage shaft 24. A drainage paddle 25 is fixedly connected to the drainage shaft 24. The height of the drainage paddle 25 is the same as that of the water-blocking weir 12. A water inlet pipe 28 is fixedly connected inside the lower box 3. A drainage hole is provided on the water inlet pipe 28. The medicine tank 22 is connected to the water inlet pipe 28 through a water pump 23 and a water pipe. An air inlet pipe 29 is fixedly connected inside the lower box 3. An air nozzle 30 is provided at the lower part of the air inlet pipe 29. An air pump 17 is connected to the air inlet pipe 29 through an air pipe 16. A first discharge port 13 is connected to the lower part of the upper box 2. A second discharge port 19 is connected to the bottom of the lower box 3. A slide valve 18 is provided on the second discharge port 19.
[0019] Among them, electric cylinder 4 is a ball screw electric cylinder.
[0020] To facilitate stirring, a lower motor 20 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the lower box 3. The shaft of the lower motor 20 passes through the lower box 3 and is fixedly connected to a stirring shaft 26. A stirring paddle 27 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 26.
[0021] In order to ensure the stable rotation of the drainage shaft 24 and the stirring shaft 25, a fixing rod 14 is fixedly connected inside the lower box 3. A bearing ring 15 is fixedly connected to the center of the fixing rod 14. The end of the drainage shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the bearing ring 15, and the end of the stirring shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the bearing ring 15.
[0022] To facilitate crushing, a crushing motor 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the feed box 5. The shaft of the crushing motor 31 passes through the side wall of the feed box 5 and the crushing box 9 and is fixedly connected to the crushing roller 10.
[0023] For ease of maintenance, a cover 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the upper box 2.
[0024] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0025] During operation, gold ore powder is fed into the feed box 5 from the feed hopper 6. The vibrating screen 7 is then turned on, and the powder passes directly through the screen into the flotation box 1. Lumpy ore falls from the end of the vibrating screen 7 into the crushing box 9. At this time, the crushing motor 31 rotates, driving the crushing roller 10 to crush the lumpy ore, which then falls into the flotation box 1. Flotation reagents are added to the reagent tank 22, and the water pump 23 is turned on. The reagents enter the lower box 3 through the drain hole on the inlet pipe 28. The air pump 17 introduces gas into the air inlet pipe 29 through the air pipe 16, and the gas... The nozzle 30 discharges into the lower tank 3. The lower motor 20 drives the stirring shaft 26 to rotate, and the stirring paddle 27 stirs the gold ore slurry. At the same time, the air bubbles from the air nozzle 30 bring the useful gold ore powder to the surface of the liquid under the action of the liquid. At this time, the water pump 23, air pump 17 and lower motor 20 are stopped. The electric cylinder 4 lifts the water baffle ring 11, the upper motor 8 is turned on, the drainage shaft 24 rotates, and the drainage paddle 25 discharges the surface liquid with air bubbles from the water baffle 12 and then discharges it from the first discharge port 13. During this process, the tank cover 32 is opened to observe the water level of the liquid.
[0026] Since it is impossible to complete all the flotation in one go, the reagent can be added multiple times and air bubbles can be introduced to continue the above operation to complete the flotation of the mineral. After the flotation is completed, the slide valve 18 is opened to discharge the waste material from the second discharge port 19.
