Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the ore dressing process, the treatment of tailings is an important link. The tailings are often used as filling aggregate in mines, mixed with cementing material for stirring (no cementing material is added when non-cementing filling is used), to form filling slurry meeting the requirements, which is self-flowing or pumped to the backfilling site of the mine through drilling and underground filling pipeline. The tailings used as filling aggregate are mainly from the tailings with low concentration (generally 10-20%) in the dressing plant. The tailings and flocculants have a coagulation reaction in the thickener, and the fine particles are aggregated to form larger flocs. After flocculation, sedimentation and concentration in the thickener, the tailings with high concentration (55-80%) are formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application is described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor also belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] As Figure 1 The present application discloses a thickener for ore dressing, which comprises a cylindrical pool body 1, an overflow port is arranged at the top of the pool body 1, an overflow tank 3 communicating with the overflow port is arranged at the outer edge of the pool body 1, and the overflow tank 3 is connected with an overflow pipe 31; a top frame 2 is arranged at the center position of the top of the pool body 1, a feeding barrel 4 is hung at the center position of the top frame 2, a feeding pipe 41 is fixed to one side of the top frame 2 and is tangentially connected with the side wall of the feeding barrel 4; a first driving motor 61 is fixedly arranged at the center position of the top frame 2, the output end of the first driving motor 61 is connected with a rotating shaft 62 rotatingly connected below the top frame 2, and the rotating shaft 62 penetrates through the feeding barrel 4; a rake frame 71 is arranged on the side wall of the rotating shaft 62, a scraping plate 72 is arranged at the end of the rake frame 71 close to the inner wall of the pool body 1, and the scraping plate 72 abuts against the inner wall of the pool body 1; a compression mechanism is further arranged between the feeding barrel 4 and the rake frame 71; a collecting tank 5 is connected with the bottom center of the pool body 1, and a tailings outlet pipe 51 is connected with the bottom of the collecting tank 5.

[0025] When the thickener is in use, the tailings and the flocculating agent are fed into the feed tank 4 through the feed pipe 41, and then continue to enter the pool body 1. Under the action of gravity, the flocs formed by the tailings particles continue to sink and thicken, and finally form a thickening layer, a compression layer, a settling layer and a clarified layer from bottom to top in the pool body 1 of the thickener. The supernatant of the clarified layer is discharged through the overflow pipe 31 into the overflow tank 3, and finally into the wastewater treatment unit. The process of discharging the supernatant is efficient and stable. After the tailings and the flocculating agent are fed, gravity settling is carried out in the settling layer, and then further compression is carried out by the compression mechanism in the compression layer to remove the water entrained in the flocs. Then, in the thickening layer, the raking frame 71 is used for thickening to realize solid-liquid separation, and the concentrated tailings are concentrated to the center position at the bottom of the pool body 1, and finally discharged into the collection tank 5. The high-concentration tailings are discharged into the tailings treatment unit through the tailings outlet pipe 51.

[0026] The raking frame 71 adopts the structure of the raking frame 71 commonly used in the art. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 62 driven by the first driving motor 61, the raking frame 71 drives the surrounding water and materials to move in a vortex shape, scrapes off the materials accumulated in the thickening layer, extrudes and discharges the water therein, and then pushes the concentrated tailings to the middle position at the bottom of the pool body 1 to accelerate the discharging speed of the tailings, and finally sends them to the collection tank 5 below the bottom of the pool body 1. At the same time, the raking frame 71 also drives the scraper 72 to rotate when rotating, which can scrape off the particles adhering to the inner side wall of the pool body 1, reduce the residual solid particles in the thickening layer slurry, and prevent the formation of material accumulation on the side wall of the pool body 1, thereby affecting the thickening effect of the thickening layer.

[0027] When the thickener is in use, the thickening layer, the compression layer, the settling layer and the clarified layer formed in the pool body 1 can all play a role in solid-liquid separation. By using gravity settling, compression by the compression mechanism, thickening by the raking frame 71 and other means, the concentration efficiency of the tailings can be quickly improved, the treatment time is shortened, the tailings treatment capacity of the thickener is increased, the quality of the tailings is improved, which is conducive to resource recycling and utilization, and also helps to reduce the floor area occupied by the thickener, reduce energy consumption, reduce the cost of infrastructure construction, and is conducive to energy saving and emission reduction of enterprises. The practicability and production efficiency of the thickener are greatly improved.

[0028] Further, the bottom of the pool body 1 is provided with a reverse conical structure, and the bottom surface of the pool body 1 is arranged at an inclination angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 60° with respect to the horizontal plane; the bottom of the raking frame 71 abuts against the bottom surface of the pool body 1. The inclined arrangement of the bottom surface of the pool body 1 can accelerate the collection of tailings to the center position, improve the discharge and discharging speed, and also avoid the accumulation of tailings on the bottom surface of the pool body 1.

[0029] As Figure 2Further, the feeding barrel 4 comprises a steady flow barrel 42, a guide plate 43, a spiral blade 44, a fixed bottom ring 45 and a flow guide plate 46; the steady flow barrel 42 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the feeding pipe 41 is tangentially connected with the side wall of the steady flow barrel 42; the bottom of the steady flow barrel 42 is connected with the annular guide plate 43, the bottom of the guide plate 43 is uniformly provided with a plurality of spiral blades 44 in the circumferential direction, and the other end of all the spiral blades 44 extends downward and is connected with the fixed bottom ring 45; the flow guide plate 46 is arranged on the inner wall of the steady flow barrel 42 and is arranged at the connection between the feeding pipe 41 and the steady flow barrel 42, and the direction of the flow guide plate 46 is consistent with the feeding direction.

[0030] The feeding barrel 4 is used for receiving the material from the feeding pipe 41, the material transported by the feeding pipe 41 is the mixture of tailings and flocculants, the structure of the feeding barrel 4 has a swirling effect on the feeding, so that the feeding enters the pool body 1 in a spiral flow manner, which can deepen the mixing degree of the tailings and the flocculants in the feeding barrel 4, ensure that the particles in the tailings form large particle flocs under the action of the flocculants, maximize the adsorption of the flocculants, and can also degas the feeding, so that the flocculants and the particles in the tailings are better combined, and even if the feeding flow fluctuates, the flocculation effect can be ensured.

[0031] Further, the diameter of the steady flow barrel 42 is greater than the diameter of the fixed bottom ring 45. Specifically, the mixture of tailings and flocculants is introduced by the flow guide plate 46 and enters the steady flow barrel 42 and the guide plate 43 in a tangential feeding manner, which increases the centrifugal force of the material, and then the material moves downward along the guide of the spiral blade 44, passes through the fixed bottom ring 45, and enters the pool body 1 from the center of the feeding barrel 4 and the pool body 1. Under the guide of the spiral blade 44 and the action of low shear force, the large particle flocs enter the central area of the pool body 1 smoothly and can quickly enter the settling layer, which shortens the settling distance of the large particle flocs, and the fine particle flocs are evenly diffused to the periphery of the pool body 1 through the gaps between the spiral blades 44, which avoids the phenomenon of backflow and turning caused by the direct impact of the feeding on the settled material in the pool body 1, thereby affecting the turbidity of the overflow liquid in the clarification layer, ensuring the stability of the feeding, and improving the recovery rate and clarity of the overflow liquid.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 3Further, the compression mechanism comprises a lifting driving member, a lifting plate 81, a plurality of vertical plates 82 and a plurality of sieve plates 83 corresponding to the vertical plates 82; the lifting plate 81 is arranged in parallel below the top frame 2, and the bottom of the lifting plate 81 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of vertical plates 82 along the length direction thereof; the bottom of each vertical plate 82 is vertically connected with a sieve plate 83 corresponding thereto; each sieve plate 83 is uniformly and densely provided with sieve holes; the lifting driving member comprises a second driving motor 84 arranged on the top frame 2, the output end of the second driving motor 84 is connected with a screw rod 85 rotatably arranged below the top frame 2, the other end of the screw rod 85 is rotatably connected with a support frame 86 arranged in the pool body 1; a guide rod 87 is further arranged between the top frame 2 and the support frame 86, and the guide rod 87 is symmetrically arranged with the screw rod 85; the screw rod 85 is threadedly inserted into the lifting plate 81, and the guide rod 87 is slidably inserted into the lifting plate 81; the rotating shaft 62 penetrates through the lifting plate 81 and the support frame 86, and is rotatably connected with the lifting plate 81 and the support frame 86.

[0033] The compression mechanism is mainly arranged at the position of the compression layer, the second driving motor 84 is connected with the screw rod 85 and is used to drive the screw rod 85 to rotate, under the action of the guide rod 87, the lifting plate 81 can only move up and down, and the lifting plate 81 drives the plurality of vertical plates 82 connected with the bottom to move up and down, and then drives the sieve plates 83 connected with the vertical plates 82 to move up and down. In the process of moving downward, the flocs with large particle size in the compression layer are intercepted by the sieve plates 83 and move downward together, and the moisture in the flocs can be compressed in the process, accelerating the sinking of large particles in the tailings and improving the compression rate of the tailings. When the sieve plates 83 move upward, the small particle flocs and clear liquid gathered above the sieve plates 83 mainly pass through the sieve holes, and will not affect the upward movement of the sieve plates 83, nor will it disturb the flow due to the upward movement of the sieve plates 83. After the sieve plates 83 rise to the specified position, the flocs in the compression layer continue to flocculate and settle for a period of time, and then the lifting plate 81 is lowered and raised according to the foregoing steps, and the process is repeated, thereby continuously pushing the large particle flocs downward, so as to greatly accelerate the concentration process of the tailings and improve the concentration efficiency. It should be noted that the diameter of the sieve holes on the sieve plates 83 is not limited, and can be selected by the person skilled in the art according to the actual production situation, and there can be gaps between adjacent sieve plates 83 and sieve plates 83, and the areas of the sieve plates 83 are different, and the plurality of sieve plates 83 should cover the entire cross section of the pool body 1 as a whole, so as to simultaneously compress the entire compression layer.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 Further, the rotating shaft 62 extends to the bottom of the collection tank 5, and a plurality of scattering pieces 52 are arranged on the rotating shaft 62; all the scattering pieces 52 are arranged in a spiral on the axial direction of the rotating shaft 62. The collection tank 5 mainly contains tailings with high concentration, in order to prevent the tailings from depositing and blocking in the collection tank 5, the rotating shaft 62 is extended into the collection tank 5, and the scattering pieces 52 are used for low-speed shearing and stirring, so as to accelerate the discharge rate of the tailings outlet pipe 51.

[0035] Further, one end of the stirring sheet 52 is embedded on the rotating shaft 62, and the sheet surface of the stirring sheet 52 is arranged obliquely to the axis of the rotating shaft 62. The oblique spiral stirring sheet 52 can also push and spiral convey the tailings, improve the flow speed, and effectively improve the concentration efficiency and discharge efficiency of the tailings.

[0036] As Figure 1 Further, the tailings outlet pipe 51 is provided with a unblocking nozzle 53 on the pipe wall, the unblocking nozzle 53 is connected with a flushing pump 54, and the inlet of the flushing pump 54 is connected with the overflow pipe 31. In order to prevent the tailings in the tailings outlet pipe 51 from accumulating and blocking, part of the overflow liquid can be sprayed into the pipeline through the unblocking nozzle 53 to improve the flow performance of the tailings and maintain the smoothness of the discharge.

[0037] The thickener for mineral separation of the utility model, when working, the tailings and the flocculating agent are fed into the feed bucket 4 through the feed pipe 41, are guided by the guide plate 46, enter the steady flow bucket 42 and the guide plate 43 in the tangential feeding mode, then the material moves downward along the guide of the spiral sheet 44, the flocculation of the larger particles enters the central area of the pool body 1 through the fixed bottom ring 45, and the flocculation of the fine particles diffuses uniformly to the periphery of the pool body 1 through the gap between the spiral sheets 44 and enters the pool body 1. Under the action of gravity, the flocculation of the tailings particles continuously sinks and thickens, finally gradually forms a thickening layer, a compression layer, a settling layer and a clarified layer from bottom to top in the pool body 1 of the thickener, the supernatant of the clarified layer enters the overflow tank 3 through the overflow port, and finally is sent into the wastewater treatment unit through the overflow pipe 31. The process of discharging the supernatant is efficient and stable, and the water quality of the overflow liquid is less than 300ppm.

[0038] The tailings and the flocculating agent perform gravity settling in the settling layer, and then are further compressed by the compression mechanism. The second driving motor 84 is connected with the lead screw 85 and is used for driving the lead screw 85 to rotate. Under the action of the guide rod 87, the lifting plate 81 can only move up and down, the lifting plate 81 drives the multiple vertical plates 82 connected with the bottom to move up and down, and then drives the sieve plate 83 connected with the vertical plate 82 to move up and down. In the process of moving downward, the flocculation with large particle size in the compression layer is intercepted by the sieve plate 83 and moves downward together, and the moisture in the flocculation can be compressed in the process, so that the sinking of the large particles in the tailings is accelerated. When the sieve plate 83 moves upward, the flow of the flocculation is not disturbed due to the upward movement of the sieve plate 83. After the sieve plate 83 rises to the specified position, the flocculation in the compression layer continues to flocculate and settle for a period of time, then the lifting plate 81 is lowered and raised according to the foregoing steps, and the process is repeated, so that the large particle flocculation is continuously pushed downward, thereby the concentration process of the tailings can be greatly accelerated, and the concentration efficiency is improved.

[0039] The compressed large particle flocculation formed by the sediment layer continues to sink into the thick layer, and the rake frame 71 in the thick layer drives the surrounding water and material to perform a vortex motion in the rotation of the rotating shaft 62 driven by the first driving motor 61, scrapes off the material accumulated in the thick layer and extrudes the water in the material, then pushes the thickened tailings to the middle position at the bottom of the pool body 1, and concentrates the tailings formed after thickening to the center position at the bottom of the pool body 1, and finally discharges into the collecting groove 5. At the same time, the rake frame 71 also drives the scraper 72 to rotate when rotating, which can scrape off the particles attached to the inner side wall of the pool body 1, reduce the residual solid particles in the thick layer slurry, and prevent the formation of material accumulation on the side wall of the pool body 1, thereby affecting the thickening effect of the thick layer.

[0040] The high-concentration tailings formed are concentrated in the collecting groove 5, and the rotating shaft 62 also extends into the collecting groove 5, and the stirring pieces 52 thereon perform low-speed shearing and stirring on the tailings, while pushing and spirally conveying the tailings, improving the flow speed of the tailings, and effectively improving the concentration efficiency and discharge efficiency of the tailings. After the tailings enter the tailings outlet pipe 51, part of the overflow liquid can be periodically sprayed into the pipeline through the unblocking nozzle 53 to improve the flow performance of the tailings and maintain the smoothness of the discharge, and the tailings with a concentration of about 70% are finally discharged into the tailings treatment unit.

In addition, the parts not involved in the device are the same as or can be realized by using the prior art.
