[0002] In the mining process, tailings treatment is a crucial step. To accelerate the settling of suspended solids in tailings, flocculants are typically added. However, traditional flocculant dosing devices suffer from several problems. For example, the dosage is difficult to control precisely, leading to poor flocculation, wasting flocculants, and affecting subsequent tailings treatment processes. Some devices also exhibit uneven mixing of the flocculant and tailings slurry, resulting in incomplete flocculation. Furthermore, some existing devices are prone to clogging after prolonged operation, making maintenance difficult and severely impacting the efficiency and continuity of mine tailings treatment. Therefore, this paper presents a flocculant dosing device for mine tailings treatment. Utility Model Content
