Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mineral processing technology, specifically to a stripping system for oxide mineral surface agents based on ultrasonic assistance. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of mineral resource development, low-grade ores contain enormous economic value, but due to their high processing difficulty and low grade, they have never been effectively developed. In particular, after processing mixed concentrates using oxygen-sulfur separation processes, the surface of oxidized ores is often tightly coated with flotation reagents. This characteristic brings many challenges to the subsequent leaching process.
[0003] In the leaching process of zinc oxide concentrate slurry with direct mechanical stirring, the generation of viscous bubbles becomes an unavoidable problem due to the presence of flotation reagents on the oxide ore surface. These viscous bubbles not only reduce the utilization rate of the leaching tank and affect the leaching efficiency, but also bring additional difficulties to the subsequent treatment of the leachate.
[0004] More seriously, the total organic carbon (TOC) levels in the leachate often exceed the standard. Excessive TOC not only indicates the presence of excessive organic impurities in the leachate, but these impurities also undergo complex chemical reactions with zinc ions during electrolysis, resulting in a rough surface on the zinc sheets and affecting their quality. Furthermore, these organic impurities increase the difficulty of zinc sheet peeling, further reducing electrolysis efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, how to effectively solve the problem of flotation reagent coating on the surface of oxide ores, reduce the generation of viscous bubbles during the leaching process, and reduce the TOC content in the leachate has become an urgent technical challenge to be solved in the development of low-grade oxygen-sulfur mixed lead-zinc ore resources. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides an ultrasonic-assisted stripping system for oxide mineral surface agents to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0008] An ultrasonic-assisted stripping system for oxide mineral surface agents includes a slurry preparation tank, an ultrasonic reaction tank, and a high-speed stirring reaction tank. Each of the slurry preparation tank, ultrasonic reaction tank, and high-speed stirring reaction tank has a feed inlet and a discharge outlet. The discharge outlet of the slurry preparation tank is connected to the feed inlet of the ultrasonic reaction tank through a transmission pipe, and the discharge outlet of the ultrasonic reaction tank is connected to the feed inlet of the high-speed stirring reaction tank through a transmission pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the system also includes a plate and frame filter press, which has an inlet II, a solid outlet, and a liquid outlet. The outlet of the high-speed stirring reaction tank is connected to the inlet II of the plate and frame filter press, and the liquid outlet is connected to the inlet I of the slurry mixing tank via a transmission pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the mixing tank is equipped with a stirrer I.
[0011] Preferably, a stirrer II is installed inside the ultrasonic reaction tank, and at least two ultrasonic devices are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the ultrasonic reaction tank.
[0012] Preferably, the high-speed stirring reaction tank is equipped with a stirrer III.
[0013] Preferably, control valves are provided at the discharge ports of the slurry mixing tank, the ultrasonic reaction tank, and the high-speed stirring reaction tank.
[0014] Preferably, the slurry concentration in the slurry mixing tank is around 30%.
[0015] Preferably, in the ultrasonic reaction tank, the ultrasonic power is between 1000-1200 W, the ultrasonic time is between 1-2 h, and the stirring speed is between 400 r / min and 600 r / min.
[0016] Preferably, in the high-speed stirring reaction tank, the high-speed stirring speed is between 1200 r / min and 1400 r / min, and the stirring time is between 0.5 h and 1 h.
[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) With the assistance of ultrasound, the cavitation and thermal effects caused by ultrasound can help the agent to peel off the surface of zinc oxide concentrate. At the same time, it can reduce the interfacial tension and film strength of the agent, so that it can be peeled off from the surface of zinc oxide concentrate. The subsequent high-speed stirring stage reduces the aggregation of the agent into larger droplets, which prevents it from re-attaching to the surface of zinc oxide concentrate. This improves the contact efficiency and peeling effect between the agent and the surface of the oxide ore, thereby improving the peeling quality of the oxide ore and the utilization rate of the agent. Each reaction tank is equipped with a stirrer to ensure uniform mixing and reaction of the slurry and improve the processing efficiency of the system.
[0019] (2) By setting up a plate and frame filter press and its liquid outlet, the recycling of reagents is realized, production costs are reduced, and environmental pollution is reduced.
[0020] (3) The setting of control valves makes the operation of the system more flexible and controllable, and makes it easier to adjust and optimize according to actual needs. Attached Figure Description
