Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnesia flotation technology, specifically to an aerated stirring device for magnesia flotation mud. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesia (MgCO3) flotation is an important industrial mineral separation process, mainly used to extract high-purity magnesium ores (magnesite, dolomite, etc.). Aerated and stirred flotation machines, due to their high mineralization capacity and stable froth layer control, have become the core equipment for magnesia flotation. External aeration is a common method to improve flotation efficiency in magnesia mud flotation. However, the aeration process cannot reach the interior of the mud, resulting in insufficient air content within the mud. This makes the separation process between the mud and magnesia difficult and may lead to uneven gas distribution within the mud, affecting the uniform agitation during flotation and thus impacting the flotation effect. Ensuring that the aeration process reaches the interior of the mud is crucial for improving the efficiency of magnesia mud flotation. Therefore, we propose an aerated and stirred flotation mud aeration device for magnesia flotation. Utility Model Content

[0020] A drug inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the air inlet pipe 10.
[0021] Working principle: During the flotation of magnesia, the magnesia ore is ground to 0.074-0.15 mm (200-100 mesh) using a ball mill to ensure monomer dissociation. Then, an adjuster such as NaOH is added to adjust the pH, along with an inhibitor and collector, specifically water glass and oleic acid. The mixture is stirred for 5-10 minutes to ensure full adsorption of the reagents. The mixture is then poured into mud tank 1. An air inlet pipe 10 is inserted into the main shaft 3, which is positioned inside the mud tank 1 via a positioning structure 2. A rotating block 24 is fixed to the upper part of the outer wall of the main shaft 3. A bearing 23 is fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating block 24, and a sleeve block 22 is fitted onto the outer wall of the bearing 23. The sleeve block 22 is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the mud tank 1 by a support rod 21. The main shaft 3 is hollow, and air is introduced simultaneously. The diameter of pipe 10 is smaller than that of the main shaft 3 to avoid scratching the inner wall of the main shaft 3 after installation. One end of the air inlet pipe 10 is provided with a flange hole, and a portion is bent and extended to ensure that the rotation process is not affected when connected to the exhaust equipment. The side wall of the air inlet pipe 10 is fixed to the surface of the mud tank 1 by a bracket 11 and bolts. A chemical inlet pipe 16 is provided on the other side of the air inlet pipe 10. The chemical inlet pipe 16 facilitates the addition of chemicals during stirring. The air inlet pipe 10 leads directly to the bottom of the mud tank 1. A round block 12 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the air inlet pipe 10. The round block 12 can fit with the round groove block 14 at the bottom of the mud tank 1, and a ball bearing 13 is provided inside to provide... To ensure smooth rotation, the circular groove block 14 is fixed by the second side rod 15. A rotor 19 is fixed to the outside of the bottom of the main shaft 3, and a stator 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotor 19 with a clearance fit. The stator 8 is fixed by the first side rod 9. A first pulley 4 is provided at the top of the main shaft 3. The first pulley 4 and the second pulley 6 are connected by a belt 5. The second pulley 6 is driven by a servo motor 7, which is fixed to the outside of the mud tank 1. Through the transmission of the overall structure, the rotor 19 rotates at high speed, forming strong turbulence, which fully mixes the slurry and reagents. The shear force breaks the air into microbubbles. To improve mineralization efficiency, compressed air is injected through the hollow main shaft 3 and air inlet pipe 10 to supplement the amount of bubbles, ensuring uniform bubble distribution. The hydrophobic magnesia particles adsorb the collector on their surface and collide with the bubbles to form a three-phase contact angle, adhering to the bubble surface. Gangue minerals, due to their hydrophilicity, cannot adhere and remain in the slurry. The mineralized bubbles float to the liquid surface, forming a stable foam layer. Then, the magnesia-enriched concentrate foam is scraped out and discharged through the opening on one side of the mud tank 1. Then, valve 18 is opened to open the drain pipe 17, through which the hydrophilic gangue minerals are discharged from the bottom of the mud tank 1. The discharged material is tailings, which can be used for other processing.
