[0032] Detailed Description Of Preferred Embodiments
[0033] In order to clarify the objectives, technical scheme and advantages of the invention, the invention is further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only to explain the invention and are not to define the invention.
[0034] In order to solve the technical problems of the uneven or not added, the invention provides a CCD countercurrent washing flocculant uniform feeding system, can realize the flocculant with kinetic energy impact injection, is conducive to and the internal material mixing, and multipoint to add flocculant , with proportional control, make the flocculant to promote material flocculation.
[0035] It should be noted that the CCD countercurrent washing flocculant uniform feeding system described in the present invention is used for but not limited to wet smelting nickel production process, for the convenience of explanation, the CCD countercurrent washing flocculant uniform feeding system, and the CCD countercurrent washing flocculant uniform feeding system applied in other industrial production is the same.
[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, a structural diagram of the CCD countercurrent washing flocculant uniform feeding system in an embodiment of the present invention, the CCD countercurrent washing flocculant uni form feeding system includes a settlement tank 1 , a forced dilution pump 2 , a flocculant head 3 , and a secondary flocculant tube 4 . Steady flow cylinder 101 is installed on the settlement tank 1 , The settlement groove 1 is provided with a feed channel 102 extending into the steady flow tube 101 ; The outlet of the forced dilution pump 2 is provided on the feed channel 102 , For inj ecting the diluent into the feed channel 102 , Mixing with the material ; The flocculant head 3 is embedded between the outlet of the forced dilution pump 2 and the feed channel 102 ; The number of secondary flocculant tubes 4 is multiple , The plurality of the secondary flocculant tubes 4 is arranged along the inner circle of the steady flow cylinder 101 , With the flocculant manager 3 , The starting position is the insertion between the outlet of the forced dilution pump 2 and the feed channel 102 , Flocculant inj ection mode around the uni form distribution point in the entire steady flow tube 101 , The addition of flocculant , With proportional control , Make the flocculant better promote the material flocculation, And the flocculant inj ection flow of the flocculant head 3 and the secondary flocculant tube 4 matches its inner diameter, Below the inj ection level for flocculants with kinetic impact , Inj ection of flocculants with kinetic energy shocks , Favfor mixing with internal materials . understandable , The amount of diluted flocculant at each addition point is added by estimthe opening of the adj ustment valve , Without accurate data, And the original added point flocculant pipeline is designed as DN80 pipeline , Rough pipeline , Due to the small amount of flocculant added, Valve opening adj ustment is very di f ficult to control , In the actual production process , flocculant is often uneven or not added, For a more accurate quanti fication, Scale the inner diameter of each flocculer, Combined with the inj ection flow of the flocculant , Under the matching of the pipe inner diameter and the flocculant inj ection flow rate , Due to the reduced tube diameter, Flow is unchanged, Will thus prompt increase the inj ection flow rate of flocculant , Thus forming a kinetic energy shock, The inj ection of kinetic energy shocks , Ability to impact the flocculant into the material interior, Mixing with the internal material , It avoids the problem that the slower flow rate of the coarse flocculant can only mix with the surface material of the feed pipe .
[0037] In one embodiment , refer to FIG . 3 , the flocculant head 3 and the secondary flocculant tube 4 are a DN40 pipe or DN50 pipe for flocculant inj ection matched to a smaller flow, the flocculant head
[0038] 3 and the secondary flocculant tube 4 are connected with the flocculant supply bin 402 through the screw pump 401 , pumping the flocculant to the corresponding flocculant inj ection through the flocculant tube with the flow meter 403 and the secondary flocculant tube 4 to facilitate the control of the flow meter 403 .
[0039] It is understandable that each adding point of flocculant is changed to DN40 or DN50 pipe , reducing the inner diameter of the pipe, and the flocculant pipe provided by the flocculant by the screw pump is conducive to mixing with the internal material , otherwise the flow rate of the coarse flocculant can only be mixed with the surface material of the feed pipe ; and the flowmeter 403 can add flocculant in proportion .
[0040] Further, the flocculant head 3 and secondary flocculant tube 4 embedded attitude are vertical shape , when inj ecting f locculant , the material fluid disturbance , under the disturbance , flocculant and the material fully mixed, i f add point pipe tilt , along the rotation direction of the material he will reduce uneven mixing, therefore , the inj ection tube is vertical attitude , avoid the tilt of disturbance , with the feed flow rate and flocculant impact flow rate mixing, also avoid excessive disturbance flocculant particles broken .
[0041] In one embodiment , refer to FIGS . 1 , 2 and 3 , the quantity of the head of the ant 3 is embedded and inserted into the outlet of the forced dilution pump 2 at the intersection of the feed channel 102 and the steady flow tube 101 for the overflow flow in the steady flow tube 101 in a three-point approach starting from the bottom flow of the outlet in the center tube , mainly for single channel P-DUK .
[0042] Further, the number of the secondary flocculant tubes 4 is two , one of the flocculant head 3 and the two secondary flocculant tubes
[0043] 4 are triangular in the inner circle of the steady flow tube 101 , i . e . , three inj ection points of the three-point mode for flocculant inj ection . Further, One flocculant head 3 and two secondary flocculant tubes 4 insert deep below the liquid level , Starting with the flocculant supervisor 3 , The step-down decrease , Since the material starts flocculation and settling after the addition of the flocculant supervisor 3 , The incoming thrust material rotates in the steady current cylinder 101 , The large particles after flocculation, After flocculation, the relatively small particles continue to rotate with the thrust in the steady cylinder 101 , The sinking of the heavy particles during the rotation gives the material a buoyancy up, When fine particles when gravity is less than buoyancy, At the second point , a secondary flocculant tube 4 is further added with the flocculant mixed flocculation, Flocculation o f fine particles increases the gravity subsidence , Finally, at the third j oining point , With another secondary flocculant tube 4 to flocculation the remaining very fine particles again to increase gravity subsidence , To improve the flocculant mixing ef fect , Reduce the flocculant consumption .
[0044] Speci fically, the insertion depth of the flocculator head 3 from the upper edge of the feed channel 102 is about 15cm, the insertion depth of the secondary flocculator tube 4 is about 10cm higher than the insertion depth of the flocculator head 3 , and the insertion depth of the secondary flocculator tube 4 is about 5cm higher than the insertion depth of the flocculator head 3 .
[0045] In one embodiment , refer to FIGS . 4 and 5 , the number of the feed channel 102 is two and the flocculant head 3 is embedded in the forced dilution pump 2 outlet and located within the feed channel 102 for inj ecting flocculant at the material mix between the forced dilution pump 2 outlet and the feed channel 102 for dual channel P-DUK .
[0046] Further, the number of the secondary flocculant tube 4 is five , five of the secondary flocculant tube 4 are distributed in the steady flow tube 101 , two are two forced dilution pump 2 outlet and material mixing, namely two flocculant head 3 , and the other five are five secondary flocculant tubes 4 .
[0047] Wherein, the five secondary flocculant tubes 4 are 60 ° apart in the inner circle distribution of the steady flow cylinder 101 and add a multi-point layout to better mix the material with the material .
[0048] Further, starting with the flocculant addition ratio of the two flocculant executives 3 and five of the secondary flocculant tubes 4 , gradually reduce the multi-point layout to make the material mix with the material better, and the adding ratio is gradually reduced to ef fectively add the flocculant according to the data proportion .
[0049] Understandably, the reduction of the addition ratio , according to the ratio of material grain si ze , there are 200 , 120 , 80 , and 20 items under the grain si ze of the ore pulp . For the 80 mesh sieve under the main treatment , according to the increase of the chain after mixing, the sel f-gravity increases , the subsequent material gradually settles in the rotation process , the remaining material is relatively gradually reduced, and the flocculation amount needs to be reduced, so the amount of flocculant added gradually decreases , and the reduction proportion is determined according to the particle si ze ratio of the material .
[0050] For a better understanding of the present invention, The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail with FIGS . 1 to 5 : in single channel P-DUK, Using a three-point approach, A feed channel 102 , a forced dilution pump 2 , a flocculant head 3 , and two secondary flocculant tubes 4 , One flocculant chief 3 and two secondary flocculant tubes 4 , I s distributed in the steady flow cylinder 101 , And the flocculant head 3 is located at the overflow mixture between the outlet bottom flow of the forced dilution pump 2 and the steady flow cylinder 101 ; In the-channel P-DUK, Using the seven-point addition approach, With two feeding channels 102 , two forced dilution pumps 2 , two flocculant head 3 , and five secondary flocculant tubes 4 , Add two points are two forced dilution pump 2 outlet and material mixing, Ininsert a flocculator supervisor 3 , The other five points are respectively evenly distributed according to about 60 ° angles , With a secondary flocculant tube 4 , The added proportion will be gradually reduced .
[0051] The speci fic embodiment of the present invention described above does not constitute a limitation of the protection scope of the present invention . Any other corresponding changes and deformation according to the technical idea of the invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the invention .
