The invention discloses a method and a device for reinforcing an oil
bubble column floatation process of low-order
coal, and belongs to floatation methods and floatation devices for the low-order
coal. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a surfactant into a
hydrocarbon oil collecting agent proportionally; (2) atomizing
hydrocarbon oil mixed with the surfactant into oily mist beads in an atomizer by using air flow provided by an
air compressor; (3) heating the air flow of the oily mist beads in a tubular
temperature control evaporator until the temperature reaches
hydrocarbon oil
evaporation temperature to form oil
evaporation gas; (4) mixing the heated oil
evaporation gas with air, feeding the mixture into a bubble generator, and forming modified oil bubbles by wrapping bubbles with thin surfactant-modified hydrocarbon oil
layers under the jet action of the bubble generator; (5) pre-
wetting and uniformly mixing the low-order
coal in a stirring
barrel, and pumping the low-order coal into a floatation column; (6) in the floatation column, mineralizing the modified oil bubbles and low-order coal particles, carrying
clean coal to float up by using the modified oil bubbles as carriers, and keeping
tailings and high-ash fine
silt which are not mineralized in the column to obtain the
clean coal and the
tailings. The method and the device have the advantages that the consumption of the hydrocarbon oil collecting agent is reduced; the floatation selectivity and the
recovery rate of the low-order coal are improved.
