浮选柱泡沫层检测控制系统的研究

针对浮选柱泡沫层检测控制系统的2种方式加以阐述。液位和气含率都是影响矿物浮选指标的因素。液位控制简单直接,但不精确;气含率控制更具体,但成本高于液位控制。利用压差法检测浮选柱气含率进行煤泥浮选试验,并研究循环压力、进气量和起泡剂浓度对气含率的影响以及气含率对煤泥浮选效果的影响。结果表明,起泡剂浓度对气含率的影响最大,进气量次之,循环压力最小。在一定范围内,随着气含率的增大,精煤产率增大,精煤的灰分也随之增大;随着循环压力增大,精煤产率增大,但精煤灰分有所下降。     

浮选柱气含率及其影响因素对煤泥分选的研究

利用压差法检测浮选柱气含率,通过正交设计和煤泥浮选实验,研究循环压力、进气量和起泡剂浓度对气含率的影响以及气含率对煤泥浮选效果的影响.结果表明,起泡剂浓度对气含率的影响最大,进气量次之,循环压力最小.在一定范围内,随着气含率的增大,精煤产率增大,精煤的灰分也随之增大,精煤质量下降.当气含率为24.17%时,精煤产率为87.35%,精煤灰分为10.02%.随着循环压力增大,精煤产率增大,但精煤灰分有所下降.分析指出气含率大小可作为调节浮选柱矿物分选指标的一个参考标准.     

旋流喷射浮选柱气含率影响因素研究

浮选柱气含率大小是决定浮选效果的一个很重要的因素。研究了清水且不加起泡剂的条件下旋流喷射浮选柱中静压力大小、流体流量和充气量对气含率的影响以及挡板添加时气含率的变化情况。结果表明：气含率随着流体静压力、流体流量以及充气量的增加而增大,并且流体流量的影响最大,静压力的影响最小。在添加挡板的情况下,气含率随着挡板高度的增加以及离矿浆喷射端口距离的增加而增大,要得到合适的气含率,所加挡板的高度应高于柱体总高度的2/10,同时挡板离喷射端口的距离应控制在柱体长度的5/10和7/10之间。     

浮选柱气含率影响因素及其回归模型研究

采用压差法测定了旋流-静态微泡浮选柱内部的气含率,分别通过单因素和正交试验研究了循环压力、进气量和起泡剂浓度3个因素对气含率的影响。在此基础上采用多元回归分析方法建立了试验条件下气含率与3个因素之间的回归模型。结果表明:气含率随进气量和起泡剂浓度的增大而增大;进气量不固定时,气含率随循环压力的增加而增大;进气量固定时,随循环压力的增加而逐渐减小。3个因素对气含率的影响从小到大依次为循环压力、进气量、起泡剂浓度。回归模型计算值与实测值之间误差较小,其达到了较高的计算精度。     

充气量和循环量对浮选柱气含率的影响研究

 浮选柱气含率的大小是影响浮选柱精矿回收能力和实际分选效果的重要参数之一。本文探讨了充气量和循环量对浮选柱平均气含率和轴向气含率的影响。结果表明：在相同循环量情况下,浮选柱内平均气含率随充气量增加而增加;在相同充气量情况下,浮选柱平均气含率随循环量增加而减小;在较小循环量和较小充气量的情况下,轴向气含率呈现底部大于顶部;在较大循环量和较大充气量的情况下,轴向气含率呈现底部小于顶部。     

浮选柱气含率的影响因素研究进展

气含率是影响浮选柱浮选性能的重要因素,受设备结构和操作参数两类因素的影响。分析了柱体长径比、水平和竖直挡板的数量和结构、充气器的结构等设备结构因素、充气和给矿速率、固体颗粒和起泡剂的类型及浓度等因素对气含率的影响规律,指出优化设备结构使气含率处于对矿物浮选最有利的范围,可提高矿物浮选指标。实际生产应用中一般通过调节充气速率、给矿流速和起泡剂的类型及用量,以获得最佳的气含率,同时指明提高气含率是今后浮选柱的一个研究方向。     

浮选气泡测量及其影响因素分析

针对浮选槽中含气率高、气泡重叠、变形,以及不断发生气泡兼并与破裂的情况,建立了一套浮选气泡测量系统,详细介绍了其原理及测量方法,并在2L XDF机械搅拌式浮选机上,分析了起泡剂用量和充气量对气泡粒度的影响规律。结果表明:使用该系统能够成功测量浮选槽中的气泡直径;气泡最小直径在充气量0.1m3/h,起泡剂用量12.5μL/L条件下测得,为0.32mm;气泡直径受充气量和起泡剂用量的综合影响,仲辛醇作为起泡剂的临界用量为12.5μL/L。     

浮选柱选用适宜起泡剂的试验研究

气含率在旋流-静态微泡浮选柱分选过程中起到很重要的作用,而起泡剂是影响气含率的关键因素。通过对730系列起泡剂在浮选柱应用中的气含率研究以及结合云南大红山铜矿的选矿实践,比较5种起泡剂的性能指标,综合精矿品位和回收率得出730C更适配于旋流-静态微泡浮选柱。

Study of gas holdup and pressure characteristics in a column flotation cell using coal

Present work has been carried out to observe the effect of process variables (gas flow rate, feed flow rate, solid concentration and frother concentration) on gas holdup and pressure characteristics in flotation column using coal. Gas holdup has been estimated using phase separation method while piezometers have been used to obtain column’s axial pressure profile. It was observed that gas holdup in collection zone was affected by both air as well as feed flow rates. Up to 6% change in gas holdup may occur when the feed flow rate changes from 1–2 cm/s. It was also observed that addition of coal decreased the gas holdup while addition of methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) had opposite effect. Almost linear variation in columns axial pressure characteristics has been observed with gas flow rate. An empirical relationship between gas holdup in the flotation column with column’s axial pressure difference was developed.     

Frother persistence: A measure using gas holdup

Persistence here refers to the how long a frother remains effective in producing small bubbles, one of its prime functions in flotation. One way to evaluate is to track gas holdup over time while air is sparged into a column: if frother is depleted bubble size will start to increase consequently increasing bubble rise velocity and hence decreasing gas holdup. Persistence of nine frothers was evaluated in this manner. Polyglycol frothers exhibited high persistence with gas holdup virtually constant over 50 h compared with alcohol frothers. The alcohols divided into two groups, one showing steady decline in gas holdup, e.g., 1-hexanol, and a second group exhibiting a sharp decline at a given time, e.g., MIBC. Tests on MIBC showed increasing concentration extended persistence while increasing gas velocity and increasing bubble size decreased persistence. The decrease in gas holdup was related directly to measured decrease in frother concentration. It appears that the transport of frother to and through the froth and from froth to atmosphere needs to be considered.     

Impact of talc on pulp and froth properties in F150 and 1-pentanol frother systems

The role of frother controlling bubble size and froth properties is reasonably well understood in the air–water system. A concern is how well this relates to the three-phase flotation condition. As a model hydrophobic solid talc was used. A column was run at fixed froth depth and air rate with overflow and underflow recycled. Four frothers were examined, two polyglycols, polypropylene glycol (F150), polypropylene methyl ether (DF250), and two alcohols, 1-heptanol and 1-pentanol. At steady state, pulp zone gas holdup and bubble size were measured along with water and solids overflow rate as a function of talc addition. For 1-heptanol and DF250 there was no impact of talc on bubble size or gas holdup. For 1-pentanol the presence of talc had no effect on bubble size but gas holdup increased; in contrast, for F150 addition of talc increased bubble size and decreased gas holdup. There was a reversal in water overflow rate between the F150 and 1-pentanol on adding talc, the 5:1 ratio in favour of F150 in air–water becoming 3:1 in favour of 1-pentanol at 5 wt% talc. The solids overflow rate likewise favoured 1-pentanol in presence of talc.The increase in bubble size in the talc/F150 system implies coalescence, as further evidenced by the bubble size distribution becoming bi-modal. The mechanism proposed was a combination of talc adsorbing frother from solution, demonstrated by TOC analysis of residual frother, and directly from the bubble surface due to the orientation of adsorbed F150. In the talc/pentanol case the increase in gas holdup was attributed to bubbles not being at terminal velocity and attached talc particles increasing deceleration, i.e., slowing bubble rise. The increase in water overflow rate in the talc/pentanol system corresponds to increased froth stability imparted by hydrophobic solids. Froth stabilization by talc with F150, however, is offset by the increased bubble size that means less water is carried into the froth. The reversal in water overflow ranking of the frothers can, therefore, be interpreted as due to frother/solid interactions. Similar interactions may account for reversals noted in other systems.     

一种电导法测量浮选柱气含率的可行性探究

浮选柱中气含率的大小是参考浮选柱内流态,影响实际分选效果的重要参数之一。以麦克斯维尔模型为原理,提出了用电导法测量气含率,简单方便又不失准确。分别用压差法以及自行设计的电导传感器测量了没有介质的浮选柱在不同表观气速下不同位置的气含率,并进行比较,结果表明,电导法的测量值与压差法极接近,浮选柱气含率的变化趋势也符合规律,是可行的。     

射流浮选柱内纵向气泡均匀性的试验研究

在实验室射流浮选柱上进行了纵向气泡分布规律影响因素的试验.利用自制充气量测试仪测定浮选槽内不同深度的充气量,以样本均值和样本变异系数为指标,研究了射流器给料压力、喉管直径、喷嘴直径对浮选槽内充气量及纵向气泡分布均匀性的影响.结果表明：在试验范围内,压力越高,喉管越细,浮选槽内充气量越大,纵向气泡均匀性越好;当压力一定时,大喷嘴气泡均匀性明显好于小喷嘴.通过流体力学初步分析,解释了基本试验现象.     

Effect of frothers and dodecylamine on bubble size and gas holdup in a downflow column

Bubble size and gas holdup were characterized in a two phase gas–water system in a laboratory downflow column. The effect of the cationic surfactant dodecyl amine (MW 185, HLB 10.7) and the frothers MIBC (MW 102, HLB 6.05) and polyglycol F507 (MW 425, HLB 8.63) on the bubble size and gas holdup were investigated. In addition, the effect of blends of MIBC-dodecyl amine (DDA) and F507-DDA on these parameters was assessed. The bubble Critical Coalescence Concentration (CCC) followed the order MIBC > DDA > F507. When blending the frothers with DDA at a concentration below its CCC, the frother CCC decreased and bubbles of finer size were obtained below and above the frother CCC. Static surface tension measurements of aqueous solutions with frothers and DDA as well as with frothers-DDA blends show coadsorption of DDA at the air/aqueous solution interface. The surface tension of aqueous solutions prepared with the blends decreased with the addition of DDA and varied linearly with the frother concentration within the concentration range studied. The gas holdup in the downflow column was determined by the bubble size and decreased with the bubble size. It is shown that frother-DDA blends gave the lowest gas holdup in the downflow column. This work is relevant for the reverse flotation of quartz from iron ores using amine collectors in cells with downflow systems.     

煤泥柱浮选的承载能力与气含率轴向分布

为优化柱浮选设备的处理能力和分选效果,采用压差法测定柱体内部的气含率,同时通过调整入料浓度和流速,分析煤泥柱浮选承载能力和气含率轴向分布的变化规律,并探索两者之间的内在联系及对煤泥分选效果的影响。结果表明：入料流速小于临界流速时,气含率在轴向上从底部到顶部依次增大;流速达到临界流速或以上时,气含率轴向分布发生逆变;临界流速随入料浓度的升高逐渐减小。承载能力随入料流速的增大先增大后减小,拐点为气含率轴向分布逆变的临界流速;一定范围内浓度的升高有利于提高承载能力和可燃体回收率。建立了煤泥柱浮选的承载能力预测模型,线性拟合的相关系数R 2=0.873,达到了较高的预测精度。
