Description
Description DEVICE FOR EMULSIFICATION AND CONTROLLED ADDITION OF
FLOTATION AGENT
I Technical Field The present invention relates to a device for emulsification and controlled addition of flotation agent, in particular to a device for emulsification and controlled addition of flotation agent applicable to the coal dressing field.
II Background Art Flotation is to separate useful minerals from useless minerals on the basis of differences in surface properties between the minerals under the action of an agent.
Factors that have influence on the flotation process mainly include the amount of pulp, pulp density, size composition, regime of agent, etc. The flotation process is difficult to control owing to a large number of influencing factors. As detection techniques, control techniques, and actuators are developed rapidly in recent years, automatic flotation control techniques have also been innovated and developed.
Coal dressing plants usually use a flotation method to separate 0.5-Omm coal slime. In coking coal dressing plants and anthracite coal dressing plants, coal slime accounts for 20%-30% of the total quantity of raw coal fed for washing. In the flotation process, the product indicators are controlled by adjusting the regime of agent solely based on the production experience of the workers without any theoretical guidance and criterion. The manual adjustment approach is not accurate and timely and has direct influence on the economic benefit of coal dressing plants. To overcome the blindness of manual agent addition and hysteresis of flotation indicator control, domestic and foreign researchers have made researches on flotation process optimization to improve automation of the flotation process. In view of the complexity of flotation process control, many researchers have made researches on flotation process control from different aspects.
Manual addition of agent: the agent is added at the agent addition points manually according to the product quality, and the dosage is controlled on the basis of the valve opening degree. A main problem involved in manual addition of agent is that the addition is interfered by human factors.
Quantitative addition of agent: the agent is directly added to the agent addition points with a metering pump. This method can effectively perform statistics on the agent consumption and achieve accurate addition at the addition points, but has a problem that the amount of added agent doesn't vary with the pulp flow and concentration fluctuation, and thereby results in waste of the agent.
Quantitative addition of emulsified agent: the agent is emulsified in a certain quantity and then is directly added to the addition points. The amount of agent at the addition points relies on manual control. This method can accurately control the total quantity of the added agent, and can attain a purpose of saving the agent by means of =
