The Slurry Line

Slurry pumps are important being the energy source in all hydraulic systems for slurry handling. However, the slurry pumps are mainly just energy converters in the systems (converting electric energy to hydraulic flows). Equally important is to design “the slurry line” with the correct sizing of hoses (or pipes) including
• Hose lay-out geometry (vertical and horizontal) needed for the transportation job
• Hose material giving resistance to the wear and to the chemical environment

• Hose diameter enabling maximum efficiency of the slurry system

Hoses are for slurry handling what conveyor belts are for dry materials handling. Simple products – which just have to maintain their functions. Otherwise the process flow will be interrupted and the up-time is gone.
There is just one rule for lay-outs of slurry hoses and pipes, but a golden one.
“ Never use sharp bends when connecting them hydraulically! ”
• Every slurry handling system needs proper hosing.
• Carrying velocity in the hose must exceed the settling velocity.
• Too high carrying velocity means increased power and wear.
• To balance the optimum slurry speed with the correct hose diameter is important.

METALLURGICAL EFFICIENCY

图片
One of the most important and basic concepts in beneficiation plant is metallurgical efficiency. Two  terms are commonly used to describe the efficiency of metallurgical processes: recovery and grade . These phenomena are illustrated in the generalized process presented in Figure 1. In above example, 100 tph of ore are being fed into a concentration operation that produces 4.5 tph of concentrate and 95.5 tph of tailings. In upgrading this process, then, 1.0 tph of the desired material, A, is introduced into the unit operation and 0.9 tph (4.5 × 0.2) of this material reports to the concentrate, resulting in 90% recovery (0.9/1.0 × 100). The grade of the mineral, A, has been improved from 1% to 20%. The term percent recovery refers to the percentage of the valuable material reporting to the concentrate with reference to the amount of this material in the feed. Note that obtaining the highest possible recovery is not necessarily the best approach in a concentration process. High...

Mineral processing unit operation and examples

图片
UNIT OPERATIONS In mineralprocessing plant , Numerous steps, called unit operations, are involved in achieving the goal of extracting minerals and metals from ores in their purest possible form. These steps include Size reduction . The process of crushing and grinding ores is known as comminution. The purpose of the comminution process is threefold: (1) to liberate valuable minerals from the ore matrix, (2) to increase surface area for high reactivity, and (3) to facilitate the transport of ore particles between unit operations. Size separation. Crushed and ground products generally require classification by particle size. Sizing can be accomplished by using classifiers, screens, or water elutriators. Screens are used for coarse particulate sizing; cyclones are used with fine particulates. Concentration . Physicochemical properties of minerals and other solids are used in concentration operations. Froth flotation, gravity concentration, and magnetic and electrostatic co...
