摘要: A method for stabilising a froth or a foam comprising subjecting the froth or foam to vibrations or sound waves having a frequency of less than 20 kHz. The frequency may be less than 1 kHz, for example, a frequency of from 300 Hz to 500 Hz, or from 300 to 450 Hz, or from 300 to 400 Hz. A method for froth flotation is also described.

摘要: A separation system is disclosed for separating selected particles from a mixture of particles in a fluid. The system includes a froth flotation vessel into which in use the mixture of particles and fluid are subjected to an upward flow of an introduced gas to form a froth layer which rises above an interface formed between the froth layer and the mixture of particles and fluid, such that a quantity of the selected particles is conveyed out of the vessel by the froth layer to become a first product of the system. The vessel also has a first outlet arranged in use for receiving a flow of some of the mixture of particles and fluid from the vessel, an entry to the first outlet being located in a region proximate to, but below, the interface. The vessel also has a second outlet arranged in use for receiving a flow of some of the mixture of particles and fluid from a region of the vessel which is located below the first outlet. In use the first outlet receives a quantity of the selected particles which were not conveyed out of the vessel by the froth layer, and the second outlet receives a quantity of the selected particles in a first by-product of the system. The first by-product comprises a relatively higher percentage of solids compared to the flow of particles and fluid in the first outlet. The flow of the mixture of particles and fluid from the vessel via the first outlet passes to a classification device, which separates the flow into two or more fractions on the basis of their size or density or a combination of the two.

摘要: Apparatus uses engineered collection media to recover mineral particles in a mineral extraction process, e.g., for processing a tailings stream at the end of a flotation separation process. The engineered collection media are added to slurry/tailings containing the mineral particles. The engineered collection media have collection surfaces coated with a chemical selected for attracting the mineral particles to the collection surfaces so the engineered collection media becomes mineral laden media in the slurry/tailings in a loading stage. The apparatus include three stages: removing unwanted material from mineral laden media; using a stripping agent to strip the mineral particles from the mineral laden media; and separating the engineered collection media from the mineral particles and the stripping agent. The stripping agent is reused for stripping, and the engineered collection media are returned to the loading stage. The engineered collection media can have a smooth or foam-like surface.

摘要: This proposed invention consists of a process for elaborating a depressant agent, which includes, by weight percentage, dissolving 1-40% humic acid, or humic acid derivatives, in 50-99% water at a temperature between 15-30° C. and solubilizing it by adding 0-10% potassium hydroxide; the temperature will rise due to the solvation of potassium hydroxide (30-45° C.); leaving to react and homogenize for 20-60 minutes; causing the latter product to react with 0.1-15% of fulvic acid to generate a product that controls zinc and iron during flotation. The purpose of this invention is to fully replace zinc sulfate, reducing the dosage of the replacement depressant agent by up to 20 times less, furthermore reducing the amount of CuSO4 used in the flotation process, among other improvements.

摘要: Apparatus uses engineered collection media to recover mineral particles in a slurry. The apparatus has a tumbler cell and a rotation device to rotate the tumbler cell. The tumbler cell has a container to hold a mixture of the engineered media and the slurry containing the mineral particles. The container is turned such that at least part of the mixture in the upper part of the container is caused to interact with at least part of the mixture in the lower part of the container. As such, the contact between the engineered media and the mineral particles is enhanced. The surfaces of the engineered media are functionalized with a chemical having molecules to attract the mineral particles to the surfaces so as to form mineral laden media. After the mineral laden media are discharged from the tumbler cell, the mineral particles can be separated from the engineered media by stripping.

摘要: The invention relates to a submersible system (1) for measuring the density and/or concentration of solids in a dispersion, which can be in the form of a liquid, a mixture of multiple liquids, a suspension of solids in liquid, or a combination of these forms, inside of a reactor (11) into which gas in the form of bubbles is introduced, the system comprising: an open, pass-through gas exclusion device (4) having a tubular body (5) with a variable cross-section through which the dispersion without gas bubbles enters, the device coupling to an inlet tube (6); a scaled chamber (8) that has a means for measuring density, when the dispersion circulates between an inlet (14) of the sealed chamber (8) and an outlet (15) of the sealed chamber (8). The outlet (15) of the sealed chamber (8) is coupled to an outlet tube (7) through which the dispersion returns to the reactor (11) in which same is being processed. The system also comprises a transmitter (9) connected to a sensor, which generates an output signal proportional to the density of the dispersion without gas bubbles by means of the sensor located inside the sealed chamber (8); and a processing unit (10) that generates an output signal (16) proportional to the concentration of solids in the gasless dispersion, as well as the pulp density. The invention further comprises a method for obtaining the concentration and density of the pulp.
