Scientific novelty
The proposed technical solutions aim to obtain high-quality concentrates with a high content of valuable components when processing low-quality, finely disseminated raw materials. It includes an injector-type pneumatic flotation machine with a direct-flow upward pulp stream, featuring the option to install a magnetic system with a complex for operational monitoring of the pulp's redox potential in the presence of various impurities to regulate the ionic and chemical composition of the pulp. The application of a magnetic field provides targeted action during flotation on mineralized bubbles to reduce the mechanical carryover of waste rock into the froth product and improve concentrate quality. The machine vision complex, redox potential monitoring, and software allow for real-time control and forecasting of the flotation enrichment process.
Advantages
The proposed complex of technical solutions differs from existing technologies by a high level of mineral raw material enrichment of various origins due to the intensification of extraction processes. This complex reduces the amount of reagents at the flotation stage through real-time monitoring and operational control, which decreases the environmental impact in the area of the mining and metallurgical enterprise.
Commercial implementation
This innovative development is intended for mining enterprises to obtain commercial concentrates (including from low-quality raw materials with variable material composition and physical-mechanical chemical properties) as a basis for creating special types of functional materials and alloys, as well as for enterprises in the chemical, aerospace, and other industries.
