Oomatshini bokubhabha abasuka kwi-LITech

I-Hydrophobic vs. Hydrophilic

• Iincinci ze-Hydrophobic (ezinqanda amanzi) zibambelela kumaqamza omoya.
• Amasuntswana e-Hydrophilic (akhanga amanzi) ahlala emanzini.

Ukubopha isinyi

• Ukuba amaqamza omoya aveliswa zii-agitators okanye izixhobo ze-centrifugal, zinyuka ngokumiswa okunyangwayo (“i-pulp”).
• Iincinci ze-Hydrophobic "zinamathele" kwi-bubble surface kwaye ziqhutyelwa kunye ne-foam ekhulayo.

Ukwahlula njengogwebu

• I-foam okanye i-foam-mineral isigaba sefom phezulu, efunxayo okanye ikhutshwe.
• Amanzi ashiyekileyo ane-hydrophilic residual particles ayakhutshwa.

Ukulungiswa kwezimbiwa

• Ukwahlula i-sulfide, i-oxide kunye ne-mineralization (umzekelo, ubhedu, i-lead, i-zinc).
• Ukubuyiswa kweeminerali ezicolekileyo (< 100 µm).

Ukurisayikilisha kunye naManzi amdaka

• Ukwahlula i-oyile kumanzi amdaka emizi-mveliso.
• Ukubuyiswa kwezinto ezixabisekileyo ezifana nemicu okanye amasuntswana eplastiki.

Itekhnoloji yokucoca amanzi amdaka

• Ukususwa kwezinto eziqinileyo ezimisiweyo kunye nezingcolisi ezincinci zisebenzisa i-micro- okanye i-nanobubbles (DAF - i-dissolved air flotation).

Iseli/ibhoyila: Isikhongozeli sepulp kunye nonikezelo lomoya
Rotor/Isitayile: Ukuhamba okwenziwa ngoomatshini ukuxuba umoya
Ukungenisa umoya: Ukunikezelwa komoya ocinezelweyo okanye isifunxa
Ukukhutshwa kogwebu: Ukutyibilika okanye ukufunxa ugwebu olulayishiweyo
Ukudongwa kwemichiza: Ukongezwa komqokeleli kunye neereagents ezinogwebu

Iiseli ze-Mechanical, ezifana ne-Wemco okanye uhlobo lwe-Denver, zisebenzisa i-rotor edibanisa ngamandla umxube wamanzi, iinqununu eziqinileyo, kunye nomoya owongezelelweyo (i-pulp). Oku kudala amaqamza amancinci, apho amasuntswana e-hydrophobic ancamathele khona. La maqamza aneminerali anyukela phezulu aze enze isigaba sogwebu esinokushenxiswa.

I-hydraulic flotators (eyaziwa ngokuba yi-pressure flotators, umzekelo, uhlobo lwe-Dorr) lusebenza ngaphandle kweengxenye ezijikelezayo. Banyibilikisa umoya emanzini phantsi koxinzelelo oluphezulu kwaye bazise amaqamza aphumela kwintlenga. La maqamza amahle nawo ancamathela kwiincinci zamaminerali, azithutha kwisahluli njengegwebu.

Iikholamu ezijikelezayo zinde, iisilinda ezibhityileyo ezinesiphithiphithi esiphantsi kakhulu. Kuzo, amaqamza omoya aphakama ngokulinganayo nangokucothayo ngokunqunyanyiswa, aphumeze ngokukodwa ubunyulu obuphezulu kunye nokwahlulwa okuchanekileyo kwawona maqhezu amasuntswana agqwesileyo (<50 µm). Zikhethwa xa umgangatho wemveliso ephezulu kunye nokuphathwa kwamasuntswana athambileyo kufuneka.
