Method for rapidly measuring weight of flotation foam product
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flotation tests, in particular to a method for quickly measuring the weight of a flotation foam product.
Background
The flotation test is an important means for judging the floatability of the ore, determining the proper conditions for the ore flotation and achieving the flotation indexes, and provides a basis for the design and construction of a dressing plant and the adjustment of the flotation production process. Flotation tests typically calculate product yield from the product weight of the floating froth and the product weight in the cell that does not float; analyzing the product to obtain the grade; and calculating the recovery rate according to the yield and the grade. It can be seen that the weight and grade of the flotation product are two important raw data for calculating the flotation test index. For the yield, generally, solid-liquid separation is carried out on the foam product and the product in the tank, and the yield is calculated after the solid phase is dried and weighed. Because the amount of raw ore is constant, the sum of the weight of the foam product and the weight of the product in the tank is a constant value, namely, if the weight of the foam product is measured, the yield can be calculated more accurately. For the grade, generally need to foam product and trough product solid-liquid separation, the solid phase is dried and weighed the assay analysis after to get, experienced technical staff can be according to the test phenomenon and the color, gloss of product, etc., judge the approximate grade. In the flotation test, reasonable yield is a necessary prerequisite for obtaining proper conditions and reasonable indexes of flotation. It follows that the foam product weight is an important technical parameter. The rapid acquisition of the froth product weight is an important prerequisite for effective adjustment of flotation conditions. The traditional method for obtaining the weight of the foam product comprises the following steps: 1) the foam product is a final product of a test, and a solid-liquid separation-drying-weighing method can be adopted; 2) the foam product is not a final product of the test, and needs to be further sorted, for example, the rough concentrate of flotation needs to be concentrated; the middlings of the closed-circuit test need to be returned for recleaning, and the middlings comprise scavenging foam and concentration tailings, namely products in a concentration tank. There are problems in that: 1) when the foam product is a final product of a test, the solid-liquid separation-drying-weighing method adopted is slow in speed and long in time consumption, cannot meet the effect of an instant adjusting condition, and is only used as an evaluation basis of a test effect; 2) when the foam product is not a final product of a test, the judgment of the amount generally only depends on estimation, the error is 50 percent and even exceeds 100 percent, more than half of the test is not suitable, so the test times are increased, such as a closed circuit test, the closed circuit is often carried out for 7-8 times, and the times are more if the foam product is multi-metal separation. Not only is the cost increased, but also much time and resources are wasted. The invention can quickly measure the weight of the solid material in the foam product, is convenient to operate, saves time and labor, does not change the shape and the property of ore pulp, and provides support for the adjustment of the flotation condition at any time.
