Multi-phase simulations of turbulent driven flow in a dense medium cyclone with magnetite medium have been conducted in Fluent, using the Algebraic Slip Mixture model to model the dispersed phases and the air-core, and both the Large Eddy Simulation turbulence model (LES) and Reynolds Stress Models (RSM) for turbulence closure. The predicted air-core shape and diameter were found to be close to the experimental results measured by gamma ray tomography. It is possible to use the LES turbulence model with ASM multi-phase model to predict the air/slurry interface accurately. Multi-phase simulations (air/water/medium) show appropriate medium segregation effects but over-predict the level of segregation compared to that measured by gamma ray tomography near the wall. This is believed to be because of unaccounted back-mixing of the dispersed phase due to turbulence in the basic Algebraic Slip Mixture model. The predictions of accurate axial segregation of magnetite medium are investigated using the LES turbulence model in conjunction with the multi-phase mixture model and viscosity corrections according to the feed particle loading factor. At higher feed densities the agreement between the Dunglison [Dunglison, M.E., 1999, A general model of the dense medium cylone, PhD thesis, JKMRC, University of Queensland] correlations and experimental measurements and the CFD is reasonably good, but the overflow density is lower than the model predictions. It is believed that the excessive underflow volumetric flow rates are responsible for under prediction of the overflow density. The effect of size distribution of the magnetite has been fully studied. As expected, the ultra-fine magnetite sizes (i.e. 2 and 7 microns) are distributed uniformly throughout the cyclone. As the size of magnetite increases, more segregation of magnetite occurs close to the wall. 相似文献

Low concentrate density from wet drum magnetic separators in dense medium circuits can cause operating difficulties due to inability to obtain the required circulating medium density and, indirectly, high medium solids losses. The literature is almost silent on the processes controlling concentrate density. However, the common name for the region through which concentrate is discharged—the squeeze pan gap—implies that some extrusion process is thought to be at work. There is no model of magnetics recovery in a wet drum magnetic separator, which includes as inputs all significant machine and operating variables.A series of trials, in both factorial experiments and in single variable experiments, was done using a purpose built rig which featured a small industrial scale (700 mm lip length, 900 mm diameter) wet drum magnetic separator. A substantial data set of 191 trials was generated in this work. The results of the factorial experiments were used to identify the variables having a significant effect on magnetics recovery.It is proposed, based both on the experimental observations of the present work and on observations reported in the literature, that the process controlling magnetic separator concentrate density is one of drainage. Such a process should be able to be defined by an initial moisture, a drainage rate and a drainage time, the latter being defined by the volumetric flowrate and the volume within the drainage zone. The magnetics can be characterised by an experimentally derived ultimate drainage moisture. A model based on these concepts and containing adjustable parameters was developed. This model was then fitted to a randomly chosen 80% of the data, and validated by application to the remaining 20%. The model is shown to be a good fit to data over concentrate solids content values from 40% solids to 80% solids and for both magnetite and ferrosilicon feeds. 相似文献

Cenospheres recovery is one of the coal fly ash beneficiations, providing economic as well as environmental benefits. Current techniques, such as lagoon or other wet-separation processes, consume large amounts of water and add to water pollution due to leaching of toxic materials from fly ash. The other possible disadvantage is the need for a wide operational area, which is unsuitable for densely populated countries. As wet-separation processes have some disadvantages, an improved and/or sustainable alternative recovery technique is required. An air classifier is one of the alternative techniques. In this study, two types of air classifiers, namely a closed-type pneumatic separator and a micron separator, have been investigated. In terms of separation efficiency, it was found that the micron separator has the potential to be applied in cenospheres recovery from coal fly ash, giving a Newton's efficiency of 0.44, as compared to a value of about 0.26 for the closed-type pneumatic separator. The cenospheres recoveries of both pieces of equipment at their optimum Newton's efficiencies were similar at over 60 wt.%. The separation performance was further assessed from the particle distributions of the overflow and underflow products obtained from both pieces of equipment, as well as from SEM images. It was found that the lower Newton's efficiency of the closed-type pneumatic separator was due to the re-concentration of fine particles in the underflow product at air-flow rates higher than 2.2 m/s (the underflow product yield was about 55 wt.%).In order to further confirm the applicability of this technique, the micron separator, which had provided higher separation efficiency and cenospheres recovery, was deployed in a cenospheres recovery unit prior to the use of a wet-separation process (float and sink tank). About 80% of the cenospheres was recovered, with an 87.8% reduction in the total mass of fly ash to be separated in the float and sink tank. Consequently, much less water was needed for the process of cenospheres recovery. Moreover, it was also confirmed that the micron separator could yield higher quality fly ashes, that is, fly ash types I and II, from lower feed quality of fly ash type IV, which is the lowest category in commercial classification of fly ash according to JIS A6201. 相似文献

Experiments were carried out on coal fines of two different washeries, at different periods of agglomeration, to determine the size distribution of agglomerates with changes in feed size, pulp density and furnace oil dosage. It is found that the size distribution of the agglomerates follows a self-preserving growth. This behaviour has been generalised using a reduced dimensionless size axis to obtain a characteristic curve. It is shown that this curve is affected only by the nature of the feed and not by the process variables. An equation has been suggested to quantify this characteristic curve of the oil agglomeration process. 相似文献

The biased subdivision of slurry feed to a number of unit operations in parallel results in each unit operating under different density volumetric flow rate, feed concentration. Consequently some of the units may operate under sub-optimal conditions leading to reduced operating efficiencies of sizing and cleaning units. The objective of this work was to identify the reasons for biased slurry subdivision in the feed distributor of Washery-II, West Bokaro, Tata Steel, Jamshedpur, India. A lab model of the feed distributor was set up at R&D using the principles of geometric similarity and dynamic similarity. A number of experimental investigations were carried out based on Design Of Experiments and the results analysed using ANOVA. The variation of feed rate of coal and its size distribution through different outlet ports were quantified through two terms, the coal split ratio and the variation index. The design of the insert, the number of water inlets, and the feeding position of coal in the distributor were the most important factors affecting the variation index. In case of coal split ratio, apart from the first two variables, none of the others had a significant effect. Four water inlets with symmetrically arranged outlets, equal water flow rate in the inlets and the material being fed in an annular ring into the distributor was found to reduce both the coal split ratio and the variation index. 相似文献

The Floatex density separator (FDS) is an industrial separator and works on the principle of hindered settling where the settling rate of a particle in suspension is affected by nearby particles. This phenomenon of hindered settling has been described by various authors using the concept of particle slip velocity. The feasibility of one such slip velocity model proposed by Galvin et al. to predict the separation of chromite in a plant scale FDS was examined. Previously this model was validated only at lab scale with synthetic mixture of various density particles. In order to use this model, the feed chromite ore was characterized and quantified into different density mineral classes and their percentages were estimated by using mineralogical grain count method. The performance of FDS was then predicted using slip velocity model in terms of weight recoveries and composition of different minerals in the FDS underflow product. 相似文献

In the southern part of the Slovensky Kras Mountains, located on the Hungarian–Slovakian border, a transboundary karstic aquifer
Dolny vrch/Alsóhegy underlies the structure and discharges groundwater flow to 15 major karst springs around its margin. Hydrograph
recession curves from nine-gauged springs on the Slovak part of the aquifer were analysed, and for each individual spring,
depletion hydrograph equations were classified into different categories based on recessional parameters quantitatively describing
individual groundwater flow sub–regimes. Discharge depletion was used to create recessional equations, and these were linked
to karstification degree, a qualitative scale ranging from 1 to 10. A new application of hydrograph separation was based on
examining and combining pairs of springs that likely fit into the category of overflow/underflow springs for a single groundwater
reservoir. Recession-curve analysis performed on coupled discharges of two pairs of neighbouring springs was conducted to
examine their possible linkage as a single groundwater reservoir, with an overflow outlet and underflow outlet. In the process
of discharge coupling, discharges of the springs, hypothesized to be branches of the same source and observed at the same
time were simply added together. By analyzing the resulting new time series, a new classification of sub-regimes could be
generated. Surprisingly, new facts were revealed about the overflow/underflow springs, which primarily were not recognized
previously as being connected components of a single groundwater reservoir. Summations of combined overflow/underflow discharge
volumes of a single spring reservoir led to discovery of apparent presence of turbulent flow sub-regimes on the coupled recession
curve. Presence of possible overflow/underflow springs of a single groundwater basin should be considered during hydrograph
analyses if the springs have attributes that suggest they may be part of a combined flow system. Treating these springs as
separate entities as a result can produce significant misinterpretation of drainage parameters. Furthermore, identification
of overflow branches facilitates the generation of new research ideas for further speleological investigations nearby, and
for assessing the system in a more effective manner. 相似文献

Classification tests have been carried out on limestone in 10.2-, 15.2-, 25.4- and 38.1-cm “Krebs” hydrocyclones in order to study the effect of cyclone diameter on the reduced-efficiency curve. Parameters which were varied included the vortex finder and spigot diameter, throughput and feed-solids content, but the feed size remained constant. The reduced-efficiency curve was found to be constant for all tests and the conclusion is that for constant feed size this curve is a function of the material being classified only for geometrically similar cyclones and is independent of the cyclone diameter. 相似文献

Most of the countries around the North Indian Ocean are threatened by storm surges associated with severe tropical cyclones.
The destruction due to the storm surge flooding is a serious concern along the coastal regions of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Oman. Storm surges cause heavy loss of lives and property damage to the coastal structures and losses
of agriculture which lead to annual economic losses in these countries. About 300,000 lives were lost in one of the most severe
cyclones that hit Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) in November 1970. The Andhra Cyclone devastated part of the eastern coast
of India, killing about 10,000 persons in November 1977. More recently, the Chittagong cyclone of April 1991 killed 140,000
people in Bangladesh, and the Orissa coast of India was struck by a severe cyclonic storm in October 1999, killing more than
15,000 people besides enormous loss to the property in the region. These and most of the world’s greatest natural disasters
associated with the tropical cyclones have been directly attributed to storm surges. The main objective of this article is
to highlight the recent developments in storm surge prediction in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. 相似文献

通过对大61-21井马五5典型小储量气井又漏又涌溢流的处理,总结出了小储量气井在井漏后,随着漏入钻井液量的增多,而表现出地层压力不断升高和循环正常后停泵又会出现井口溢流现象的两大特征。井漏、溢流、提高密度、井漏的恶性循环是处理这类溢流的井控技术难点。当出现又漏又涌的溢流时,及时诊断是否属于小储量气井对选择处理方法很重要。针对小储量气井出现又漏又涌情况,只要满足安全条件,采取平推压井是经济有效的处理方法。大61-21井采用循环加重和平推2种方法结合处理小储量气井溢流的经验与教训,对同类井具有一定借鉴意义。 相似文献

In dressing plants, the rapid determination of the corrected cut point in hydrocyclone classification is desirable, useful, and important. In this work, classification tests have been carried out on white sand using a 10-cm diameter hydrocyclone to examine closely the relation between the recovery to underflow and the corrected separation size, . The study was carried out at wide ranges of: apex diameter, vortex-finder diameter, solid content of feed, and length of vortex finder.A simple, yet reliable, equation relating the solid recovery of underflow to , is developed using all the obtained results. The predicted data show good agreement with the experimental. 相似文献

A number of flotation circuits for the recovery of a poorly floating coal were investigated by laboratory batch testing. Analysis of the size and ash distributions of the products and tailings showed that the circuits which would allow an equitable distribution of collector between the coarse and fine size fractions were superior. These circuits were two-stage reagent addition, reflotation of classified tailings and split feed flotation. The reflotation of classified tailings circuit not only gave the best metallurgical performance, it also was the least affected by pulp density variations and imperfect size classification. 相似文献

The effect of non-plastic fines (silt) on the undrained monotonic response of saturated and isotropically consolidated sand specimens prepared to various measures of their density was studied in detail through various approaches namely gross void ratio approach, relative density approach, sand skeleton void ratio approach, and interfine void ratio approach. Specimens of 50 mm in diameter and 100 mm in height were tested at a rate of loading of 0.6 mm/min for this purpose. The limiting silt content and the relative density of a specimen were found to influence the undrained monotonic response of sand–silt mixtures to a great extent. Undrained monotonic response was observed to be independent of silt content at very high relative densities; however the presence of fines significantly influenced this response of loose to medium dense specimens. Individual and combined analyses of undrained monotonic peak strengths which are closely related to the liquefaction related problems have been done in this paper to assess the variation patterns. 相似文献

The flow behavior in hydrocyclone is quite complex. This complexity of flow processes has led designers to rely on empirical equations for predicting the equipment performance. The publications on empirical models of the hydrocyclone far out-number few fluid-flow-modeling attempts. Empirical models correlate a classification parameter, such as the cut-size, with device dimensions and slurry properties. However, these can only be used within the extremes of the experimental data from which the model parameters were determined. On the other hand, models based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques have proven to be useful in simulating fluid flow in hydrocyclones, and in predicting the separation efficiency of solid particles in the separator for a wide range of operating and design conditions. The shape and size of a hydrocyclone separator has a direct influence on the internal flow structure of the continuous phase and, thereby, the separation of the particulate phase. Hydrocylcones usually have a single inlet that distributes the feed stream near the end wall between the vortex finder and the sidewall. Effect of spigot diameter, i.e., 10 and 20 mm and inlet water velocities (5.91–12.35 m/s) on the water splits and particle classification in the hydrocyclone have been studied. The cut size of the hydrocyclone, operated at very low pulp density, has been predicted using discrete phase modeling technique. The studies revealed that with an increase in feed flow rate and decrease in spigot diameter the cyclone sharpness of separation improves. These predictions were found similar in line with the experimental observations. 相似文献

Experiments were carried out to investigate the rheological properties of coal–oil–water suspension containing solids of different sizes. Two different coal samples with mean particle sizes of 120 mesh, 175 mesh and 220 mesh were used. The coal concentration was varied from 5% to 25% by weight. Sodium silicate has been used as an additive to study the behavior of the variation of average viscosity of the suspension. A generalized correlation has been developed to predict the average viscosity of suspension in terms of particle diameter of the coal, concentration of coal, viscosity of the suspending medium and the concentration of water. Experimental investigations revealed that coal–oil–water suspensions show an increase in the viscosity with decrease in coal size but with the addition of an additive, the average viscosity tends to decrease initially up to a certain optimum dosages and thereafter it increases with further addition of additives. Two empirical correlations are proposed for average viscosity of the coal–oil–water suspension, μsL in terms of physical properties of the solid and viscosity of the suspending medium with and without additives. 相似文献

An extensive test programme has been conducted on 10.2-, 25.4- and 38.1-cm “Krebs” hydrocyclones in order to study the effects of some design and operating variables on their volume capacities.For a given pressure the capacity of a cyclone was found to rise sharply with the addition of solid particles to water until the solids content was about 15% by weight. Further increase in solids caused a decrease in throughput. The effect of vortex finder diameter on the throughput was found to be non-linear. A general equation which relates inlet and outlet diameters, operating pressure and feed solids content to the volume capacity is presented. This equation is independent of hydrocyclone diameter. 相似文献

Direct reduction of iron ore to produce electric furnace feed for steelmaking is becoming economically important on a worldwide scale. For this application an iron ore superconcentrate containing less than 2% silica is demanded. Pilot plant and commercial operations have shown that high-intensity wet magnetic separation is well adapted to meet this specification with high recovery and attractive capital and operating costs. Tests with the Jones separator have produced superconcentrates containing less than 1.5% silica with over 90% iron recovery from preconcentrates produced by sizing or by gravity or low-intensity magnetic separation. Estimated total capital and operating costs to produce a ton of superconcentrate by high-intensity wet magnetic separation are $0.43 for retreatment of specular hematite spiral concentrate, $0.47 for Brazilian hematite fines, and $0.49 for magnetite. 相似文献

Tropical cyclones are the most common natural disasters in coastal regions and are the most costly in terms of economic losses.
Economic loss assessment is the basis for disaster prevention and alleviation and for insurance indemnification. We use data
from 1970 to 2008 for Zhejiang Province, China, in this study evaluating economic losses. We convert direct economic losses
from tropical cyclone disasters in Zhejiang Province into indices of direct economic losses. To establish our assessment model,
we process disaster-inducing assessment factors, disaster-formative environments and disaster-affected bodies using the principal
component analysis method, and we abstract the principal component as the input of a BP neural network model. We found in
the actual assessments of five tropical cyclones affecting Zhejiang Province in 2007 and 2008 that the post-disaster loss
assessment values of tropical cyclones were higher than the actual losses, but that for more severe storms, the gap was smaller.
This reflects the beneficial effect of efforts toward disaster prevention and alleviation for severe tropical cyclones. Pre-assessments
based on relatively accurate forecast values of wind and precipitation at the start of a tropical cyclone have been in accordance
with the post-disaster assessment values, while the pre-assessment results using less accurate forecast values have been unsatisfactory.
Therefore, this model can be applied in the actual assessment of direct economic loss from tropical cyclone damage, but increasingly
accurate forecasting of wind and precipitation remains crucial to improving the accuracy of pre-assessments. 相似文献
