Development of thin-layer apparatus for separation of suspension with slime discharge unit

Abstract

Subject of investigation: separation of finely dispersed suspension in the mining and metallurgical industries. The work develops a three-zone mathematical model of the suspension motion in an inclined channel. The speed of particles movement in the inclined channel was measured for the first time with the use of a laser anemometer with fibre light guides. The dependence of the intensification of the mass transfer upon the angle of the channel inclination and degree of dispersion of the gas phase was obtained for the first time. A pilot industrial apparatus was developed and tested. It features uniform discharge of the slime by the expenditure and density. Manufactured is a pilot lot of industrial thin-layer apparatus and compressive pumpsAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
