The value of computational fluid dynamics in mineral processing innovation

矿物加工流程主要包含矿物颗粒或矿浆流体相关的输运、破碎、混合、分离等过程。其中矿物颗粒之间的交互作用具有动态特性和流体相关特性。利用计算流体力学(CFD)技术可以从理论层面深入分析矿物加工流程中涉及的物料运动规律,进而帮助工程师更好地理解矿物加工过程,推动矿物加工创新。从矿物加工设备设计、选矿难题解决、选矿流程优化、选矿过程控制等方面阐述了CFD技术能够为矿物加工创新带来的价值。

Mineral processing processes mainly include transportation, fragmentation, mixing and separation of mineral particles or slurry fluids in plants. The interactions between mineral particles have dynamic characteristics and fluid correlation properties. The material movement structure involved in mineral processing processes can be analyzed theoretically by the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which will help engineers better understand mineral processing processes and promote mineral processing innovation. This paper expounds the value of CFD technology for mineral processing innovation from mineral processing equipment design, plant problem solving, process optimization and process control.
