As a new-type flotation machine of high efficiency, its key component is bubble generator. Which completes the process of ore pulp inflation and liberalization. The design, parameters and working principle of bubble generator provide the design of the same device in similar equipment with reference. The result of industrial operation shows that this machine is of such features as small occupational area, greater concentration ratio, high processing capacity, high efficiency and lower investment etc.展开更多

The self-absorbing microbubble generator is the core component of this device. The structure of the microbubble generator directly influences flotation column performance by affecting bubble size and distribution as well as gas holdup in the column. However, the complicated flow inside the generator results in high R&D costs and difficulty in testing. Thus, the CFD software, FLUENT, was used to simulate the gas-liquid two-phase flow inside a self-absorbing microbubble generator. The effect of area ratio, a key structural parameter, was studied in detail. Critical flow-field parameters including velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, minimum static pressure and gas holdup were obtained. The simulation results demonstrate that the optimum area ratio is 3.展开更多
