Izi-spiral concentrators sezibe amathuluzi abalulekile ekucubunguleni izimbiwa zesimanje, ikakhulukazi ekutholeni izimbiwa ezinhle kakhulu ngempumelelo ephezulu. Lezi zihlukanisi eziqondisa amandla emvelo zisebenzisa amandla emvelo okugeleza kwamanzi nokudonsela phansi ukuhlukanisa izimbiwa eziyigugu ezintweni ezingenasidingo ngendlela enakekela imvelo. Njengoba izimboni emhlabeni wonke zifuna izixazululo ezisimeme nezonga izindleko, izi-spiral concentrators zigqama ngokulula kwazo, ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi, nokusebenza kahle kakhulu kokuhlukanisa. Lesi sihloko sihluza ukwakheka, izinzuzo, nezinye izindlela zokusebenzisa izi-spiral concentrators, sigcizelela indima yazo ekuthuthukiseni ubuchwepheshe bokucubungula izimbiwa obunobungani nemvelo.

Isikhombisi-ndlela esiyindilinga sibonakala ngokwakhiwa kwesikhala esiyindilinga esivumela ukuthi uketshezi luqhubeke phansi ubude bayo ngenkathi luhlukanisa izimbiwa ngokusekelwe ekuminyene yazo nosayizi wezingcezu. Ngokuvamile senziwe ngezinto ezimelana nokugqwala, isikhombisi siqukethe imijikelezo eminingi noma izindilinga ezifakwe esakhiweni, lapho uketshezi lokudla luhamba khona ngenxa yamandla adonsayo. Umklamo uhlanganisa izinduku noma izici ezifana nezimisele eduze kwesikhala ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuhlukaniswa kwezingcezu zezimbiwa ezisindayo kusuka ku-gangue elula. Amanzi okugeleza alawulwa ngokucophelela ukuze alinganise amandla adonsayo namandla adonsayo, aqinisekise ukuhlukaniswa okusebenzayo nokutholwa kwezingcezu ezinhle. Izikhombisi-ndlela zesimanjemanje ezivela ezinkampanini ezifana ne-Alicoco Mineral Technology Co., Limited, zizuzwa ngemiklamo enamalungelo obunikazi ethuthukisa ukudlula nokutholwa, okuzenza zilungele izinhlanganisela zezimbiwa eziyinkimbinkimbi.

Izilinganiso zokudla ezilungisekayo kanye nezilawuli zokugeleza kwamanzi zivumela abasebenzi ukuthi benze inqubo yokuhlukanisa ibe ngeyomuntu siqu ngokwezinto zemaminerali ezithile kanye nokusatshalaliswa kosayizi wezinhlayiya, kuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokululama. Umklamo ophumelelayo wenza kube lula ukufakwa ezitshalweni zokucubungula amaminerali ezinezikhala ezilinganiselwe, kanti ukungabikho kwezingxenye zemishini ezihambayo kunciphisa izidingo zokugcinwa.

Enye yezinzuzo ezibalulekile zama-spiral concentrators ukusetshenziswa kwawo kwamandla okuphansi uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye ubuchwepheshe bokuhlukanisa amaminerali. Njengoba ethembele kakhulu kugraviti kanye nokugeleza kwamanzi, kuncane kakhulu ukuthembela emandleni kagesi noma emishini, kunciphisa izindleko zokusebenza kanye nomthelela emvelweni. Lokhu kusebenza kahle kwamandla kwenza ama-spiral abe adume kakhulu ezindaweni zokumba ezikude lapho kungase kube khona ukunikezwa kwamandla okulinganiselwe.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izihlukanisi ezijikelezayo zikwazi kakhulu ukuhlukanisa izinhlayiya ezincane nezincane kakhulu, okuyinto evame ukuba nzima ezindleleni zokuhlanganisa noma zokuhlukanisa ngomagnetic. Amandla azo okuphatha ukugeleza okuqhubekayo kwe-slurry ngokusebenzisa izinto ezincane kakhulu kuphinde kunikelele ezindleleni zokucubungula imihume ezilungele imvelo. Ukuncipha kokusetshenziswa kwamakhemikhali akugcini nje ngokwehlisa izindleko zokucubungula kodwa futhi kunciphisa ubungozi bemvelo obuhlobene nokulahla izinto ezisetshenziswayo.

Ukulungiswa kanye nokulula kokusebenza kuphinde kuhunyushwe ekuthuthukiseni isikhathi sokusebenza kanye nokwehlisa izindleko zabasebenzi, okwengeza ezindabeni zezomnotho zokusebenzisa izihlukanisi ezijikelezayo endaweni.

Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-flotation, amatafula okugubha, noma ukuhlukaniswa ngemidiya ewugqinsi, izikhombisi-ndlela ze-spiral zinikeza ibhalansi eyingqayizivele yokonga izindleko, ukulula, kanye nokuba nobungani nemvelo. Ngokungafani ne-flotation, edinga izinto zamakhemikhali kanye nokulawulwa kwe-pH okunembayo, izikhombisi-ndlela ze-spiral zisebenza ngokuphelele ngezimiso ezingokomzimba ngaphandle kwesidingo sezithako ezingeziwe. Leli lungelo alinciphisi kuphela izindleko zokusebenza kodwa futhi nesithunzi semvelo sokusebenza kokucubungula amaminerali.

Amatafula okudlidliza, nakuba enembile, ahlanganisa izinhlelo eziyinkimbinkimbi zemishini kanye nezidingo eziphakeme zokugcinwa. Ukuhlukaniswa ngemidiya eminyene kudinga ukulungiswa nokuphathwa kwezinsizakalo ezinzima zemidiya, okungadala izinselele zokuphepha kanye nezemvelo. Abagxilisi be-spiral bagwema lezi zinkinga ngokunikeza ukusebenza okuqhubekayo, okungadingi ukugcinwa kakhulu.

Noma izikhewu zingase zingafinyeleli izinga elifanayo lokuhlukanisa njengobuchwepheshe obuthile obuthuthukisiwe zezinhlobo ezithile zamaminerali, ukuzivumelanisa kwazo kanye nomthelela omncane kwezemvelo kubenza bakhethwe kakhulu ekucubunguleni amaminerali anezinhlamvu ezinhle, ikakhulukazi lapho izindlela ezisimeme zibekwa phambili.

Ngokuhambisana nezinye izinyathelo zomhlaba wonke zokunciphisa umthelela wezimayini emvelweni, izihlukanisi eziyispirali zidlala indima enkulu ekucubunguleni amaminerali ngendlela enesibopho esihambisana nemvelo. Ukusetshenziswa kwazo okuphansi kwamanzi namandla kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza, futhi ikhono lazo lokuthola izinhlayiya ezincane zamaminerali kunciphisa ukuchitheka kwezinsalela kanye nomthamo wezinsalela. Lokhu kuholela ekunciphisweni kokulinyazwa komhlaba kanye nasezingozini eziphansi zokungcoliswa kwemvelo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Alicoco Mineral Technology Co., Limited igcizelela ukuthuthukiswa kwezihlukanisi eziyispirali ezihambisana nemvelo eziklanyelwe ukusekela izimayini ezisimeme. Ubuchwepheshe bazo obunelungelo lobunikazi be-spiral chute akuwona kuphela obuthuthukisa ukutholwa kwamaminerali kodwa futhi bubhekelela ukugaywa kabusha kwamanzi okucubungulayo, kunciphisa isidingo samanzi amasha. Izinqubo zokuhlukanisa ezisebenzayo zinciphisa isidingo sezinto zamakhemikhali, kunciphisa ubuthi bokudonswa kwamanzi futhi kuthuthukisa ukuphepha kokuphathwa kwezinsalela ezilandelayo.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwalezi zici kuhambisana nezinhloso zamakampani amamining amanje zokuhambisana nemithetho eqinile yokuvikela imvelo ngenkathi kugcinwa inzuzo.

Ama-spiral concentrators atholakala kakhulu emikhakheni ehlukene yokumbiwa phansi kuhlanganise negolide, insimbi, i-chromite, kanye nokucutshungulwa kwekhabhoni. Ukuhluka kwabo kuvumela ukusizakala kahle kokubili izinsimbi eziyigugu nezinsimbi ezijwayelekile, kanye nezimayini zezimboni. Ekumbiwa phansi kwegolide, ama-spiral avame ukusetshenziswa ukuze agxile ezindaweni ezincane zegolide ezikhululekile ngaphambi kokuhlanza noma izinyathelo zokufaka emanzini. Izitshalo zokuthuthukisa insimbi zisebenzisa ama-spiral concentrators ukuhlukanisa i-hematite ne-magnetite kumaminerali e-gangue ngempumelelo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Alicoco ibhale amaphrojekthi amaningi aphumelelayo ku-Amacala ikhasi, libonisa ukuguquguquka kwezinto ezikhipha izimbiwa ezindaweni eziningi zezimbiwa nezimo zezimayini. Lezi zifundo zibonisa ukuthuthukiswa kwezinga lokuthola, ukuncishiswa kwezindleko, nemiphumela emihle yemvelo eyatholwa ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obunelungelo lobunikazi be-Alicoco.

Imisebenzi yezimayini izuzisa indawo encane kanye nokuhlanganiswa okulula kwezinto ezikhipha izimbiwa kumajikijolo okucubungula akhona, okuvumela ukufakwa okusheshayo nokukala. Isicelo sabo sihlomula kakhulu ekucubunguleni izimbiwa ezinhle kakhulu ezinzima ukuzihlukanisa ngokomnotho kusetshenziswa izindlela ezijwayelekile.

Ama-concentrator we-spiral amelela intuthuko ebalulekile kubuchwepheshe bokucubungula amaminerali, ehlanganisa ukuhlukaniswa okuphumelelayo kwezinhlamvu ezinhle nokusebenza okusimeme kwezemvelo. Ukusetshenziswa kwawo kwamandla okuphansi, ukusetshenziswa okuncane kwezinto zokwelapha, namakhono okunciphisa udoti kwenza kube ukukhetha okukhangayo ezinkampanini zezimayini zesimanje ezifuna ukulinganisa inzuzo nomthwalo wemfanelo wezemvelo. I-Alicoco Mineral Technology Co., Limited, umholi emiklameni ye-spiral chute enelungelo lobunikazi, iyaqhubeka nokuqamba izinto kule ndawo, inikeza izixazululo ezisezingeni eliphezulu, ezingenziwa ngendlela oyifisayo zezinhlobonhlobo ezibanzi zamaminerali.

Ezinkampanini ezihlose ukuthuthukisa ukuthola izimbiwa ngenkathi kuncishiswa umthelela wezemvelo, ukwamukela izinto ezikhipha izimbiwa kuyisinqumo esihlakaniphile nesicabanga esizayo. Ukufunda kabanzi ngemikhiqizo ye-Alicoco nobuchwepheshe bokucubungula izimbiwa, vakashela i-Ikhaya ikhasi noma hlola imininingwane enemininingwane yomkhiqizo ku-Imikhiqizo ikhasi. Ukuze uthole imibuzo nokwesekwa kwezobuchwepheshe, i-Xhumana-1 ikhasi linikeza imibuzo evame ukubuzwa ewusizo nezinketho zokuxhumana ukusiza abasebenzisi abangase babe khona.
