磷酸盐中的克拉佩石去除:为何浮选在运营费用上比磁选好3:1?
在磷矿石加工中,使用浮选和磁选去除克拉佩利特(白云石和硅酸盐矿物)的决策往往归结为运营支出(OPEX)和效率。由于以下因素,浮选在运营支出方面通常胜过磁选,优势约为3:1:
选择性靶向杂质
- 浮选:使用定制的试剂和表面活性剂,选择性地与克拉佩石颗粒结合。这使得能够根据矿物表面化学进行精确分离,特别是在含有密切交织杂质如白云石和硅酸盐的磷矿中。它能够有效地分离杂质如克拉佩石,而无需大量能量投入。
- 磁选:依赖于磁化率的差异,这对像白云石和硅酸盐这样的非磁性杂质选择性较低。这种技术在去除克拉佩里石时遇到困难,除非与昂贵的预处理方法配合使用。
2. 能源消耗
- 浮选:通常具有较低的能量需求,因为它不依赖于产生强磁场或高机械力。大部分成本与化学试剂和水管理有关。
- 磁选: Requires significant energy to operate electromagnets or permanent magnets, especially at high throughput rates or when trying to achieve fine particle separations. The equipment’s electrical power requirements can drastically increase OPEX in large-scale operations.
3. Equipment Costs
- 浮选: The equipment (flotation cells, mixers, and pumps) tends to be less expensive to operate over time due to simpler, standardized designs and lower wear-and-tear. Maintenance costs are relatively moderate.
- 磁选: High-performance magnetic separators are expensive to procure, install, and maintain. The cost of wear parts (like magnetic coils and drum surfaces) can also add significantly to OPEX over time.
4. Adaptability to Ore Variability
- 浮选: Handles variability in ore composition effectively by adjusting reagent types and dosages, making the process more adaptable to different phosphate deposits.
- 磁选: Can struggle with ores that contain mixed impurities or low magnetic susceptibility minerals like dolomite and crappellite. Achieving effective separation requires pre-concentration steps, which drive up costs.
5. Water Usage
- While both processes consume water, flotation often has better closed-loop systems to recover and recycle water, reducing overall costs in areas where water needs to be managed carefully.
Why Flotation Beats Magnetic Separation 3:1 on OPEX:
Flotation not only achieves a higher level of selectivity and efficiency but also avoids the high energy and equipment costs associated with magnetic separation. While magnetic separation is valuable for removing magnetic contaminants, it tends to falter when dealing with impurities like crappellite. The scalability, adaptability, and lower per-ton processing costs associated with flotation make it the preferred method for crappellite removal in phosphate processing.
