Concentrate dewatering not only can accurately control concentrate water and reduce energy consumption, but also reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve working conditions.
First, the process requirements and control purposes
A lead-zinc ore beneficiation dehydrated by a vacuum pump system, thickener, of discharge valves, lift pump pulp, dewatering filter, concentrate electronic scales, turn on the water drain tank and other equipment. The connecting country of the dewatering section is shown in Figure 5-5-1. The dewatering operation adopts an intermittent working system, and the driving or parking is determined according to the concentration of the bottom stream of the thickener and the amount of the mineral in the concentration tank.
According to the process requirements, the computer is used for dehydration process control. The control system implements the following detection and control.
(1) Monitoring and control of the concentration of the bottom flow of the concentration tank, when the limit is exceeded, the alarm can be automatically ensured to ensure the safe operation of the drive system of the concentration tank.

(2) Detection of the amount of minerals at the bottom of the concentrator.
(3) The release valve opens “closed control, fault detection and alarm.
(4) Detection and alarm of the level of the ore tank in the filter.
(5) The opening and closing control of the filter and its auxiliary equipment.
(6) Slurry lifting pump pool overflow detection and alarm.
(7) Weighing, data processing and report output of the concentrate products of the six filters.
Second, the control system constitutes
The microcomputer control system consists of 20-0651 basic system (including 4X8 monitoring, 8KBBASIC, 4KB assembly, 4KB application, etc., the program is solidified in EPPOM, tape drive, terminal, printer, power supply, etc. Switch input and output adopt photoelectric Coupling isolation.
The control system software consists of four functional modules. The functional modules are organically connected by the main program to form a complete dehydration control software.
A input operation module
All control parameters, set values, initialization procedures, etc. are completed in the input operation block.
B interface function module
The analog input signal, the digital input/output signal, the real-time clock interrupt processing signal, etc., complete the input and output control functions through the parallel interface. The interface function module consists of 45 function subroutines. Each subroutine is compiled in assembly language and hardened on the interface function block.
C data processing module
Used for data processing after A/D sampling, various condition discrimination and concentrate calculation.
D output control module
Complete single-character Chinese character display, time display, fault display, and test data printout.
The control program is compiled in a combination of assembly language and basic language. The functional modules related to the interface are programmed in assembly language, and the subroutines and main programs that are related to the user are programmed in assembly language. This solves the problem of the speed at which the outside world exchanges information with the host, facilitating human-machine dialogue. The system also has diagnostic and self-diagnostics. The control system software is shown in Figure 5-5-2.
Third, the dehydration process parameters
In the dehydration control system, the simulated quantity detected has the concentration of the bottom stream of the concentration tank, the amount of the bottom of the thickener, and the weight of the concentrate.
Detection of the concentration of the bottom stream in the A concentration tank
During the concentration process of the slurry in the concentration tank, the change of the concentration of the bottom layer of the slurry makes the input power of the concentrator drive motor have obvious changes, which can indirectly reflect the change of the slurry concentration.
The input power is low, the pulp concentration is low, the filter cake is thin and ventilated during filtration, the dehydration effect is not good, and the waste cloth is wasted. The input power is high, the concentration of the slurry is high, and the concentration is too high, which is easy to block the pipeline and damage the transmission shaft and the transmission gear. Therefore, the concentration of the slurry in the compression zone of the concentrator is used to control the ore discharge valve, the slurry lift pump, and the dewatering filtration.
B concentrator bottom mine detection
The amount of concentrate at the bottom of the concentrator is detected by injecting a small amount of water through the valve in the Steel Pipe to balance the water level in the pipe with the pressure of the slurry in the concentrator. Since the concentrator has a fixed volume, if the internal ore volume changes, the pressure on the bottom will change. In this way, the mineral amount is measured indirectly by a pressure transmitter.
Figure 5-5-2 Software block diagram of the dehydration control system
C concentrate weight detection
The dehydrated lead, zinc, sulfur and other concentrate products are weighed by electronic scales. Switched by a pressure sensor.
When the concentration of each concentrate reaches the set value, the microcomputer automatically detects the total weight and sends out a knowing concentrate signal. When the concentrate is poured into the concentrate bin, the concentrate is automatically tested for tare weight. Finally, after data processing, the concentrate output of each class is printed periodically.
In the process of analog quantity detection, random sampling, analog-to-digital conversion, etc. were realized for the bottom stream concentration signals of lead, zinc and sulfur, the bottom quantity signal of the lead concentrator and the concentrate weight signal of six concentrates. And data processing, and take appropriate anti-interference measures.
D switch input signal detection
The liquid level signal in the filter tank of the dehydration process, the alarm liquid level signal, the super-weight signal of the slurry lift pump box, the position signal of the ore discharge valve, the status signal of the concentrate scale, etc., participate in the dehydration process through microcomputer detection and logic discrimination. control.
The liquid level alarm electrode in the filter tank is damaged, the slurry of the sand pump box overflows, the discharge valve cannot be opened or closed, and an alarm detection is installed in the system. The display automatically displays the measurement result, and the alarm output circuit outputs the alarm signal and the fault location in time. At the same time, the safety measures such as automatically or manually closing the mine valve are adopted to avoid the occurrence of run, run and leak of the concentrate during the dehydration process.
Fourth, the dehydration process control method
The main control of the system includes: start and stop control of the filter, liquid level control of the slurry lifting pump box, opening and closing control of the ore discharging valve, and eight-way alarm control signals issued during the dehydration control process.
A concentrator underflow concentration and ore control
When the underflow concentration and the ore amount satisfy the specified value, the ore-mining control is performed. Mining conditions:
When the conditions are met, the ore discharge valve is opened in turn, the sand pump is started, the slurry is fed into the filter, and the process of dehydration of the concentrate is entered.
The liquid level control and alarm liquid level in the B filter tank are too high, which will affect the dewatering effect. The liquid level is too low and is also detrimental to dehydration.
C concentrate scale control
The concentrate scale is controlled when the amount of concentrate after dewatering reaches the set value.
D slurry control pump tank level control
When the liquid level of the sand pump box is lower than the lower limit electrode, the discharge valve is opened, the sand pump is started, and the filter is discharged to the filter; when the liquid level of the sand pump box is at the upper limit, the discharge valve must be closed. Above the upper limit, an alarm is displayed to prevent slurry overflow.
E alarm control system
During the dehydration process, lead, zinc, sulfur concentrator power over-limit signal, sand pump box overweight signal, filter internal electrode fault signal, mine valve fault signal, concentrate and full load signal are pre-stored in the memory correspondingly The fixed value is compared, and the sound and light alarm is output through the switch quantity, and the well is processed in time to ensure the normal operation of the dehydration process.
V. Main features of the control system The control system mainly has the following characteristics:
(1) The system uses reliable isolation technology in the input/output to solve the problem of on-site interference.
(2) A modular structure is adopted in software design. It adopts assembly language and BASIC language cross programming, which is more flexible and convenient.
(3) After adopting the system, the wrong filtration efficiency of the plant is increased by 3.1 times, zinc is increased by 1.6 times, the water content of lead concentrate is reduced by 2~10%, and the water content of 11% zinc concentrate is reduced by 0.5~7.5%, reaching 13%. Better efficiency.
