Numerical Simulation of Flow Field of Inflation Pressure for Large Complex Sulfide Mineral of Low-Tin Flotation Machine

Article Preview

Abstract:

For flotation characteristics of complex sulfide mineral of low-tin in Guangxi Dachang mine, fluid dynamics software FLUENT was applied to simulate the turbulence intensity of slurry fluid in flotation machine at different inflation pressures. The effect of flow field characteristics was gotten for flotation machine. Simulation results show that the best inflation pressure was 120000 Pa.
