摘要
A suction flow field model of seafloor massive sulfide agglomeration was established based on the working characteristics of the spiral drum. Fluent software was used to simulate the solid-liquid two-phase flow in the seafloor massive sulfide gathering process, and the effects of the initial mineral movement state, mineral particle size, suction pipe structure parameters, and suction water flow velocity on the suction performance were analyzed. The results show that when collecting seafloor massive sulfide, the initial movement speed of seafloor massive sulfide should be increased as much as possible; the larger the particle size of the mineral is, the more difficult it is to pump. In order to facilitate the collection of polymetallic sulfides, the particle size of minerals should be controlled in the range of 10-30 mm. The diameter of suction pipe is positively correlated with the suction completion rate. Considering the suction completion rate and concentration comprehensively, it is recommended that the inner diameter of suction pipe be 150 mm and the diversion hood be installed. The suction flow rate is positively correlated with the suction completion rate. The suction water is not the faster the better. Considering the suction efficiency and energy consumption comprehensively, it is suggested that the suction flow speed range be 7-8 m/s. © 2022, Central South University Press. All right reserved.
