摘要

Gravity sedimentation is universally used for solid-liquid separation in the mineral processing andwater treatment industries. Key to the unit’s performance (throughput, underflow density, overflowclarity) is the feedwell design. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is now beingroutinely used to assess thickener feedwell performance, both for new and retrofit units, and as partof wider R&D development for improved feedwell design. This is currently an active area of R&Dwith a number of new-generation feedwell designs recently coming onto the market.Feedwell design is complex and challenging since the feedwell must simultaneously fill a number ofcompeting roles. Firstly, it must slow the incoming feed stream and dissipate its momentum beforedistributing it evenly and gently across the mud bed. Secondly, it must act as a flocculation vessel,using the turbulence generated to mix the feed slurry with flocculant solution and dilution water. Thefeedwell may also be required to deaerate the slurry, provide the required flow of dilution water andcope with process upsets or other changes to the feed (rate, concentration, particle size).Described is the new-generation Outotec Vane Feedwell. The function and interaction of variousdesign elements (vanes, shelf and deflector cone) is discussed in relation to overall flow pattern,solids concentration, dilution, mixing, shear and exit flow distribution.
