Abstract:Through the analysis of the process characteristics of the tailings transport system of a large mine, this paper expounds the design idea and method of high-concentration tailings pressure transport. Considering the two core equipment for slurry pipeline transport at present, the process and overall configuration of the slurry pump and diaphragm pump transport schemes are introduced in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of the two schemes are compared and analyzed in terms of engineering investment, operating cost, maintenance and management, environmental impact, etc., and the appropriate transportation scheme is selected. For different tailings transport pressures, this paper proposes general principles for equipment selection of high-concentration and large-flow tailings transport systems. The project we studied also provides reference for tailings transport system design under high-concentration, large-flow, medium-lift conditions.
