Title: Improvements in Apparatus to be used in the Separation and Recovery of Sulphides from their Ores.
Inventor: GILLIES JAMES HYNDES
Filed: 1904-09-19
Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 20,159. Gillies, J. H. Sept. 19. Washing ores.-Relates to apparatus wherein pulverized ores or tailings are treated with an active chemical liquid, and the sulphide and the dross are separately delivered to receptacles, the most important point of the invention consisting in the method of introducing fresh liquid to the vessel near the outlets of the sulphide and dross 'respectively. The apparatus consists of a metallic, stepped, conical vessel A, surrounded by a steam or hot-fluid heating-jacket B, and provided internally with a series of triangular annular blocks C, be. tween each pair of which is a space D. The blocks are preferably made of glass. At the top of the vessel is an annular baffle R and above this is a conical hood 0 over which the pulverized ore is delivered from a receptacle S. A funnel E is provided below the lowest block. The liquid is supplied from an upper tank by a tube M to a receptacle L', and is delivered by tube K to two valved tubes H, J; the amount of discharge being automatically governed by a valve L actuated by a float N in a chamber placed in communication with the vessel A by means of a pipe N<1>. In use, the liquid is allowed to enter until it nearly fills the vessel A. The ore is then allowed to fall evenly down the hood to the chamber A, where it enters the liquid. The sulphide particles are then acted upon, and, becoming lighter in consequence of the gaseous bubbles which adhere to them, rise np over or between the blocks C and pass into the inner space. Here the gases are given off, and then escape together with steam through the outlet P, while the sulphide settles and passes away through the tube F to the receptacle F<1>. The unactedupon dross flows continuously down the steps of the vessel A, and passes away through the tube G to the receptacle G<2>. The cold liquid is preferably 'delivered by the pipes J, H immediately over the entrances to the tubes F, G, so that the heated liquid in the upper parts of the apparatus is not reduced in temperature, and the level of the liquid is not affected, the amount of fresh liquid being regulated so as to be equal to that flowing away.
