Abstract

The invention relates to a rotor used in the flotation mechanism in the concentration of ores. According to the invention, upper part of the rotor chambers under the rotor cover are formed to be downward inclined from the outer edge of the chambers into the core so that they form an angle between 5 to 70 degrees with the horizontal plane. In addition the upper surface of the rotor cover can be inclined upwards raising from around the rotor shaft towards the outer edge at an angle between 5-70 degrees. With the means inside and above the rotor the slurry is directed upwards through the stator of the flotation mechanism. The developed rotor improves the suspension of coarse particles with high specific gravity within a flotation machine. The invention relates also to a method for inverting the material flow discharing from the rotor.

A rotor according to claim 1, characterized in that chambers (15,20) of the rotor (11) are equipped with a slurry directing plate (27) underneath the cover plate (21), which directing plate is joined from the outer edge (29) to the cover plate and from other sides to the rotor blades the directing plate reaching downward to the core (28) of the pumping chamber at an angle between 5 - 70 degrees.
3. A rotor according to claim 1, characterized in that the rotor blades (8) form separate air chambers (9,19) and pumping chambers (20) of which the upper part of the pumping chambers (20) under the rotor cover plate (12,21) are formed to be downward inclined from the outer edge (18,25) of the rotor cover into the core (17,28) of the pumping chambers so that they form an angle between 5 - 70 degrees with the horizontal plane.
4. A rotor according to claim 1, characterized in that the rotor cover plate (21) is equipped with an annular upper surface plate (22) which inner edge (23) is attached to the cover plate around the shaft (6), the upper surface plate raising from around the shaft towards its outer edge (24) at an angle between 5 - 70 ° with the horizontal plane.
5. A rotor according to claim 1, characterized in that the upper surface plate (229 is joined at its outer edge (24) to the outer edge (25) of the rotor cover plate with the aid of a vertical plate (26).
6. A rotor according to a preceding claim, characterized in that the surface of means (13,14) or plates (27,22) towards the slurry is straight.
7. A rotor according to a preceding claim, characterized in that the surface of means (13,14) or plates (27,22) towards the slurry is curved, concave or convex.
8. A method for directing a slurry flow in a mixing zone of a flotation machine with the aid of a flotation mechanism which forms of a stator around a rotor wherein the rotor is downward tapered and rotor blades under a cover form slots for slurry and/or air, the rotor being suspended from a shaft through which the air is conducted to the rotor, characterized in that in order to flotate coarse particles and having a high specific gravity, the slung flow discharging the rotor is directed upwards and the slurry flow above the rotor is directed upwards.
9. A method according to claim 8, characterized in that the slurry flow discharging the rotor is directed upwards by formulating the upper part of the slots downward inclined from their outer edge into the core so that they form an angle between 5 to 70 ° with the horizontal plane.
10. A method according to claim 8, characterized in that the slurry flow above the rotor is directed upwards by inclining the upper surface of the rotor cover plate upwards raising from around the shaft towards the outer edge at an angle between 5 - 70 degrees with the horizontal plane.
11. A method according to claim 8, characterized in that coarse particles have a size above P80 = 180 µm.
