Abstract

Disclosed is an underground coal preparation process adopting a water medium, comprising: feeding raw coal into a special underground compact jigging machine to discharge overflow clean coal being dewatered through a φ1 mm fixed screen and screened through a φ13 mm classifying screen, and dewatering powder clean coal with a particle size less than 13 mm to obtain powder clean coal and a centrifugate; grading jigging middling coal by means of a φ13 mm classifying screen into block middling coal and powder middling coal, and dewatering the powder middling coal to obtain powder middling coal and a centrifugal liquid; and sending produced coal slime water to a water medium classifying and separation cyclone, and the obtained coarse middling coal slime and coarse clean coal slime respectively passing through a coarse middling and clean coal slime sieve bends, and then being dewatered.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An underground coal separation process adopting a water medium, comprising the following steps:
directly feeding an exploited raw coal into a special underground compact jigging machine without going up to a well for separation to obtain an overflow clean coal, a jigging middling coal and a jigging gangue, wherein the jigging gangue is applied to underground filling;
feeding the overflow clean coal into a φ1 mm fixed screen for predewatering to obtain an oversize clean coal and an undersize water discharged under the screen and containing a clean coal with a particle size less than 1 mm, feeding the undersize water into a coal slime pool, feeding the oversize clean coal into a first φ13 mm classifying screen for separation to obtain a block clean coal with a particle size greater than 13 mm and a first powder clean coal with a particle size less than 13 mm, wherein the block clean coal is discharged as a clean coal product, the first powder clean coal is fed into a clean coal centrifugal dewatering machine for dewatering to obtain a second powder clean coal and a first centrifugate, the second powder clean coal is discharged as a clean coal product, and the first centrifugate is fed into the coal slime pool;
feeding the jigging middling coal into a second φ13 mm classifying screen by a discharging mechanism for classification, and separating to obtain a block middling coal with a particle size greater than 13 mm and a first powder middling coal with a particle size less than 13 mm, wherein the block middling coal is discharged as a middling coal product, the first powder middling coal with a particle size less than 13 mm is fed into a middling coal centrifugal dewatering machine for dewatering to obtain a second powder middling coal and a second centrifugate, the second powder middling coal is discharged as a middling coal product, and the second centrifugate is fed into the coal slime pool;
mixing the undersize water containing a clean coal with a particle size less than 1 mm, the first centrifugate and the second centrifugate in the coal slime pool to obtain a coal slime water, feeding the coal slime water into a water medium classifying and separation cyclone by a slurry pump, classifying the coal slime water at the first section of the water medium classifying and separation cyclone, enabling an underflow after first-section classification to enter a second section of the cyclone for separation to obtain a first coarse clean coal slime of a second-section overflow and a first coarse middling coal slime of the underflow, feeding the first coarse middling coal slime of the underflow into a coarse middling coal slime sieve bend, feeding the first coarse clean coal slime into a coarse clean coal slime sieve bend for dewatering, returning a sieve bend underflow of the coarse middling coal slime sieve bend and a sieve bend underflow of the coarse clean coal slime sieve bend to the coal slime pool to obtain a predewatered coarse middling coal slime above the coarse middling coal slime sieve bend and obtain predewatered coarse clean coal slime above the coarse clean coal slime sieve bend, feeding the predewatered coarse middling coal slime into a coarse middling coal slime centrifugal dewatering machine for dewatering to obtain a second coarse middling coal slime and a third centrifugate, discharging the second coarse middling coal slime as a middling coal product, feeding the predewatered coarse clean coal slime into a coarse clean coal slime centrifugal dewatering machine for dewatering to obtain a second coarse clean coal slime and a fourth centrifugate, discharging the second coarse clean coal slime as a clean coal product, and returning the third centrifugate and the fourth centrifugate to the coal slime pool; and
feeding first-section overflow into a stirring barrel, adding a sedimentation-promoting medicament into the stirring barrel through a medicament adding box and completely stirring to obtain a pretreated coal slime water, feeding the pretreated coal slime water into a roadway high-efficiency concentrator for sedimentation to obtain an overflow and a concentrator underflow, feeding the overflow of the roadway high-efficiency concentrator into a clarifying pool to serve as a circulating water, performing filter pressing and dewatering on the concentrator underflow of the roadway high-efficiency concentrator by a filter press to obtain a coal slime and a filter press filtrate, discharging the coal slime, and feeding the filter press filtrate into the clarifying pool.

2. The underground coal separation process adopting a water medium according to claim 1 , wherein the first centrifugate may still contain part of coarse clean coal slimes after being classified and separated by the cyclone and being centrifuged and dewatered, so the first centrifugate is fed into the coal slime pool; and the second centrifugate contains coarse middling coal slimes and existing coarse particles will affect the work of the concentrator, so the second centrifugate is fed into the coal slime pool.

3. The underground coal separation process adopting a water medium according to claim 1 , wherein a model of the special underground compact jigging machine is JYT-J series, a model of the roadway high-efficiency concentrator is YT-N series, and specific model parameters are determined according to requirements of an on-site process.

4. The underground coal separation process adopting a water medium according to claim 1 , wherein a liquid in the clarifying pool serves as a circulating water after being sedimented and separated, and the circulating water in the clarifying pool is conveyed to a circulating water inlet of the special underground compact jigging machine.
