この発明は、 河川 (河川は勿論、 湖 ·沼を含む) などにおける砂金や金鉱石を 含んだ砂層などを吸引掘削し、 これを比重の差を利用して分別し、砂金及び Z又 は金鉱石 (以下、 本明細書において、 これら砂金又は、 金鉱石又は、 砂金及び金 鉱石を総称して 「砂金等」 という) を採取することを目的とした砂金等の採取方 法及びこれに用いる砂金等の採取船に関するものである。 また、 この発明は砂金 等を含んだ砂層などを吸弓 I掘削して地上に持ち上げ、 これを一定速度で移送する 間に、 砂金等を比重の差を利用して分別することを目的とした砂金等の掘削方法 及びそのシステムに関するものである。 更に、 この発明は、 砂金等を含む岩石や、 鉱物の混合物から砂金等を磁力を利用して分離することを目的とした砂金等の分 方法及びそのシステムに関するものである。 The present invention suctions and excavates gold deposits and sand layers containing gold ore in rivers (including lakes and marshes as well as rivers), and separates them by utilizing the difference in specific gravity to separate gold and Z or gold or gold. A method of collecting gold dust, etc., for the purpose of collecting ore (hereinafter, gold dust or gold ore, and gold dust and gold ore is collectively referred to as “gold dust”), and gold dust used for this purpose And so on. Another object of the present invention is to excavate a sand layer containing gold dust and the like, excavate it and lift it to the ground, and separate the gold dust and the like by using a difference in specific gravity while transporting it at a constant speed. The present invention relates to a method of excavating gold dust and the like and a system therefor. Further, the present invention relates to a method and a system for separating gold dust or the like for separating gold dust or the like from a rock or a mixture of minerals using a magnetic force.
背景技術 Background art
従来、河川 (河川は勿論、 湖 ·沼を含む) 等の砂層に混入している砂金等を採 取するには、人力により掬い上げた砂類を洗つて分離することが大部分であり、 砂金等が含まれている砂層を掘削して得た砂類を水簸して砂金等を分別して ヽた。 前記の掘削は、 機械によって掘削するものであり、 砂金等を含んでいる層が大 深度の所に位置している場合には、 掘削手段がないものとされていた。 このよう な場合、例えば、 広大な穴を非常に深く掘削し、 砂金等を含んでいる砂層のみを 掘り出して分別、 移送することとすれば、 現有技術による処理も不可能ではない が、 このような方法は、 採算がとれないものであり、砂金等を含んでいる層が大 深度の所に位置している場合には放置されていた。 Conventionally, in order to collect gold dust mixed in sand layers of rivers (including lakes and marshes as well as rivers), washing and separation of sand that has been scooped up by human power is mostly performed. Sands obtained by excavating the sand layer containing gold dust were elutriated to separate the gold dust. In the excavation, the excavation is performed by a machine. When the layer containing the gold dust is located at a deep place, there is no excavation means. In such a case, for example, if a very large hole is excavated very deeply, and only the sand layer containing gold dust is excavated and separated and transported, it is not impossible to treat with the existing technology. The most expensive method is unprofitable, and it has been neglected if the layer containing gold dust is located at a large depth.
また、前記のように砂金等が含まれている砂層を掘削して得た砂類を水簸して 砂金等を分別していたので、 広大な設備が必要とされる反面、 能率の向上はむつ かしく、 画期的な砂金等の分別方法は未だ提案されていなかつた。 すなわち、 従来の人力による水簸は、 重労働になるのみならず、 効率が悪いの で砂金等の含まれている割合が小さ tゝ砂層の場合には採算がとれない問題点があ つた。 また 掘削した砂類を水簸する場合においても、 遐犬な量の砂類を水簸 しなければならないので、砂金等の含まれている割合が大きいところでなければ 採算べ一スに乗せることはむつかしく、 採算ベースに乗るのは、 砂金等が含まれ ている割合が、 特に、 大きい場合に限られていた。 Further, as described above, sands obtained by excavating a sand layer containing gold dust and the like were elutriated to separate gold dust and the like.Thus, although extensive facilities were required, improvement in efficiency was not achieved. Difficult and groundbreaking methods for sorting gold dust have not yet been proposed. In other words, conventional elutriation by manual labor is not only heavy labor, but also has the problem that it is not profitable if the ratio of sand containing small amount of sand is small due to its low efficiency. Even when excavated sand is elutriated, a large amount of sand must be elutriated. Difficultly, the profitability was limited to the case where the ratio of gold dust etc. was particularly large.
—方、 現在知られている砂金等を含む層は、 地表から 1 0 0 0 m又はそれ以上 の深度に亘つて堆積していると考えられている力 現状は地表から 5 π!〜 2 O m の掘削が限度であり、 特に地下水位が 5 m〜 1 0 mの地域においては地下水位よ り深いところに存在している砂層の掘削は採算ベースに乗らないと考えら 総 て廃鉱となっている。 即ち、 砂金等を含む層が地表から 1 0 0 O m又はそれ以上 の深度に存在している場合には、 採算ベースに乗るような掘削方法及び移送方法 がないとされていた。 On the other hand, the currently known layer containing gold dust etc. is believed to have been deposited over a depth of 100 m or more from the ground surface. Excavation of up to 2 O m is the limit, especially in areas where the groundwater level is 5 m to 10 m.Excavation of the sand layer that is deeper than the groundwater level is considered not to be profitable. It is abandoned ore. In other words, when the layer containing gold dust or the like exists at a depth of 100 Om or more from the ground surface, there is no excavation method or transfer method that can be used on a profitable basis.
更に、 従来行われていた砂金等の比重の差を利用した水簸分別 (いわゆる比重 選) は、 砂金等を水と共に、 広い ®¾に亘つて流下し、 水簸するものであつたの で、 分離効率が悪く、分離のために、 広大な を必要とするのみならず、比重 選で得た砂金等は、 人力により集められるので、 多量 には多数の人手を必要 とする問題点があり、 採金コストの高騰原因の一つとされていた。 また従来行わ れていた水簸分別は比重選であるから、 自然流下 (落差による) 方式が採用され ており、 ポンプ等による強制的な多量の送流は提案されていなかった。 発明の開示 Furthermore, in the conventional elutriation separation using the difference in the specific gravity of gold or the like (so-called specific gravity selection), the gold or the like flows down along with water over a wide area and is elutriated. However, the separation efficiency is poor, and not only requires a vast amount for separation, but also gold dust and the like obtained by specific gravity selection are collected by human power, so there is a problem that a large amount of human labor is required. It was considered one of the causes of soaring collection costs. In addition, since elutriation separation, which has been conventionally performed, is gravity selection, a natural flow (by head) method has been adopted, and forcible large-volume transmission using a pump or the like has not been proposed. Disclosure of the invention
この発明は、 砂金等を含んだ砂層を掘削し、 この砂層から掘削された砂類 ( 「砂金等や、砂、土砂、 さまざまな鉱物、 岩石などが含まれている混合物」であ るが、以下本明細書において「砂 ®J という) を強制的に流動させつつ、比重の 差を利用して、 砂金等を分別するので、 砂金等の分別に要する労力が小さく、 し かも大量処理が可能となつて、 前記従来の問題点を解決したのである。 The present invention relates to excavation of a sand layer containing gold dust and the like, and sand excavated from the sand layer ("a mixture containing gold dust, sand, earth and sand, various minerals, rocks, etc." Hereinafter, in this specification, “sand®J” is forcibly fluidized, and the difference in specific gravity is used to separate the gold dust, etc., so that the labor required to separate the gold dust is small and large-scale processing is possible. Thus, the above-mentioned conventional problem was solved.
即ちこの発明が提案する砂金等の採取方法は、 河川 (河川は勿論、 湖 ·沼を含 む) 等の水の下側に存在している砂金等を含む砂層を吸引掘削し、 掘削した砂類 を所望の速度で移送させると共に、 比重の差を利用して砂金等を分別する手段を 用いて、 砂金等を分別し、 採取することを特徴とした砂金等の採取方法である。 前記において、 比重の差を利用して砂金等を分別する手段は、 砂類と水との混合 物を移送中に、 その流速を変化させ、 比重の大きい砂金等を沈降させて分別する 構成にすることができる。 また、 これに代えて、 砂類と水との混合物に遠心力を 付与し、 比重の大きい砂金等とそれ以外の比重の小さいものとを、 内外に分別す るように構成することもできる。 更に、 これら二種類の手段を併用することもで さる。 In other words, the method of collecting gold dust and the like proposed by the present invention is as follows: a sand layer containing gold dust and the like existing under water such as a river (including a river and a lake and a swamp) is sucked and excavated; Kind This method is characterized in that gold is transported at a desired speed, and gold dust and the like are separated and collected by using means for separating gold and the like using a difference in specific gravity. In the above, the means for separating gold dust and the like using the difference in specific gravity is configured to change the flow velocity during the transfer of a mixture of sands and water to settle and separate the gold dust and the like having a large specific gravity. can do. Alternatively, centrifugal force may be applied to the mixture of sands and water to separate the gold dust having a large specific gravity and the other materials having a small specific gravity into and out of the mixture. Furthermore, these two types of means may be used in combination.
前記の砂金等の採取方法は、 以下に説明する砂金等の採取船を用いて実施する ことができる。 すなわち、 船体に、 吸引掘削手段、 パイプ移送手段、 比重の差を 利用して砂金等を分別する手段及び砂金等が分別された残りの砂類の排棄手段を 順次連結した砂金等の採取船である。 前記において、 吸引掘削手段は、 吸引パイ プの一端を砂金等を含む砂類の層中に挿入し、他端を、加速手段としての加圧流 体の吹込みノズルが備え付けられた移送パイプに連結したものである。 また、 パ イブ移送手段は、 移送パイプの内側に加圧流体の吹込みノズルを開口し、 移送パ イブ内の砂類と水との混合物をその移送速度を加速させつつ移送パイプ内で移送 する構成としたものである。 また、 前記における比重の差を利用して砂金等を分 別する手段は、 移送パイプの一部に該移送パイプの断面積より大きい断面積の分 別匣を連結し、 該分別匣内での流速低下を利用して砂金等を沈降させる構成とし たものである。 これに代えて、 移送パイプの一部に遠心分離手段を介装すること もできる。 この遠心分離手段は、 円筒状の外槽壁に接線方向から砂類と水との混 合物を加圧して吹込み、 これを前記円筒槽の内壁に沿って螺旋状に旋回させ、 前 記混合物を比重別に内外に分布させて、 砂金等を分別する遠心分離機とすること ができる。 なお、 比重の差を利用して砂金等を分別する手段として前記二種類の 手段を併用することもできる。 The above-mentioned method for collecting gold dust or the like can be carried out using a boat for collecting gold dust or the like described below. In other words, a vessel for collecting gold dust, etc., in which the hull is sequentially connected with suction digging means, pipe transfer means, means for separating gold dust using the difference in specific gravity, and means for discarding the remaining sand from which the gold dust has been separated. It is. In the above, the suction and excavation means inserts one end of the suction pipe into a layer of sand containing gold dust and the like, and connects the other end to a transfer pipe provided with a pressurized fluid blowing nozzle as an acceleration means. It was done. Further, the pipe transfer means opens a pressurized fluid injection nozzle inside the transfer pipe, and transfers the mixture of sand and water in the transfer pipe within the transfer pipe while accelerating the transfer speed. It is configured. Further, the means for separating gold dust or the like by using the difference in specific gravity in the above is to connect a separation box having a cross-sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area of the transfer pipe to a part of the transfer pipe, It is designed to settle down gold dust etc. by utilizing flow velocity reduction. Alternatively, centrifugal separation means can be interposed in a part of the transfer pipe. This centrifugal separation means pressurizes and blows a mixture of sand and water into a cylindrical outer tank wall from a tangential direction, and spirally turns the mixture along the inner wall of the cylindrical tank, The mixture can be distributed inside and outside according to specific gravity, and can be used as a centrifuge for separating gold dust and the like. The above two types of means can be used in combination as a means for separating gold dust or the like by utilizing a difference in specific gravity.
この発明における 段中、 出願前公知の同一効果を奏する技術は、 何れもこ の発明に適用することができる。 In the process of the present invention, any technology having the same effect as that known before the filing of the application can be applied to the present invention.
この発明は、 砂層中に混在する砂金等を分別採取しょうとするもので、 砂金等 とそれ以外のものの比重が著しく違う点を有利に利用したものであるが、 特に砂 金等を含んだ砂類と水との混合物を強制的に流動させて移送させている最中に分 別処理することにより、 従来知られているような大型の水簸装置が不要となり、 効率よく分別することができる。 また砂金等力分別された残りの砂類は、 そのま ま河川に戻すので、 不要な砂類の処理に多大の労力と時間を使用する必要性がな い。 The present invention is intended to separate and collect gold dust and the like mixed in a sand layer, and advantageously exploits the fact that the specific gravity of the gold dust and the other materials is significantly different. Separation of the mixture of sand and water containing gold etc. while forcibly flowing and transporting it eliminates the need for a large-scale elutriation device, as is conventionally known. You can sort well. In addition, the remaining sand separated by power, such as gold dust, is returned to the river as it is, so there is no need to use a great deal of labor and time to dispose of unnecessary sand.

The present invention can be adopted even when the water depth is deep in lakes and swamps. For example, even when the water depth is 10 m to 100 m or more, if the ship is excavated by suction using a jet pump and lifted up on a ship by a transfer pipe, the onboard treatment according to the above invention is performed. There is nothing different. However, in the case described above, a jet pump and necessary power should be installed on the ship, the water should be transferred by a transfer pipe, and separation means and other processing equipment should be installed on the shore of the lake or swamp. become.
前記の場合には、 湖 ·沼の浚渫と、 砂金等の採取とを兼用し、 産金と湖,沼の 老化防止とを一挙に達成できる利点がある。 In the above case, there is an advantage that the production of gold and the prevention of aging of the lake and swamp can be achieved at once by using both the dredging of the lake and the swamp and the collection of the gold dust.
前述した本願発明によれば、 砂類と水との混合物の流動速度を加速させるため の手段としてのエアジヱットと、 移送パイプと、 分離匣によって、 砂金等を含ん だ砂類を吸引掘削し、 移送し、 砂金等を効率よく分別できる効果がある。 従って、 従来、 採算上の観点から放置されていた比較的砂金等の含まれている割合の少な い砂類の層であっても、 効率よく採金できる効果がある。 またこの発明によれば、 砂金等を含む砂類と水との混合物の移送中に、 砂金等を分別できるので、 分別ェ 程が簡易化され、 能率を著しく向上することができる。 According to the above-mentioned invention of the present application, sand containing gold dust and the like is sucked and excavated by an air jet as a means for accelerating the flow velocity of a mixture of sand and water, a transfer pipe, and a separation box, and transferred. This has the effect of efficiently separating gold dust and the like. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to efficiently collect money even in a sand layer containing a relatively small amount of gold or the like, which has been conventionally neglected from the viewpoint of profitability. Further, according to the present invention, the gold dust and the like can be separated during the transfer of the mixture of sand and water containing the gold dust and the like, so that the separation process is simplified and the efficiency can be remarkably improved.
次に、 この発明は、 砂類と水との混合物を、 移送パイプに導き、 前記混合物を 加圧流体 (例えば加圧エア) で加速することにより、 砂類の移送問題を解決する と共に、 深層から掘削するという問題も解決したのである。 Next, the present invention solves the problem of transporting sand by guiding a mixture of sand and water to a transfer pipe, and accelerating the mixture with a pressurized fluid (for example, pressurized air). The problem of excavating from the ground was also solved.
即ち、 この発明が提案する砂金等の掘削分別方法は、 砂金等を含む砂類と水と の混合物を吸引して持ち上げ、 これをジエツ ト流体により加速して流動させると 共に、 前記混合物の流動過程で比重の差を利用して砂金等を分別することを特徴 とした砂金類の掘削分別方法である。 より具体的には、 砂金等を含む砂類と水と の混合物を持ち上げる揚砂管を所定の深度まで揷し込み、 前記揚砂管の下端を砂 金等を含む砂類の層に突入させると共に、 揚砂管の上端側に吸引力を付与して砂 金等を含む砂類と水との混合物を地上に持ち上げ、 これを地上にてジエツト流体 により加速して横方向に流動させ、 その流動中に、 前記混合物の流速を変え、比 重の差を利用して砂金等を分別することを特徵とした砂金等の掘肖 I扮別方法であ る。 前記において、 揚砂管の下端を砂金等を含む砂等の層に突入させる際に、 粘 ±sなどの砂類の層以外の層が存在しているときには、 加圧流体を揚砂管の下端 側から噴射し、 これによつて当該粘土層などを破砕して穿孔し、 揚砂管の下端が 砂金等を含む砂類の層に突入するまで揚砂管を土中に挿入させることができる。 前記の砂金等の掘削分別方法は、以下のシステムによつて実施することができ る。 すなわち、 地中の砂金等を含む砂類と水の混合物を持ち上げる揚砂管の上端 部に、 前記混合物を地表に沿つて横方向に移動させる移送ノ N°ィプの一端を連結す ると共に、 ¾1結部付近に前記混合物の流動を加速する加速手段を設置し、 前記 移送パイプの先端側に、 比重の差を利用して砂金等を分別する手段を複数個、 直 列に連結したことを特徵とする砂金等の掘肖 I扮別システムである。 この場合、 前 記揚砂管の上部内側を減圧することにより、 前記混合物が自動的に揚砂管内を通 つて持ち上げられるようにすることができ、 また、 持ち上げられた前記混合物の 進行方向に加圧エアを吹き出して、前記混合物の流動速度を加速するための圧力 を付与する構成にすることができる。 また、 比重の差を利用して砂金等を分別す る手段は、 移送パイプの断面積を変化させ、 断面積が大きくなつたところにおけ る混合物の流速を変えることによって、 当該移送パイプの断面積が大きくなつた ところで砂金等が沈降するように構成することができる。 この、砂金等が沈降す る位置に、 砂金等の収容用の漏斗部を連設し、該漏斗部の下部に取出し口を設け、 取出し口に開閉蓋を取付ける構成を採用すれば、前記開閉蓋の開閉によって、沈 降している砂金等を回収することができる。 In other words, the method for excavating and sorting gold dust and the like proposed by the present invention is to suck and lift a mixture of sand and water containing gold dust and the like, accelerate and flow the mixture with a jet fluid, and flow the mixture. This is a method of excavating and separating gold dust, which uses the difference in specific gravity in the process to separate gold dust and the like. More specifically, a sand pipe for lifting a mixture of sand and water including gold dust and the like is inserted into a predetermined depth, and the lower end of the sand pipe is sanded. The mixture of sand and water containing sand and gold is lifted to the ground by applying suction to the upper end of the sand pipe while rushing into the layer of sand containing gold and the like. In the flowing direction, the flow rate of the mixture is changed, and the difference in specific gravity is used to separate the gold dust and the like. is there. In the above, when the lower end of the sand pipe is inserted into a layer of sand or the like containing gold dust, etc., when a layer other than a sand layer such as viscosity ± s is present, the pressurized fluid is passed through the sand pipe. Injecting from the lower end side, this crushes and perforates the clay layer, etc., and allows the sand tube to be inserted into the soil until the lower end of the sand tube enters the sand layer including gold dust etc. it can. The above-mentioned method for separating and excavating gold dust can be implemented by the following system. That is, one end of a transfer pipe for moving the mixture laterally along the surface of the ground is connected to the upper end of a sand pipe for lifting a mixture of sand and water including underground gold dust and the like. ¾1 An accelerating means for accelerating the flow of the mixture is installed in the vicinity of the junction, and a plurality of means for separating gold dust or the like utilizing a difference in specific gravity are connected in series at the tip side of the transfer pipe. This is a system for distinguishing gold dust and the like. In this case, the mixture can be automatically lifted through the sand pipe by reducing the pressure inside the upper part of the sand pipe, and the mixture can be added in the traveling direction of the lifted mixture. A configuration may be employed in which pressure air is blown out to apply pressure for accelerating the flow rate of the mixture. Means for separating gold dust and the like by using the difference in specific gravity is to change the cross-sectional area of the transfer pipe and change the flow velocity of the mixture at the place where the cross-sectional area becomes large, thereby cutting the transfer pipe. When the area becomes large, it can be configured so that gold dust and the like settle. If a configuration in which a funnel for accommodating gold dust or the like is continuously provided at a position where the gold dust or the like settles, an outlet is provided at the lower part of the funnel, and an opening / closing lid is provided at the outlet, the above-described opening and closing can be achieved. By opening and closing the lid, sedimented gold dust can be collected.
また、前記混合物の流動を加速する加速手段を移送パイプの適所に設ければ、 移送パイプの敷設距離が長大であっても、 円滑容易に移送することができる。 この発明は、砂類と水との混合物 (例えば水分 6 0〜8 0 %) を移送パイプに 導き、 この混合物の流動を、 加圧流体 (例えば加圧エア又は加圧水) によって加 速させるもので、 移送パイプの内径の 8 0 %までの大きさの固形物であっても容 易に流動させることができる。 Further, if an acceleration means for accelerating the flow of the mixture is provided at an appropriate position of the transfer pipe, the transfer can be performed smoothly even if the transfer pipe is laid long. According to the present invention, a mixture of sands and water (for example, 60 to 80% moisture) is guided to a transfer pipe, and the flow of the mixture is accelerated by a pressurized fluid (for example, pressurized air or pressurized water). Even solids up to 80% of the inside diameter of the transfer pipe are acceptable. It can be made to flow easily.
前記混合物を流動させる際の、 経済的観点から見た好ましい流速は、 移送パイ プの直径、 加圧流体 (例えば加圧エア又は加圧水) の圧力、 揚砂管が挿入されて いる砂層の深度、 すなわち掘削深度などにより異なる力 lm〜5mZs e cは ¾ϋ可能な範囲であり、 各種条件力異なる場合であっても 2 π!〜 3 mZs e cは 無理なく実用になる速度である。 The preferred flow rate from an economic point of view when flowing the mixture is the diameter of the transfer pipe, the pressure of the pressurized fluid (eg pressurized air or water), the depth of the sand layer into which the sand pipe is inserted, In other words, the force lm to 5mZs ec that varies depending on the excavation depth is within the allowable range, and 2π! ~ 3 mZsec is a speed that can be practically used without difficulty.
移送パイプの内径は理論上特別の制約はないが、 効率及び取扱いの容易性を考 慮すれば内径 0, 3m〜 1 mが支障の少ない寸法である。 Although there is no particular limitation on the inner diameter of the transfer pipe in theory, the inner diameter of 0.3 m to 1 m is a size that does not hinder the efficiency and ease of handling.
例えば内径 0. 6mの移送パイプで、 毎秒 3mの速度で、 水分 75%の砂等と 水との混合物を移送すれば、 次のようになる。 1秒間に 0. 84m3 、 1分間で は、 50. 8m3 、 1時間では、 3. 052m3 、 10時間で、 ほぼ 30000 m3 の前記混合物を移送できることになる。 すなわち、 水分 75%とすれば、 砂 等を 10時間で 7500m3 (約 19, 000トン) 移送できることになる。 前記のように、 10時間で 20, 000トン弱の砂類を掘削し、 移送できるこ とになる。 砂金層における砂金の含有量は著しく幅広く、 一概に判断することは できないが、 仮に 0. 1% (現在採算割れとされている貧鉱) でも、 1日に 10 時間、 本発明のシステムを稼働させることにより、 日産 20トン弱の砂金等を採 取できることになる。 For example, when a mixture of water and sand with 75% water content is transferred at a speed of 3 m / s through a transfer pipe with an inner diameter of 0.6 m, the following results are obtained. In 0. 84m 3, 1 minute per second, in 50. 8m 3, 1 hour, at 3. 052m 3, 10 hours, would be capable of transporting substantially the mixtures of 30000 m 3. In other words, if the water content is 75%, sand and the like can be transferred in 7,500m 3 (about 19,000 tons) in 10 hours. As mentioned above, less than 20,000 tons of sand can be excavated and transported in 10 hours. The gold dust content in the gold dust layer is remarkably wide and cannot be determined in general. However, even if 0.1% (poor ore, which is currently considered unprofitable), the system of the present invention is operated for 10 hours a day. By doing so, it is possible to collect less than 20 tons / day of gold dust.
この発明により、 揚砂管を垂直に設置した場合に、 水位 5m、 揚砂管の下端深 さを 100mとすれば、 下端には水柱 95mの水圧が掛つていることになる。 従 つて地表より深さ 25 mまでの砂類と水との混合物を取除くように揚砂管の上端 側から吸引すれば、 水柱 2 Omの圧力差で砂類と水との混合物が揚砂管中を上昇 することになる。 この点は、 揚砂管の下端深さが 20 On!〜 30 Omとなっても 変りはないので、 揚砂手段としては、 常時、 地表から深さ 25 mの間の砂類と水 との混合物を取除くエネルギーを付与すれば、 深度 10 Om. 20 Om, 等の砂 層を連続して掘削できることになる。 即ち、 著しく小さいエネルギーで深度の大 きいところに存在している砂金等を含有している砂類の層を掘削し、 砂金等の分 別処理を行うことができる。 According to the present invention, if the sand pipe is installed vertically and the water level is 5m and the lower end of the sand pipe is 100m deep, the lower end will have a water pressure of 95m. Therefore, if the mixture of sand and water up to a depth of 25 m from the surface is sucked from the upper end of the sand pipe to remove the mixture, the mixture of sand and water is lifted by a pressure difference of 2 Om in the water column. It will rise in the pipe. At this point, the bottom depth of the sand pipe is 20 On! Even if it reaches ~ 30 Om, there is no change.If the energy for removing the mixture of sand and water at a depth of 25 m from the surface is constantly applied to the sand, a depth of 10 Om. It will be possible to continuously excavate sand layers such as Om. In other words, it is possible to excavate a layer of sand containing gold and the like that exists at a large depth with extremely low energy, and perform a separation process of the gold and the like.
この発明によれば、 砂金等が含まれている砂類を、 地中の深いところから吸引 して持ち上げ、 こうして持ち上げた砂類と水との混合物を移送パイプで水平方向 に流動させている間に、 比重の差を利用して、 砂金等を分別するので、 大量の砂 類を能率よく、 かつ自動的に処理できる効果がある。 また非常に深度の大きいと ころに存在している砂類の層から砂類と水との混合物を持ち上げ、 自動的に砂金 等を分別できるので、 従来掘削不能とされていた廃鉱から、 採算ベースに乗せて、 採金し得る効果がある。 According to the present invention, sand containing gold dust and the like is sucked from deep underground. While the mixture of sand and water lifted in this way is flowed horizontally by a transfer pipe, the difference in specific gravity is used to separate gold dust, etc., so that large amounts of sand can be efficiently handled. There is an effect that can be processed automatically. In addition, a mixture of sand and water can be lifted from the sand layer existing at very large depths, and gold dust can be automatically separated. It has the effect of collecting money.
更に、 この発明は、 砂金等の弱磁性に着目し、 高磁力を採用することにより砂 金等を吸着し分別することに成功し、 採金の全自動化、効率化及び低コスト化を 可能にし、前記従来の問題点を解決したのである。 Furthermore, the present invention pays attention to the weak magnetism of gold dust and the like, and succeeds in adsorbing and separating gold dust and the like by adopting a high magnetic force, thereby making it possible to fully automate the collection, increase efficiency and reduce costs. This solves the conventional problem.
即ち、 この発明が提案する砂金等の分別方法は、 砂金等を含む砂類と水との混 合物を、 磁場内に送流させ、 砂金等を磁力によって吸着し、 分別することを特徴 とするものである。 すなわち、 砂金等を含む砂類と水との混合物を、 磁場を生じ させている移送パイプ内に送流し、磁力によって砂金等を前記移送パイプ内壁に 磁着させ、 こうして砂金等が分別された残りの砂類と水との混合物を前記移送パ イブを通じて所定箇所に排出し、 その後、 磁場を消滅させて前記移送パイプ内壁 への砂金等の磁着を解除すると共に、 清掃用の流体を前記移送パイプ内に送流し、 前記砂金等を当該清掃用の流体により、 所定箇所に流動させ、 回収することを特 徵とした砂金等の分別方法である。 前記において、 砂金等を含む砂類と水との混 合物、清掃用の流体は、 それぞれ、 加圧して流動力を付与することによって、 移 送パイプ内を流動させることができる。 また砂金等を含む砂類と水との混合物は、 水を 7 0 %〜 9 0 %とすることが好ましく、 清掃用の流体には水を用いることが できる。 また、 磁場の強さは 5 0 0 0ガウス〜 2 0万ガウスとすること力く好まし い。 That is, the method for separating gold dust and the like proposed by the present invention is characterized in that a mixture of sand and water containing the gold dust and the like is sent into a magnetic field, and the gold dust and the like are adsorbed and separated by magnetic force. Is what you do. That is, a mixture of sand and water containing gold dust and the like is sent into a transfer pipe generating a magnetic field, and the gold dust and the like are magnetically attached to the inner wall of the transfer pipe by a magnetic force. The mixture of sand and water is discharged to a predetermined location through the transfer pipe, and then the magnetic field is extinguished to release the magnetic adhesion of gold dust or the like to the inner wall of the transfer pipe, and the cleaning fluid is transferred to the transfer pipe. This is a method for separating gold dust and the like, which is characterized in that it is sent into a pipe, the gold dust and the like are caused to flow to a predetermined location by the cleaning fluid, and collected. In the above, the mixture of sand and water, including gold dust, and the cleaning fluid can be caused to flow in the transfer pipe by applying a fluid force by applying pressure. Further, the mixture of sand and water, including gold dust, preferably contains 70% to 90% of water, and water can be used as a cleaning fluid. The strength of the magnetic field is preferably 500 to 200,000 gauss.
前記の砂金等の分別方法は、 以下に説明するシステムによつて実施することが できる。 すなわち、 砂金等を含む砂類と水とを混合して混合物とする混合手段、 該混合物を金属製の円筒内に送流する送流手段、 該金属円筒の外側に設置した磁 界発生手段、前記金属製円筒内への清掃用流体の送流手段、砂金等が分別された 残りの前記混合物を排液槽へ送流する手段及び分別された砂金等と清掃用流体と の混合物の排出手段とを順次結合したことを特徵とする砂金等の分別システムで ある。 前記において、 混合物を金属製の円筒内に送流する送流手段は、 ジエツ ト 流体を吹出すことによって、 あるいはポンプによつて混合物に流動力を与える構 成とし、 清掃流体の送流手段はポンプによつて移送する構成とすることができる。 また、 前記における磁界発生手段は、 5 0 0 0ガウス〜 2 0万ガウスの間での異 なる強さの磁場を発生し得る複数個の磁界発生手段を、 金属製の円筒内の前記混 合物の流動方向に沿って、 金属製の円筒外周に順次設置したもので、 これら複数 個の磁界発生手段全体を同時に作動させ、 停止させることもできるし、 個別に、 ¾¾、 停止させるように構成することもできる。 The method for separating gold dust and the like can be implemented by a system described below. Mixing means for mixing a sand containing gold and the like with water to form a mixture; sending means for sending the mixture into a metal cylinder; magnetic field generating means provided outside the metal cylinder; A means for sending a cleaning fluid into the metal cylinder, a means for sending the remaining mixture from which the gold dust and the like are separated to a drainage tank, and a means for discharging a mixture of the separated gold and the like and the cleaning fluid And a separation system for gold dust etc. is there. In the above, the sending means for sending the mixture into the metal cylinder is configured to give a fluid force to the mixture by blowing a jet fluid or by a pump, and the sending means for the cleaning fluid is The structure which transfers by a pump can be used. The magnetic field generating means may include a plurality of magnetic field generating means capable of generating magnetic fields of different strengths between 500 and 200,000 gauss, and These are sequentially installed on the outer periphery of a metal cylinder along the flow direction of the object, and these multiple magnetic field generating means can be activated and stopped simultaneously, or can be individually and individually stopped. You can also.
前記のシステムにおいては、 金属製の円筒の外側へ、 強さの異なる磁場を生じ させるべく複数の電磁コイルを、 金属製の円筒内の前記混合物の流動方向に沿つ て、 順次設置する構成にすることができる。 例えば、 5 0 0 0ガウス、 2万ガウ ス、 5万ガウス、 2 0万ガウスの強さの磁界を生成し得る 4個の電磁コイルを設 置し、 特定の電磁コイルにのみ通電して、 特定の強さ、 例えば 5 0 0 0ガウス、 の磁界を発生させたり、 4種類の強さの磁界を同時に発生させることもできる。 前記において、 砂金は、 弱磁性の粒子であるので、 砂金や金を含有している弱 磁性の鉱石は、 2 0万ガウスや 5万ガウスなどの強い磁場が発生している部位に おける金属製の円筒内壁に磁着し、 金を含有している強磁性の鉱石は、 5 0 0 0 ガウスのように弱い磁場が発生している部位における金属製の円筒内壁に磁着し て前記混合物から分別される。 すなわち、 砂金、 金を含有している弱磁性の鉱石、 金を含有している強磁性の鉱石などが、 相互に邪魔し合うことなく、 別々に、 効 率よく分別されるのである。 In the above-described system, a plurality of electromagnetic coils are sequentially installed along the flow direction of the mixture in the metal cylinder to generate magnetic fields having different strengths outside the metal cylinder. can do. For example, four electromagnetic coils capable of generating a magnetic field of 500,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 200,000 gauss are installed, and only certain electromagnetic coils are energized. It is also possible to generate a magnetic field of a specific strength, for example 500 gauss, or to generate magnetic fields of four different strengths at the same time. In the above, since gold dust is a weak magnetic particle, the weak magnetic ore containing gold dust and gold is made of metal at a site where a strong magnetic field such as 200,000 gauss or 50,000 gauss is generated. The ferromagnetic ore containing gold, which is magnetically attached to the inner wall of the cylinder, magnetically attaches to the inner wall of the metal cylinder at a site where a weak magnetic field is generated, such as 500 gauss, from the mixture. Be separated. In other words, gold dust, gold-containing weak magnetic ores, and gold-containing ferromagnetic ores are sorted separately and efficiently without interfering with each other.
更に詳細に説明すれば、 強磁性の粒子 ·物質は、 5 0 0 0ガウスで十分磁着す るが、 強磁性粒子 ·物質と非磁性粒子 ·物質とによって形成されている金鉱石な どは、 強磁性粒子 ·物質の含まれている量により、 磁力の強さが異なるので、 2 万ガウス又は 5万ガウスの位置に磁着する。 一方、 砂金のように弱磁性の粒子 · 物質は 5万ガウス又は 2 0万ガウスの位置に磁着する。 例えば砂金粒子を含む非 磁性鉱物の場合には、 磁力がより小さくなるので 2 0ガウスの位置で磁着される。 前記に反し、 砂金粒子を含む強磁性鉱物の場合には、 5 0 0 0ガウス〜 2万ガウ スでも磁着できることになる。 . More specifically, ferromagnetic particles and substances are sufficiently magnetized at 500 gauss, but gold ore formed by ferromagnetic particles and substances and non-magnetic particles and substances, etc. , Ferromagnetic particles · Since the strength of the magnetic force varies depending on the amount of the substance contained, it is magnetized at a position of 20,000 or 50,000 gauss. On the other hand, weak magnetic particles and substances such as gold dust are magnetically attached at 50,000 or 200,000 gauss. For example, non-magnetic minerals containing gold dust particles are magnetically deposited at a position of 20 gauss because the magnetic force becomes smaller. On the contrary, in the case of a ferromagnetic mineral containing gold dust particles, magnetic adhesion can be performed even at 500,000 gauss to 20,000 gauss. .
前記のように、 砂金等の中の金粒子の状態によって、 磁着する位置力異なり、 その割合も異なる力 同一砂金床又は同"^山における金鉱石の場合には、 概ね 砂金等の状態が一定しているので、 事前に選別試験を行って、 より効率のよい選 別方法を採用することができる。 また砂金等の粒子の状態に最適の磁場の強さを 決めればよいことになる。 例えば 5 0 0 0ガウス、 1万ガウス、 2万ガウス及び 5万ガウスというような組み合せとすることもできることは勿論、 他の磁場の強 さを選定することもできる。 As described above, depending on the state of the gold particles in the placer and the like, the position force for magnetizing is different and the ratio is also different. In the case of gold ore in the same placer bed or the same mountain, the state of the placer is generally Since it is constant, a more efficient screening method can be adopted by conducting a screening test in advance, and the optimum magnetic field strength should be determined for the state of the particles such as gold dust. For example, a combination of 500, 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 Gauss can be used, and other magnetic field strengths can be selected.
強さの異なる磁場を発生し得る電磁コイルのそれぞれについて、 別個独立に、 通電 (磁場を発生させる) 、 電流遮断 (磁場を消滅させる) させれば、 当該電磁 コイルが取り付けられている部位の金属製円筒内壁に磁着していた砂金等のみを 清掃用の流体によって取出すことができる。 従って、 砂金や金を含有している弱 磁性の鉱石のみを前記混合物から分別することもできるし、 金を含有している強 磁性の鉱石のみを前記混合物から分別することもできる。 また、 各電磁コイルが 取り付けられている部位の金属製円筒内壁に磁着している量が異なる場合であつ ても、 個別に、 通電、 遮断等の操作を行って、 磁着したものを別々に取出すこと によって、 分離に支障を来すおそれはない。 For each of the electromagnetic coils that can generate magnetic fields with different strengths, if they are energized (generate a magnetic field) and interrupted (disappearing the magnetic field) separately, the metal in the area where the electromagnetic coil is attached Only the dust that has been magnetically attached to the inner wall of the cylinder can be removed with the cleaning fluid. Therefore, only weak magnetic ores containing gold dust and gold can be separated from the mixture, and only ferromagnetic ores containing gold can be separated from the mixture. Also, even if the amount of magnetism on the inner wall of the metal cylinder at the location where each electromagnetic coil is attached is different, separate operations such as energization and cutoff are performed separately. There is no risk that separation will be hindered.
前記混合物の送流は、 ジェッ ト水流又はポンプにより行うことができる。 その 為に混合物の水分は 7 0 %〜 9 0 %にすることにより容易に送流ができる。 The flow of the mixture can be performed by a jet water flow or a pump. Therefore, the water can be easily sent by setting the water content of the mixture to 70% to 90%.
この発明によれば、 連続的に送流されている砂金等を含む砂類と水との混合物 から、 砂金等を、 簡単に、 効率よく磁着し、 分別できる効果がある。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, there is an effect which can easily and efficiently magnetize and separate gold dust from a mixture of sand and water containing gold dust and the like which are continuously fed.
また砂金等を含む砂類と水との混合物の送流、 砂金等の磁着、 分別、 清掃用の 流体の送流と磁着、 分別された砂金等の取出しなどは何れも全自動により達成で きる効果がある。 In addition, the flow of a mixture of sand and water, including gold dust, the magnetic adhesion and separation of gold dust, the flow and magnetic adhesion of cleaning fluid, and the removal of separated gold dust, etc., are all achieved automatically. There is an effect that can be done.

The jet pump 4 has a blow-out hole 6 for pressurized air near the connection between the hose 3 and the transfer pipe 5, and the pressurized air is supplied by an air pipe 8 connected to an air box 7 (FIG. 6). Sorting boxes 9 and 10 are arranged in series at a predetermined interval in the transfer pipe 5 (FIG. 3), and a discharge hose 11 is connected to the discharge side of the last sorting box 10. The discharge hose 11 projects outward from the stern of the hull 1.
この実施例において吸引パイプ 2の基部に固定したロッド 1 2を、 エアシリン ダ 1 3への加圧エアの給排によって矢示 1 4又は 1 5の方向へ移動させると (図 4 ) 、 吸引パイプ 2も同方向へ移動するので、 吸引パイプ 2の先端はほぼ船体 1 の幅と同一幅の砂類の層を吸弓 I掘削できるように配置することができる。 また吸 引パイプ 2の先端の深度に関しては、 例えば図 5の (a ) のように角度を調節し たり、 吸引パイプ 2を外パイプ 2 aと、 内パイプ 2 bに分け、 外パイプ 2 aを摺 動して長くすることにより、 河川底の砂類の ±ϋから下層まで吸引掘削すること ができる。 前記パイプ 2 b上にエアシリンダ 1 6を固定し、 エアシリンダ 1 6の ロッド 1 7端に外パイプ 2 aを固定しておけば、 エアシリンダ 1 6の基端側に加 圧エアを送り込むことにより、 ロッド 1 7を矢示 1 8の方向へ伸長して、 砂類層 1 9の JJl l 9 aから下層 1 9 bまでの砂類を吸引掘削することができる。 また船体 1上のレール 2 0へ移動台 2 1を架設し移動台 2 1のブラケット 2 2 に吸引パイプ 2を軸 2 3で回転可能に軸支する。 またエアシリンダ 2 4の基端を 前記移動台 2 1上へ取付け、 前記エアシリンダ 2 4のロッド 2 5の先端を前記吸 弓 Iパイプ 2に取付ければ、 前記エアシリンダ 2 4への加圧エアの給排により、 口 ッド 2 5を矢示 2 6又は 2 7の方向へ移動させ、 吸引パイプ 2を軸 2 3を中心に して矢示 2 8又は 2 9の方向へ回動させることができる。 このようにして、 吸引 パイプ 2は角度を変更し、 又は長さを調節することができる。 In this embodiment, when the rod 12 fixed to the base of the suction pipe 2 is moved in the direction of arrow 14 or 15 by supplying and discharging pressurized air to the air cylinder 13 (FIG. 4), the suction pipe 2 also moves in the same direction, so the tip of the suction pipe 2 can be arranged so that it can excavate a layer of sand with the same width as the hull 1. Regarding the depth of the tip of the suction pipe 2, for example, the angle is adjusted as shown in Fig. 5 (a), the suction pipe 2 is divided into an outer pipe 2a and an inner pipe 2b, and the outer pipe 2a is By sliding and lengthening, it is possible to excavate from ± ϋ to the lower layer of sand at the river bottom. If the air cylinder 16 is fixed on the pipe 2b and the outer pipe 2a is fixed to the rod 17 end of the air cylinder 16, pressurized air can be sent to the base end of the air cylinder 16. Thus, the rod 17 is extended in the direction of the arrow 18, and the sand from the JJll 9 a of the sand layer 19 to the lower layer 19 b can be excavated. In addition, the moving table 21 is erected on the rail 20 on the hull 1 and the suction pipe 2 is rotatably supported on the bracket 2 2 of the moving table 21 so as to be rotatable around the shaft 23.

In this way, the suction pipe 2 can change its angle or adjust its length.
次に図 6において、 ジェットポンプ 4のエアパイプ 8へ加圧エアを供給し、 吹 出孔 6から加圧エアを矢示 3 0のように吹き出すと、 砂金等を含んだ砂類と水と の混合物は同方向へ加速され、 例えば 3 mZ s e cの流速で矢示 3 1の方向へ流 動する。 そして選別匣 9に達すると、 この選別匣 9の部分で、 移送パイプ 5の断 面積が大きくなるので、 前記混合物の流速が低下する。 そこで、 前記混合物中に 含まれた砂金等は、 なかでも比較的大粒の砂金等は、 これまでと同じような速度 で流動することができないので、 その比重ゆえに、矢示 3 2のように沈降する (図 7 ) 。 ついで、 選別匣 1 0に達した混合物中から、比較的小粒の砂金等力沈 降する。 Next, in FIG. 6, pressurized air is supplied to the air pipe 8 of the jet pump 4, and the pressurized air is blown out from the blowout hole 6 as shown by an arrow 30. The mixture is accelerated in the same direction, for example, in the direction of arrow 31 at a flow rate of 3 mZ sec. Then, when reaching the sorting box 9, the cross-sectional area of the transfer pipe 5 is increased in the portion of the sorting box 9, so that the flow velocity of the mixture is reduced. Therefore, gold dust contained in the mixture, especially relatively large gold dust, cannot flow at the same speed as before, and therefore sedimentation as shown by arrow 32 due to its specific gravity. (Fig. 7). Then, from the mixture that has reached the sorting box 10, relatively small particles of gold dust are settled.

The sorting accuracy varies depending on the condition of the gold dust etc. (external shape, particle size, etc.) and the degree of change in the flow velocity. However, if necessary, the number of sorting boxes can be increased or the flow velocity can be greatly changed. . The gold dust 33 accumulated in the sorting box as described above can be taken out to the outside world as shown by arrow 35 by opening the door 34 (FIG. 7).

この発明のシステムの実施例を図 1 3、 図 1 4、 図 1 5、 図 1 6、 図 1 7に基 づいて説明する。 An embodiment of the system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. FIG.
地表 6 8から地中へ向って揚砂管 6 7を挿入し、 揚砂管 6 7と地表に敷設した 移送管 6 9とを連結管 7 3で連結する。 連結管 7 3には、 その屈曲部に加圧エア 匣 7 4を付設し、 コンプレッサー 7 6により生成した加圧エアを、 エアパイプ 7 5を介して加圧エア匣 7 4に供給し、 ノズル 7 7から、連結管 7 3内へ加圧エア を矢示 7 8のように吹き込むことによつて移送管 6 9内の砂金等を含む砂類と水 との混合物の流動速度を加速し、 所定の速度 (例えば 3 mZ s e c ) で流動させ る。 そこで移送管 6 9内に図 1 3中、 矢示 7 8のような流動が生じると、 ¾ 管 7 3を介し、 揚砂管 6 7にも矢示 7 9のように上向きの流動を生じる。 前記移送 管 6 9内に、 3 mZ s e cの流動が生じると、 揚砂管 6 7内にも等速の流動を生 じることになり、 揚砂管 6 7の下端から、 前記流動量に見合う砂金等を含む砂類 と水との混合物が吸弓 I掘削される。 A sand pipe 67 is inserted into the ground from the ground surface 68, and the sand pipe 67 is connected to the transfer pipe 69 laid on the ground by a connecting pipe 73. The connecting pipe 73 is provided with a pressurized air box 74 at the bent portion thereof, and supplies the pressurized air generated by the compressor 76 to the pressurized air box 74 through the air pipe 75. From 7, the pressurized air is blown into the connecting pipe 73 as shown by arrow 78 to accelerate the flow velocity of the mixture of sand and water, including gold dust, in the transfer pipe 69, and Flow at the speed (for example, 3 mZ sec). Therefore, when a flow like the arrow 78 in Fig. 13 occurs in the transfer pipe 69, an upward flow like the arrow 79 also occurs in the sand pipe 67 through the pipe 73. . When a flow of 3 mZ sec occurs in the transfer pipe 69, a uniform velocity flow also occurs in the sand pipe 67, and the flow amount from the lower end of the sand pipe 67 becomes Sand including suitable gold dust A mixture of water and water is excavated.
前記において揚砂管 6 7の下端には水位 8 0 (図 1 3 ) との間に Hの水圧が掛 つているので、 水位 8 0から下方へ Xmの間の揚砂管 6 7内の混合物を排除すれ ば、 Hの水圧と、 Xmの間の水圧との差に応じて、 該部へ下方の混合物が自動的 に補充されることになり、 結局、 揚砂状態が継続され、 連続して吸引、 掘削でき る とに Ά 。 In the above, since the water pressure of H is applied between the lower end of the sand pipe 67 and the water level 80 (FIG. 13), the mixture in the sand pipe 67 between the water level 80 and Xm downward is applied. If the water pressure of H and the water pressure between Xm are eliminated, the lower mixture is automatically replenished to the section, and eventually the sand-lifting state is continued and continued. Suction and excavation Ά.
前記において、 砂金等を含む砂類の層が強圧を受けていて、 深度による水圧以 上の力を受けているのであれば、 前記のように加圧エアなどによる加速装置を使 用することなく、 すなわち、 揚砂管 6 7の上端側を吸引して減圧し、 そこに揚砂 管 6 7の下側から圧力差によって自動的に揚砂させるという構成にしなくても、 加圧圧縮された砂類の層に穴をあけると、 砂類と水との混合物が吹き出す場合も 十分あり得るが、 この実施例では水圧へッド以外はないものとして記載した。 移送管 6 9には、 分離匣 7 0、 7 1、 7 2力所定間隔で直列に連結してある。 前記分離匣 7 0、 7 1、 7 2内は、 移送管 6 9の断面積より大きい断面積になつ ているので、 その断面積に比例して、 分離匣 7 0、 7 1、 7 2が備えられている 部分ではその流速が低下し、 流速の低下に伴って、 比重の大きい砂金等が先ず沈 降することになり、 以下順次比重の大きいものから沈降して、分別することがで きる。 前記流速と比重の差を利用した分別との関係は砂金等の形状、 粒度などに 関連するので、 実験的に求めた法がより分別効率を向上することができる。 分離匣 7 0、 7 1、 7 2を通過した後、 更に他の分別手段 (例えば遠心分離、 "^水簸) を用いることもできる力^ 移送管による移送能力が大きいので、 これ を十分処理できる設備とすれば、 分離匣のみによつて分別することが好適と思わ れる。 In the above, if the layer of sand containing gold dust and the like is under strong pressure and is subject to a force higher than the water pressure due to the depth, without using an acceleration device such as pressurized air as described above In other words, the upper end of the sand pipe 67 is sucked and decompressed, and the sand is automatically compressed from the lower side of the sand pipe 67 by pressure difference without pressure. If a hole is formed in the sand layer, a mixture of sand and water may well blow out, but in this example, it is described that there is no other than a hydraulic head. Separation boxes 70, 71, and 72 are connected in series to the transfer pipe 69 at predetermined intervals. Since the inside of the separation box 70, 71, 72 has a cross-sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area of the transfer pipe 69, the separation box 70, 71, 72 is proportional to the cross-sectional area. The flow velocity decreases in the provided area, and as the flow velocity decreases, gold dust, etc., having a higher specific gravity, first settles, and then sedimentation begins with those with higher specific gravity and can be separated. . Since the relationship between the flow velocity and the separation using the difference in specific gravity is related to the shape, particle size, etc. of the gold dust or the like, the method obtained experimentally can further improve the separation efficiency. After passing through the separation box 70, 71, 72, it is possible to use other separation means (for example, centrifugal separation, "^ elutriation"). If it is a facility that can be used, it seems preferable to separate only by using a separation box.
この 例において、 揚砂管を挿入する際に、 揚砂管の先端が粘土層又は岩層 に当接した場合には、 図 1 7に示すように、 揚砂管 6 7の先端にジヱットノズル 8 1を下向に固定し、耐圧パイプ 8 2を介して高圧水を前記ジヱットノズル 8 1 から吹き出させると、 粘土層 8 3又は岩層などを容易に破碎、 穿孔して、 揚砂管 を土中に挿入させていくことができる。 In this example, if the tip of the sand pipe comes into contact with the clay layer or rock layer when inserting the sand pipe, as shown in Fig. 17, a jet nozzle 81 is attached to the tip of the sand pipe 67. Is fixed downward, and high-pressure water is blown out from the jet nozzle 81 through a pressure-resistant pipe 82, whereby the clay layer 83 or a rock layer is easily crushed and pierced, and the sand pipe is inserted into the soil. You can let it go.
(実施例 8 ) この発明の実施例を図 1 8に基づいて説明する。 砂金床を掘削して得た砂金等 又は金鉱石を破砕して得た破砕砂等に水 8 5 % (重量) を加えて混合物とし、 こ の混合物をポンプで、 あるいは加圧された流体 (加圧エア、 加圧水流ジヱット) を用いて流動力を与え、 送流パイプを介して、 金属製の円筒内へ送流する (例え ば l mZ s e cの速度で送流する) 。 前記金属製円筒の断面積を前記送流パイプ の断面積の 1 0倍に設定しておけば、 金属製円筒における混合物の流速は 1 0 c mZ s e cとなる。 金属製円筒の周囲には、 5 0 0 0ガウス、 2万ガウス、 5万 ガウス、 2 0万ガウスという異なる強さの磁場を発生する磁場発生手段 (例えば、 ソレノィドコイル) を、 金属製円筒内の前記混合物の流動方向に沿って、 順次、 設置しておく。 (Example 8) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 85% (by weight) of water is added to gold dust or the like obtained by excavating a gold dust bed or crushed sand obtained by crushing gold ore to form a mixture, and the mixture is pumped or pressurized fluid ( A fluid force is applied using a pressurized air or a pressurized water jet, and the fluid is fed into a metal cylinder via a feed pipe (for example, sent at a speed of lmZ sec). If the cross-sectional area of the metal cylinder is set to be 10 times the cross-sectional area of the flow pipe, the flow rate of the mixture in the metal cylinder will be 10 cmZ sec. Around the metal cylinder, magnetic field generating means (for example, a solenoid coil) that generates magnetic fields of different strengths of 500, 20,000, 50,000, and 200,000 Gauss are placed inside the metal cylinder. The mixture is placed sequentially along the flow direction of the mixture.
前記磁場発生手段を作動させて、 磁場を発生させつつ金属製円筒を緩徐に回転 (毎分 5〜1 0回転) させる。 このようにすると、 強磁性粒子や強磁性物質 (例 えば F e、 M nなど) は 5 0 0 0ガウスの磁場が発生されている位置に対応する 金属製円筒内壁に磁着し、 前記混合物の中に含まれている砂金等や鉱石の磁性の 強さに応じて、 2万ガウス、 5万ガウス、 2 0万ガウスの磁場力発生されている 位置に対応する金属製円筒内壁に、 夫々、 砂金等や鉱石が磁着する。 By operating the magnetic field generating means, the metal cylinder is slowly rotated (5 to 10 rotations per minute) while generating a magnetic field. In this way, the ferromagnetic particles and ferromagnetic material (eg, Fe, Mn, etc.) magnetically attach to the inner wall of the metal cylinder corresponding to the position where a magnetic field of 500 Gauss is generated, and the mixture Depending on the magnetic strength of the gold dust and ore contained in the inside, the metal cylindrical inner wall corresponding to the position where the magnetic field force of 20,000, 50,000, and 200,000 Gauss is generated, respectively However, gold dust and ores are magnetized.
前記において、 金属製円筒内における砂金等の磁着が飽和状態になる直前に、 磁気発生手段 (例えば、 ソレノィドコイル) への通電を遮断し、 磁場を消滅させ、 ついで清掃用の流体を前記金属製円筒内に加圧して送流すれば (例えば 1 O k g / c m2 で加圧して送流する) 、 前記金属製円筒の内壁に磁着していた砂金等は 清掃用流体と共に、 金属製円筒外へ取り出される。 In the above, immediately before the magnetic adhesion of the placer or the like in the metal cylinder becomes saturated, the power supply to the magnetism generating means (for example, a solenoid coil) is cut off, the magnetic field is extinguished, and the cleaning fluid is made of the metal. If it is pressurized and sent into the cylinder (for example, it is sent at a pressure of 1 O kg / cm 2 ), the gold dust or the like magnetically adhered to the inner wall of the metal cylinder will be removed together with the cleaning fluid together with the metal cylinder. It is taken out.
前記において、 1つ又は 2つのソレノィドコイルを設置した磁着部のみ砂金等 の磁着カ飽和に達したならば (例えばタイマ一により予測し自動操作する) 、 当 該部分におけるソレノィドコイルのみ通電を中止して磁場を解消させ、 磁着して いた砂金等を取出すこともできる。 In the above, if the magnetic adhesion of only one or two solenoid coils at which the magnetic coil is installed reaches saturation (for example, by using a timer to automatically operate), the energization of only the solenoid coil in the relevant section is stopped. By removing the magnetic field, the magnetically deposited gold dust can be removed.
また 5 0 0 0ガウスの磁場が飽和状態になっても、 次の 2万ガウスの磁場に磁 着し、 2万ガウスの磁場力飽和状態になると、 5万ガウスの磁場に磁着するなど、 自動調整されるので、 金属製円筒の部分を経由して排出されてくる混合物中に、 砂金等が含まれていない限り、 磁着力が発揮されていることが判る。 Also, even if the magnetic field of 50,000 Gauss becomes saturated, it magnetizes to the next magnetic field of 20,000 Gauss, and when it becomes saturated with the magnetic field force of 20,000 Gauss, it magnetizes to the magnetic field of 50,000 Gauss, etc. Since it is automatically adjusted, it can be seen that the magnetic force is exerted as long as the mixture discharged through the metal cylinder part does not contain gold dust or the like.
6 一 元来砂金床などにより、 混入している砂金等の材料分布は予め判明しており、 また、 事前に分別を行ってみることにより、 砂金等の含有量、 品質は判るので、 磁着物の飽和を予測し、 タイマーによって自動制御することができる。 6 one Originally, the distribution of material such as gold dust mixed in from the gold dust floor was known in advance, and the content and quality of the gold dust etc. could be determined by conducting separation in advance, so the saturation of the magnetized material Can be automatically controlled by a timer.
前記において、 混合物を流動させつつ磁場発生手段を作動させる際に、 金属製 円筒を緩徐に回転させたが、 回転させなくとも、 混合物中の砂金等を金属製円筒 内壁に磁着させ、 分別することができる。 In the above, when operating the magnetic field generating means while flowing the mixture, the metal cylinder was slowly rotated, but without rotating, the metal dust or the like in the mixture was magnetically attached to the inner wall of the metal cylinder and separated. be able to.
尚、 前記実施例 1乃至 7で説明した方法、 システムによって採取、 分別した砂 金等を水と混合させて混合物とし、 この実施例で説明した方法にて、 更に分別す れば、 砂金、 金鉱石を、 更に精度よく、 高効率で分別することができる。 The gold and the like collected and separated by the method and the system described in the first to seventh embodiments are mixed with water to form a mixture. If the gold is further separated by the method described in this embodiment, the gold and the gold are separated. Ore can be separated with high accuracy and high efficiency.

An appropriate amount of water (for example, 85% (fi »)) is added to the dust obtained by crushing gold dust or gold ore to form a mixture. The mixture is supplied from a tank 84 to a metal cylinder 8 by a pump 85. Feed into 7. In this case, if valves 88, 89, 90, 91 are opened and valves 92, 93, 94, 95, 105 are closed, the mixture will Into the metal cylinder 87. The metal cylinder 87 is made of stainless steel, and a plurality of sets of solenoid coils 100, 100a, 100b, and 100c are sequentially provided on the outside. The solenoid coils 100, 100a, 100b, and 100c are arranged such that the magnetic force increases as they go downstream of the mixture flowing. For example, the solenoid coil 100 is 500 gauss, the solenoid coil 100a is 20,000 gauss, the solenoid coil 100b is 50,000 gauss, the solenoid coil 100 c is 200 gauss, and the solenoid coil 1 The widths of 00, 100a, and 100b are almost the same, and the width of the solenoid coil 100c is twice or more. Accordingly, relatively ferromagnetic gold dust (eg, gold dust particles fixed to iron particles) is used in the metal cylinder 8 where the solenoid coil 100, which generates a magnetic field of 500 gauss, is located. 7 Weakly magnetized gold dust (such as gold dust particles and gold dust particles with non-magnetic minerals adhered to the inner wall) is magnetized on the inner wall of the solenoid coil 100 c that generates a magnetic field of 200,000 gauss. Part of the metal cylinder 8 7 is magnetized on the inner wall.
前記において、 金属製円筒 8 7 , 8 7 aを緩徐に回転 (毎分 5〜1 0回転) さ せる手段を付設し、 前記混合物を金属製円筒 87、 87 aで流動させつつソレノ ィドコイル 100等によって磁場を発生させる際に、 金属製円筒 87、 87 aを 緩徐に回転 (毎分 5〜10回転) させるように構成することもできる。 このよう にすれば、 金属製円筒 87、 87 aの内周壁に均等に砂金等を磁着させることが できる。 In the above, the metal cylinders 87 and 87a are slowly rotated (5 to 10 rotations per minute). When the magnetic field is generated by the solenoid coil 100 and the like while the mixture is flowing through the metal cylinders 87 and 87a, the metal cylinders 87 and 87a are slowly rotated (5 to 10 rotations per minute). ). In this way, it is possible to uniformly magnetize the inner peripheral walls of the metal cylinders 87, 87a with gold dust or the like.
前記のようにして、 弱磁性であるところの砂金、 強磁性の鉱物 (例えば鉄) 分 と固着している砂金、 強磁性の鉱物分と固着している砂金などのいずれも、 ソレ ノイドコイル 100、 100 a、 100b、 100 c力設置されている部分の金 属製円筒 87内壁に悉く磁着し、 混合物から分離される。 このように砂金等が取 り除かれた残りの混合物は、 矢示 102、 103、 121のように、 バルブ 89、 As described above, all of the weak magnetic placer gold, the placer gold adhered to the ferromagnetic mineral (for example, iron), the placer gold adhered to the ferromagnetic mineral, etc. The magnet is completely magnetized on the inner wall of the metal cylinder 87 where the 100 a, 100 b, and 100 c are installed, and separated from the mixture. The remaining mixture from which the placer and the like have been removed is supplied to the valve 89, as indicated by arrows 102, 103 and 121.
90、 91を経て排出タンク 104へ溜まる。 前記金属製円筒 87の内壁に磁着 した砂金等が飽和状態になつたならば、 バルブ 88、 90を閉じ (例えばタィマ —の指示による) 、 その一方、 バルブ 105、 95を開き、 バルブ 86、 96、After 90 and 91, it accumulates in the discharge tank 104. When the magnetically deposited gold or the like on the inner wall of the metal cylinder 87 becomes saturated, the valves 88 and 90 are closed (for example, according to the instruction of a timer), while the valves 105 and 95 are opened, and the valves 86 and 86 are opened. 96,
106を閉じると、 混合物は、 矢示 97、 117、 118のように金属製円筒 8 7 aに入り、 混合物中に含まれていた砂金等が磁着、 分別された残りの混合物は バルブ 95、 91を経て矢示 119、 120、 121のように排出タンク 104 へ溜まるようになる。 When 106 is closed, the mixture enters the metal cylinder 87a as shown by arrows 97, 117, and 118, and the dust contained in the mixture is magnetically attached. After passing through 91, it is accumulated in the discharge tank 104 as indicated by arrows 119, 120 and 121.
この際、 バルブ 94、 92を開き、 ポンプ 107を始動すると、 清掃用の清水 力水タンク 108から矢示 109、 110、 11、 112のように圧送 (例えば l O kg/cm2 ) されて、 金属製円筒 87内の混合液をタンク 84に戻す。 このようにして混合液力戻されたならば、 バルブ 92を閉じ、 バルブ 93を開 くと共に、 金属製円筒 87の全ソレノイドコイル 100、 100 a、 100b. 100 cの電流を遮断する。 このようにして金属製円筒 87に備えられていた総 てのソレノィドコイルを消磁し、 砂金等の磁着カを消失させた後、 ポンプ 107 により清水を圧送すると、 金属製円筒 87内壁に磁着されていた砂金等は清水と 共に、 矢示 110、 11、 113、 114のように流動し、 捕集タンク 115へ 送られるので、 砂金等の磁着分別と捕集の一工程を終了する。 At this time, when the valves 94 and 92 are opened and the pump 107 is started, it is pumped from the fresh water tank 108 for cleaning as shown by arrows 109, 110, 11, and 112 (for example, 10 kg / cm 2 ), The mixed solution in the metal cylinder 87 is returned to the tank 84. When the liquid mixture is returned in this manner, the valve 92 is closed, the valve 93 is opened, and the current of all the solenoid coils 100, 100a, 100b. After demagnetizing all the solenoid coils provided on the metal cylinder 87 in this way and eliminating magnetized metal such as gold dust, the pump 107 feeds fresh water under pressure, and is magnetized on the inner wall of the metal cylinder 87. The gold dust and the like that flowed together with the fresh water flow as shown by arrows 110, 11, 113, and 114 and are sent to the collection tank 115. Thus, one step of magnetically separating and collecting the gold dust and the like is completed.
一方、 金属製円筒 87 aで砂金等の磁着が飽和状態に達したならば (タイマー により知る。 また、 この時点では、 金属製円筒 87側では、 磁着されていた砂金 等は清水によって洗い流されて、 捕集タンク 1 1 5へ送られていることが好まし い。 ) 、 バルブ 9 3、 9 4、 9 5、 1 0 5を閉じると共に、 バルブ 8 8、 9 0を 開いて、 当初と同様にポンプ 8 5により混合液を金属製円筒 8 7に給送し、 金属 製円筒 8 7の内壁に砂金等を磁着させ、 残りの混合液を排出タンク 1 0 4へ排出 させる。 On the other hand, if the magnetic adhesion of gold or the like has reached a saturated state in the metal cylinder 87a (this is known from the timer. Also, at this point, the metal It is preferable that the water is washed off by fresh water and sent to the collection tank 115. ), While closing valves 93, 94, 95, 105, and opening valves 88, 90, the mixed liquid is fed to the metal cylinder 87 by the pump 85 as in the beginning, Gold dust or the like is magnetically attached to the inner wall of the metal cylinder 87, and the remaining mixture is discharged to the discharge tank 104.
またバルブ 8 6、 9 6を開き、 ポンプ 1 0 7を始動すれば、 清水が水タンク 1 0 8から矢示 1 0 9、 1 1 6のように金属製円筒 8 7 a内へ送られ、 更に矢示 1 2 2、 1 2 3、 1 1 2のように金属製円筒 8 7 a内に残留している混合物をタン ク 8 4へ戻す。 このようにして金属製円筒 8 7 a内の混合物が清掃されたならば、 バルブ 8 6を閉じ、 バルブ 1 0 6を開き、 金属製円筒 8 7 aの全ソレノィドコィ ル 1 0 0、 1 0 0 a、 1 0 0 b , 1 0 0 cの電源を遮断すると、 消磁されて金属 製円筒 8 7 aの磁着力がなくなるので、 磁着されていた砂金等は清水と共に送流 され、 捕集タンク 1 1 5へ溜まる。 When the valves 86 and 96 are opened and the pump 107 is started, fresh water is sent from the water tank 108 into the metal cylinder 87 a as shown by arrows 109 and 116. Further, the mixture remaining in the metal cylinder 87a is returned to the tank 84 as shown by arrows 122, 123 and 112. Once the mixture in metal cylinder 87a has been cleaned in this manner, valve 86 is closed, valve 106 is opened, and all solenoid coils 100, 100 of metal cylinder 87a are opened. When the power of a, 100b, and 100c is turned off, the magnetism is lost and the magnetic force of the metal cylinder 87a is lost. Accumulate at 1 1 5
前記により捕集された捕集タンク 1 1 5の混合物は、 固液分離し、 砂金等のみ を取出して適宜包装する。 The mixture in the collection tank 115 collected as described above is separated into a solid and a liquid, and only the gold dust is taken out and packed as appropriate.
この実施例では、 金属製円筒 8 7又は 8 7 aにおいて、 各ソレノィドコイルが 設けられていた部分に対応する位置における金属製円筒内壁に磁着してたすベて の砂金等を、 同時に清掃用の流体で流除したが、 各ソレノィドコイル毎の磁場を 個別に消磁し、 夫々のソレノィドコイルの設置場所ごとに、 磁着していたものを 個別に取出すこともできる。 In this embodiment, in the metal cylinder 87 or 87a, all the gold dust or the like magnetically attached to the inner wall of the metal cylinder at a position corresponding to the portion where each solenoid coil was provided is simultaneously cleaned. However, the magnetic field of each solenoid coil can be individually demagnetized, and the magnetized material can be taken out separately for each installation location of each solenoid coil.
例えば、 砂金床によっては、 砂鉄その他の強磁性粒子を多く含む場合などには、 5 0 0 0ガウスの磁場を発生させているソレノィドコイル 1 0 0力く取り付けられ ている金属製円筒 8 7又は 8 7 aの内壁に強磁性粒子が磁着し、 弱磁性の砂金は 5万ガウス又は 2 0万ガウスの磁場を発生させているソレノィドコイル 1 0 0 b、 1 0 0 c力取り付けられている位置の金属製円筒 8 7又は 8 7 aの内壁にのみ磁 着するので、 該 5万ガウス又は 2 0万ガウスの磁場を発生させているソレノィド コイル 1 0 0 b、 1 0 0 cのみ消磁すれば、 砂金のみを捕集し、 強磁性粒子と自 動的に分別することができる。 For example, depending on the anvil, if there is a large amount of iron sand or other ferromagnetic particles, a solenoid coil generating a magnetic field of 500 Gauss 100 Metal cylinder 87 7 or 8 The ferromagnetic particles are magnetically attached to the inner wall of 7a, and the weak magnetic gold dust generates a magnetic field of 50,000 gauss or 200,000 gauss. Since it is magnetized only on the inner wall of the metal cylinder 87 or 87a, if only the solenoid coils 100b and 100c that generate a magnetic field of 50,000 or 200,000 gauss are demagnetized, Only gold dust can be collected and automatically separated from ferromagnetic particles.
尚、 前記 例 1乃至 7で説明した方法、 システムの最終工程の次に、 この実 施例で説明したシステムを組み合わせ、 前記実施例 1乃至 7で説明した方法、 シ ステムによって採取、 分別した砂金等を水と混合させて混合物とし、 この実施例 で説明した方法にて、更に分別すれば、 砂金、 金鉱石を、 更に精度よく、 高効率 で分別することができる。 Note that, after the final step of the method and system described in the above Examples 1 to 7, The system described in the embodiment is combined, and the gold dust and the like collected and separated by the system are mixed with water to form a mixture, which is further separated by the method described in the first to seventh embodiments.
