PLANT FOR ELECTROHYDRAULIC DRESSING OF MINERAL STOCK INCLUDING GOLD BEARING STOCK WITH HIGH CONTENT OF CLAY COMPONENTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B01J19/08 B03B7/00 C22B7/00 C22B11/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydrometallurgy, particularly, to mineral stock dressing devices. Proposed plant comprises reactor, control board, HV transformer, and pulse generator with bank of capacitors. Reactor is composed of rectangular cross-section vertical tube to process dry or wet mineral stock. Shelves are arranged inside said reactor hinged at 45-60 degrees to reactor vertical axis. Said shelves double as grounded electrode. HV electrode is mounted outside the reactor, at hole cut in its wall. Note here that shelf bent edge stays opposite HV electrode head to rest, from inside, onto spring-loaded support to allow vibration of shelves by shock wave effects.

EFFECT: higher quality of raw stock.
