Abrégé

A method is disclosed for oxidation of sulphur oxyanions contained in a stream of aqueous liquid. In the method, an aqueous liquid stream containing sulphur oxyanions is mixed, in a sparger device (7, 8), with at least one oxidant in gaseous form, thereby obtaining, mixed within the aqueous liquid stream, oxidant microbubbles containing reactive radicals species in contact with dissolved or condensed oxidant and the aqueous liquid stream, and/or reactive radicals species in contact with the at least one oxidant in gaseous form and the aqueous liquid stream. The dissolved or condensed oxidant and the reactive radicals species, and/or the at least one oxidant in gaseous form and the reactive radicals species, are allowed to contact sulphur oxyanions contained in the aqueous liquid stream and to oxidize sulphur oxyanions contained in the aqueous liquid stream to sulphate and/or to other sulphur oxidation states, by an oxidative reaction of the sulphur oxyanions with the reactive radicals species, thereby forming sulphate and/or other sulphur oxidation states containing aqueous liquid stream.

Abrégé

A grid (1) and a vat (4) for a vat assembly of a vertical filter press such as a tower press is disclosed. The grid (1) is provided with a topographical pattern (3) engaging with a corresponding, inverse topographical pattern (8) on the filtrate vat (4). The topographical patterns (3, 8) guide the filtrate flow towards a filtrate outlet (7) and reduces the formation of vortices and turbulent flow of the filtrate, hence increasing the filtrate flow rate through the vat. Simultaneous, the topographical patterns (3, 8) improve secure attachment of the grid (1) onto the vat (4), thereby allowing increased travel speed of the filter medium during advancement thereof. As a result, the cycle time of a filtration process may be reduced, and consequently, the overall capacity of the associated filter press is increased. A filtrate vat assembly and a vertical filter are also disclosed.

Abrégé

The present disclosure concerns a filter plate assembly (1) which is resistant to both wear and deformation caused by creeping, while facilitating maintenance thereof. The disclosure is based on the idea of providing a filtrate vat (4) formed on, and integral with the filter plate (2), in addition to a separate, replaceable vat liner (5). In this way, a rigid 5 structure of the filtrate vat (4) capable of resisting deformation may be achieved, while the vat liner (5) separates the filtrate from the filtrate vat (4) and the associated filter plate (2), providing wear resistance and facilitating maintenance. The present disclosure further concerns the filter plate (2) and the filtrate vat (5).

Abrégé

The present disclosure relates to an outlet piece assembly (1) for a horizontal plate and frame-type filter, such as tower press. The disclosure is based on the idea of providing the outlet piece assembly (1) as having a base (3) removably attachable to a filter press (e.g., to the filter plate (8) or plate frame (9) thereof), and a lid (4) removably fixed to the 5 base (3), such that an internal conduit (2) of the outlet piece assembly running between a vat end and a discharge end is formed between the base (3) and the lid (4). This enables a part of an associated filtrate vat component, such as the vat liner (5), to be received between the base (3) and the lid (4), thereby ensuring secure sealing between these components.

The disclosure relates to a filter plate (1) for a horizontal plate and frame -type filter, such as a tower press. The disclosure is based on the idea of providing a filtrate vat (3) formed on, and integral with a filter plate (1) along with an outlet opening as a gap (2d) on a border (2) delimiting the vat (3) for providing drainage route, and a recessed portion (1c) provided at the outlet opening. In this way, a rigid structure of the filtrate vat (3) capable of resisting deformation may be achieved, and contamination from slurry between the filter plate (1) and a possible vat liner or coating is avoided.

Abrégé

The present disclosure concerns a filter plate frame assembly (1) and a horizontal filter press, in which accidental overpressurization of the filter diaphragm (5) is prevented. A filter plate frame assembly (1) having a separate subframe (4) is provided with a limited vertical travel with respect to the filter frame (2) and the filter plate (3), such that the 5 subframe (4) is allowed to drop away from the filter plate (2) when the filter chamber is opened. This enables a diaphragm (5) to be attached to the subframe (4) such that an escape route is formed for a pressurized medium accidentally introduced between the filter plate (3) and the diaphragm (5). Moreover, the limited travel of the subframe (4) allows the subframe (4) to be pressed towards the filter plate (3) when the filter chamber is closed, 10 thereby allowing normal operation of the diaphragm (5) for squeezing a filter cake.

Abrégé

The disclosure is based on the idea of providing a filter plate frame assembly (1) with a filter plate frame (2) and a subframe (7) housed within the frame (2), such that the subframe (7) can be removed from the frame (2) without removing the frame (2) from the filter press. In this way, consumable components can be provided in connection with the subframe (7), which can be easily removed from the filter press. This, in turn, makes replacement of worn components faster, as the whole frame does not need to be removed from the filter press. The present disclosure further concerns an associated horizontal filter press and a method of replacing worn components of such a filter press.

Abrégé

The invention describes a process for roasting of metal concentrate. Concentrate particles are fed into a roaster where they are thermally treated at a temperature in the range of 500 and 1200°C in a fluidized bed to form a calcine. At least parts of the calcine are withdrawn from the roaster together with a gas stream as a solid fraction. Concentrate particles with a diameter at least 50% smaller than the average diameter of the concentrate particles are separated as small particles and/or that particles from the gas-solid-fraction are separated in at least one step as small calcine particles and/or that particles are gained in another hydrometallurgical step as other particles. The small particles and/or at least part of the small calcine particles and/or at least parts of the other particles are pelletized, whereby at least 80 % of the pellets feature a diameter of at least 80% of the concentrate particles average diameter. The pellets are fed into the roaster.
