    Research on structural optimization and performance testing of in-situ leaching high-pressure cavitation jet well washing nozzle

    • 摘要: 目前,地浸采铀领域传统洗井工艺井底有效作业压力低下,井下过滤器段垢状堵塞清洗困难。为此,研究高压空化射流洗井技术提升井筒泥垢清洗效率,通过设计并优化空化射流洗井喷嘴结构尺寸,利用Fluent软件模拟四水平五因素不同喷嘴组合下的射流性能,对比射流冲击力与射流气相体积分数等参数,优选最佳喷嘴结构。研究结果表明,针对地浸工艺孔洗井作业,入口喷嘴直径4.17 mm、入口流道长度10 mm、入口圆角1.0 mm、腔径13.75 mm、腔长5 mm、碰撞壁夹角60°、出口流道长度5.05 mm和出口喷嘴直径5 mm为最优喷嘴尺寸。室内试验表明,在旋转空化洗井器清洗时间固定下,压力10 MPa即可出现明显的清洗带。研究结果可为地浸高压空化射流洗井作业提供参考依据。

       

      Abstract: Currently, in the field of in-situ leaching uranium mining, the traditional well washing process suffers from low effective operating pressure at the well bottom, making it difficult to clean fouling deposits in underground filter sections. To address this, research is conducted on high-pressure cavitation jet well washing technology to enhance the efficiency of borehole scale cleaning. By designing and optimizing the structural dimensions of the cavitation jet well washing nozzle, the performance of jets under different nozzle combinations with four levels and five factors is simulated using Fluent software. Parameters such as jet impact force and gas-phase volume fraction are compared to select the optimal nozzle configuration. The results indicate that for well washing operations in in-situ leaching processes, the optimal nozzle dimensions are: an inlet nozzle diameter of 4.17 mm, an inlet flow channel length of 10 mm, an inlet fillet radius of 1.0 mm, a cavity diameter of 13.75 mm, a cavity length of 5 mm, a collision wall angle of 60°, an outlet flow channel length of 5.05 mm, and an outlet nozzle diameter of 5 mm. Laboratory tests demonstrate that under fixed cleaning time with a rotary cavitation well washer, a cleaning zone becomes apparent at a pressure of 10 MPa. These findings provide a reference for high-pressure cavitation jet well washing operations in in-situ leaching.
