In order to explore methods to accelerate the flocculation settling of fine tailings, ultrasonic technology was introduced during the flocculation settling of tailings. Non-contact sound fields and perturbation actions were applied to the tailings slurry medium to conduct tests on flocculation settling of fine tailings based on ultrasonic guidance. By analyzing the variation of height of solid-liquid of tailings slurry under the action of 28 kHz and 100 W ultrasonic transducers at different settling times, combined with the simulation of the internal flow field of the sand silo, the mechanism of flocculation settling of tailings slurry under ultrasonic guidance was revealed. The results show that compared with natural flocculation settling, ultrasound can significantly increase the settling height of the solid-liquid surface of tailings slurry, and small flocs tend to move upward at the solid-liquid interface and form large flocs in the upper water layer, providing an excessive flocculation environment for flocculation settling of subsequent tailings slurry. Ultrasonic guidance is not only beneficial for the flocculation settling efficiency in current environment, but also has potential advantages for continuous flocculation settling.
