Oxygen Generators For Mining And Gold Mining

In mining operations, particularly underground, hazardous gases like hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide pose serious risks. Regulations require continuous oxygen supply to ensure miner safety, with amounts depending on gas composition. On-site oxygen generation through specialized generators is an efficient, cost-effective solution to meet these needs.Oxygen is also essential in the gold extraction process, especially during cyanide leaching, where it aids in dissolving gold from ore. Our oxygen generators offer reliable, high-quality oxygen solutions for both stationary and mobile mining applications, catering to varying oxygen volume requirements.

Oxygen generators for mining and gold mining

 

What is PSA oxygen?

PSA oxygen is a technology that generates pure oxygen through the principle of "pressure swing adsorption". PSA is an abbreviation for "Pressure Swing Adsorption". This process is widely used in the industrial field, especially in the separation of oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Its main principle is to use the difference in the adsorption capacity of adsorbent materials (such as molecular sieves or activated carbon) at different pressures to separate gas components.

Pressure:
The key to the PSA process is to introduce air into the adsorption tower at high pressure (usually 4-8 bar(g)). During the pressurization process, the main components of the air - nitrogen, carbon dioxide and moisture - are adsorbed, while oxygen is separated. If your process requires higher pressure, PSA can also adapt to higher working conditions to ensure the separation of oxygen.

Swing:
The "swing" part of the PSA process refers to the process of alternating pressurization and decompression to achieve adsorption and desorption. While one container is pressurized, the other container releases the adsorbed nitrogen and other components through decompression, so that the oxygen can be effectively separated and output.

Adsorption:
PSA's "adsorption" process uses specific adsorbent materials (such as molecular sieves) to selectively adsorb nitrogen from the air. When the air passes through the adsorption tower, the oxygen is separated without being affected, and the nitrogen is captured by the adsorption material, thereby obtaining high-purity oxygen. This process is not only efficient, but also can be operated continuously to meet the stable demand for oxygen in industrial production.

 

 

 

How does a PSA oxygen generator work?

 

 
 

 

NEWTEK on-site PSA oxygen generators are based on the proven pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology, which achieves efficient oxygen separation and production through the combination of two pressure vessels and zeolites. This technology can continuously and stably separate oxygen from other gases and is widely used in industrial sites that require on-site oxygen supply.

 
 
 

 

The oxygen generator consists of two pressure vessels filled with zeolites. Dry compressed air first enters the first vessel through a valve, where the pressure is increased to 4 to 8 bar(g). As the pressure increases, the zeolite material begins to adsorb nitrogen (N₂) from the air, while oxygen is separated and enters the accumulator tank.

 
 
 

 

While pressurizing in one vessel, the other vessel is regenerated through a decompression process to ensure continuous operation of the system. The pressures of the two vessels are balanced to ensure a stable output of oxygen. When the zeolite adsorption in the first vessel is saturated, the excess exhaust gas is discharged through the exhaust system. The second vessel begins to pressurize until the pressure between the two vessels is balanced again, and the next round of oxygen generation continues.

 


 

NEWTEK Oxygen Generators - Customized Solutions for Gold Mining

 

Gold mining, especially in remote areas, often faces challenges with inadequate infrastructure and difficult resource supply. In these areas, access to basic resources such as oxygen often relies on transporting oxygen cylinders or relying on fixed oxygen supply facilities. However, transporting bulk oxygen or using gas cylinders is not only costly, but also requires reliable transportation connections, and these facilities are usually far away from the mining area, making it difficult to ensure a stable oxygen supply. NEWTEK, as one of the world's leading oxygen generator manufacturers, is committed to providing customized oxygen solutions for the gold mining industry. With many years of industry experience, we have successfully installed more than 6,000 oxygen generation systems worldwide, especially in remote mining areas, to help gold mines solve oxygen supply problems. Our oxygen generators are not only reliable and efficient, but can also be customized according to the special needs of the mining area.
 

We provide two main types of oxygen generation solutions: stand-alone oxygen generators (Twin-Tower) and integrated solutions, including frame and container systems. Whether it is providing independent oxygen supply for mining areas or providing centralized oxygen supply systems for large mines, NEWTEK can provide solutions that perfectly match the needs of mining areas.

 

Customized solutions
NEWTEK understands the specific needs of each gold mine, so it provides tailor-made solutions that can be flexibly adjusted according to the oxygen demand, production scale and site conditions of the mine. Whether it is a stand-alone device or a fully integrated system, we can provide the best solution according to customer requirements to ensure the continuous operation of gold mining and the safety of miners.

FAQ

 

 

1. What are the main advantages of PSA oxygen generators?
PSA oxygen generators provide an efficient, reliable and low-cost on-site oxygen production solution. Its main advantages include no need for oxygen cylinder transportation, stable oxygen supply, reduced operating costs, and the flexibility to adjust oxygen production according to demand.
 

2. Does the PSA oxygen system require regular maintenance?
The maintenance requirements of the PSA oxygen system are low, but regular inspections of the system's pressure vessels, valves and zeolite conditions are necessary. With the extension of the use time, the zeolite may lose its adsorption capacity and need to be replaced regularly.
 

3. What applications are PSA oxygen generators suitable for?
PSA oxygen generators are widely used in fields that require a stable and high-purity oxygen supply, including gold mining, medical oxygen production, chemical industry, sewage treatment and aquaculture.
 

4. How is the oxygen purity of the PSA oxygen generator guaranteed?
The oxygen purity of the PSA oxygen generator can usually reach more than 90%, and the specific purity depends on the site requirements. By precisely controlling the pressure and adsorption process of the system, the oxygen purity is guaranteed and the oxygen concentration can be adjusted according to actual needs.
