Abstract. To separate conditioned particles of the crushed uranium ore from the closed cycle, it is proposed to use vibrating multifrequency screens designed for classification of bulk materials and separation of solid particles from the pulps or slurries by their size ranging from few microns to millimeters. With shock-vibrating multifrequency excitations of the tool and screen surfaces of the vibrating multifrequency screen МВГ, it is possible to separate, with good effectiveness, sludge-forming particles from technological grinding cycle at the stage of maximum opening of uranium ore grains, dehydration of the separated grains and separation and dehydration of the waste rocks from the alkaline solution for further utilization. In technological schemes for enriching uranium ores, vibrating multifrequency screens can be installed in order to separate substandard particles prior to uranium leaching, to improve leaching efficiency and reduce consumption of alkaline solution, or, generally, to be used instead of hydrocyclones in the closed grinding cycle. This can reduce over-crushing of conditioned ore particles in the closed cycle, increase productivity of technological chain (sections) of grinding due to more effective use of ball mill power, reduce energy costs and wear of mineral crushing and processing equipment.

Keywords: fine classification, dewatering, crushed uranium ore, processing waste, multifrequency screens.
