Abstract. Dehydration of mineral raw materials on a vibrating screen occurs as a result of the passage of liquid through the cells of the screening surface. With fine and ultrafine screening, this process is hindered by the surface tension of the liquid. None of the screening theories makes it possible to determine which vibration excitation modes ensure dehydration.
With the help of numerical experiments on a mathematical model, the influence of vibration excitation modes on the intensity of the passage of liquid through the cells of various screening surfaces during dehydration on a vibrating screen was studied. In doing so, two tasks were solved: 1) determination of the amplitude and frequency of vibration excitation, when the required balance of water and the size of the cells of the screening surface are set; 2) determination of the remaining water on the screening surface depending on the cell size of the screening surface, the amplitude and frequency of vibration excitation. The developed mathematical model made it possible to solve both problems. On the basis of calculations and analysis, rational range of mode parameters of the vibrating screen for effective dehydration of various screening surfaces was established. The calculation algorithm is implemented on the basis of a mathematical model in the PC program «Sifting Surface» in C ++ with the connection of mathematical libraries and «Excel». The results of calculations, demonstration of the possibilities of various screening surfaces and modes are shown in the figures, which show the dependences of the residual water on the amplitude and frequency vibration excitation parameters. It is established that the vibro-impact effect, in comparison with the harmonic effect, provides better results in cleaning the cells from the liquid retained in them by surface tension forces, under less intensive modes.
The results obtained will be used in the development of a mathematical model of dehydration and a method for calculating technological parameters that ensure effective removal of liquid during fine and ultrafine screening of mineral raw materials, as well as to determine the rational design and dynamic parameters of the screen.
Keywords: dehydration, liquid surface tension, harmonic and vibroimpact vibration excitation, amplitude and frequency of vibration excitation, mathematical model.
