The invention discloses a method of sorting low grade
uranium ores by a dense medium
cyclone. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out first section screening after coarsely crushing andfinely crushing raw ores to obtain ores, the
granularity of which is smaller than or equal to 5 mm, wherein the ores, the
granularity of which is greater than 5 mm, are returned to be finely crushed;carrying out second-section screening on the obtained ores to obtain ores, the
granularity range of which is 0.3-5 mm, wherein the ores, the granularity of which is smaller than 0.3 mm, are treated as
tailings; feeding the ores, the granularity range of which is 0.3-5 mm, into the dense medium
cyclone to be sorted, wherein heavy minerals and light minerals are separated effectively by means of aheavy suspension in the dense medium
cyclone and are discharged from ore
discharge ports, respectively; and feeding the discharged heavy minerals and light minerals into medium-removing and dehydrating steps respectively, wherein the obtained heavy minerals are
uranium concentrate and the obtained light minerals are
uranium tailings. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of beingsimple in process, low in cost, large in handling capacity, high in sorting precision, high in enriching ratio and the like, and the
operating cost of the dense medium cyclone is low.
