Liquids mixing is a widely spread technological operation highly sought in mining processing and ore mining industries. An article deals with process of mixing of liquid mediums in vibrational devices with absence of moving elements in working camera that provide high performance, energy efficiency and durability of equipment under usage. An originality of proposed method consists in creating of resonant regime (vibroturbulization) that provides generation of standing wave in a gasliquid medium and intensive mixing of components. The relationship between different parameters providing implementation of required regimes are determined. Proposed solution can be used for increasing of efficiency of different technological processes.
