2.3. Powder content quantification. After separation of the problem sample, the deposited layers are collected from each electrode's surface and analyzed with near-infrared spectroscopy technique (Thermo Scientific™ Antaris™ FT-NIR) [36].The analyzer scans the vibrational absorption spectrum of the sample in the range 10 000–4000 cm …
Electrostatic separation is able to process mixtures of plastics from waste electrical and electronic equipment. The efficiency and quality of the electrostatic separation depends on the electric charge acquired by the particles in the appropriate tribocharging devices. The aim of the present work is to validate the possibility of using an electrostatic drum …
Triboelectric separation is an efficiency and promising method to recycle waste plastics. Fluidized bed has been proved an optimal tribocharger with excellent bipolar charging performance for binary granules. In this work, the tribo-charging characteristics of PE, PP, PET and PVC granules during fluidization were investigated using a bench …
The recovery and utilization of automotive plastics are global concerns because of the increasing number of end-of-life vehicles. Passenger vehicles constitute the largest group of automotive, whereas PP and ABS plastics account for a large proportion in exterior and interior parts of passenger cars. In this study, the triboelectrostatic …

After a brief introduction of the fundamental concepts of electrostatics, the book details various mechanisms of contact and frictional electric charging, with a special emphasis on the surface effects related to adsorption of water ...
Solid-phase particles were calculated in EDEM, and the fluidized area of the divided grid was imported into EDEM. The particle masses at different angles of the reflow plate were counted in the particle mass counting area (two lower air outlets), and the results are shown in Fig. 3.In the case of no electric field, the least mass of particles was …
Table 1. measurement and assessment of the triboelectric effect requires suitable models such as charge injection depth and the evaluation of important parameters such as surface charge density. Given the possible electrical objects, the charging media can be divided into electron, ion, and (nano-)materials.
The terms trihydrate and monohydrate are commonly used by industry to differentiate various types of bauxite. Bauxite that is totally or nearly all gibbsite bearing is called a trihydrate ore; if. 49, Proceedings of the 38th. ICSOBA Conference, 2020. boehmite or diaspore are the dominant minerals it is referred to as monohydrate ore [3].
The tribo-electrostatic method was applied to beneficiate non-coking Indian thermal coal from Ramagundam coal mines containing nearly 45% ash content. The microscopic studies revealed that quartz and kaolinite are the dominant minerals whereas illite, goethite, siderite and pyrite are the minor inclusions in the coal.
Heat, chemical pre-treatment affects the triboelectrostatic coal-quartz separation. • Applied voltage, splitter position affects grade and yield of product. • A 9% ash clean coal with 40% yield achieved from 53% feed ash with aniline treatment. • A 14% ash clean coal with 40% yield achieved from 53% feed ash after heat treatment.
The two-conveyor-electrodes tribo-aero-electrostatic separator patented in 2010 was designed to sort granular mixtures of insulating materials in a fluidized bed subjected to an electric field perpendicular to the direction of the fluidizing air. The prototype ≤has proven its efficiency for the separation of insulating granules ≤ 2 mm, attaining excellent recovery …
The electrodes are stationary and composed of an appropriately durable material. The belt is made of plastic material. The separator electrode length is approximately 6 meters (20 ft.) and the width 1.25 meters (4 ft.) for full size commercial units. The power consumption is about 1 kilowatt‐hour per tonne of material processed with most of ...
Fluidized bed devices have already been used as tribochargers for various industrial electrostatic separation processes. In the present paper, the authors investigate the behaviour of polyamide – polycarbonate granular plastic mixtures in a parallelepiped bed, the height of which is roughly 2 times its length or width, so that the collisions …
As shown in Fig. 2, when the particle fell into the separation zone, the horizontal and vertical components of electric force was computed from equation (3): (4) F ex = QEcosα = 180QUcosα/(90d 0 + πθL) (5) F ey = QEsinα = 180QUsinα/(90d 0 + πθL) (6) G = 4πr 0 3 ρg/3 Where α was the horizontal deflection angle.. 2.3. Particle trajectory …
The aim of this paper is to carry out an experimental analysis of a triboelectrostatic separation device constituted of two "back-and-forth" moving horizontal plate electrodes supplied by two high-voltage DC supplies of opposite polarities. The experiments were performed using samples of micronized white pure PolyVinyl …
