Abstract:This paper is aimed at the optimization of a new tribo-aero-electrostatic separator for micronized isolating materials mixtures, with application at the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The two high-voltage rotating-cylinder electrodes of the electrostatic separator are partly immersed in a fluidized bed containing the material to be separated. The control variables of the process are the high-voltage applied to the electrodes, the speed of the fluidization air, and the feeding rate of t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
