Abstract:The overall economic efficiency of standard industrial roll-type separators for granular materials can be improved by operation at higher velocities of the rotating roll electrode. The aim of this paper is to estimate how high this speed could be and still have a good separation. The answer to this question implied the calculation of the electric image force, which opposes the centrifugal force and sticks the corona-charged insulating particles to the rotating roll electrode. This force depends on the residual charge carried by the particles. By estimating the decay of this charge from surface potential measurements carried out on granular layers of insulating materials dispersed on grounded plate electrodes, it was possible to simulate the particle lift-off from the rotating roll electrode under various operating conditions. The results presented in the paper were obtained for fly-ash particles, but the numerical simulation methodology employed by the authors can be successfully applied for the optimisation of other electrostatic separation applications.
