Abstract
Disclosed is a particle separation method for separating particles from a mixture. Particles are processed with simultaneous forces acting on particle mass and particle size. The particles are processed by free fall of particles into a side wind or gas flow, to separate the particles by density, establishing the gas flow velocity to reach a distance point of separation of the materials by density. The particles are separated into lots of similar size difference to prevent mixing of bigger particles of low density with small particles of high density based on the processing of the materials.
Claims6
A material separation method comprising the steps of:
- processing materials with simultaneous forces acting on particle mass and particle size, wherein the materials are processed by free fall of the mass of the particles into a lateral flow of air or gas, to separate the particles by density,
- isolating by mass difference the mass or the particles, the mass or the particles are previously sorted by size into fractions of smaller size,
- establishing and controlling a velocity of the lateral flow of air or gas to reach a distance point of separation of the materials of lower density than a separation density desired.
