Abstract

A vertical column pneumatic separator was modified to improve its separation performance. A branch column was installed at the center of the main column, which created a bypass flow and changed the flow rate of the main column before and after the branch column. To separate a mixture comprising light and heavy materials, the airflow in main column after the branch column was set to lift the only light materials and the airflow in main column before the branch column was set to prevent the flow of the light materials from flowing downwards. Materials directed into the branch column were separated from the flow and returned to the feeder through the cyclone linked to the branch column. The performances of the straight-type separator and the modified separator were compared using glass and zirconia beads with a narrow size distribution.

수직컬럼형 풍력선별기의 선별능력을 향상시키기 위해 일시적인 중광(middling)의 흐름을 형성할 수 있는 측로(bypass)를 선별컬럼의 중앙에 설치하였다. 측로를 흐름을 조절하여 주선별컬럼에서 상부흐름의 속도는 가벼운 물질만이 상부로 회수하도록 설정하고 하부흐름의 속도는 무거운 물질만이 하부로 회수되도록 설정하였다. 측로로 이동하는 흐름은 사이클론을 통과시켜 중광이 피더로 회수되도록 하였다. 일반 수직컬럼형 풍력선별기와 개조된 선별기에서 유리와 지르코니아 비드(bead)의 혼합물을 사용하여 성능향상의 효과를 실험하였다.
