摘要： An apparatus for the electrostatic separation of a mixture of particles that exhibit difference in electrical conductivity comprising: a rotating roll with a conductive surface to which conducting particles lose their charge; feeding means for feeding the mixture of particles onto the conductive surface; an ionising electrode for ionising individual particles in the mixture of particles; a first static electrode having the same polarity as the ionising electrode and which serves to generate a static electric field, the first static electrode being located sufficiently close to the ionising electrode that the static field acts on the particles immediately after they are ionised; and splitter comprising a leading edge over which a conductor fraction stream flung from the rotating roll following charge decay in these particles passes, wherein the leading edge of the splitter is positioned beneath the first static electrode so that the conductor fraction remains under the influence of the static electric field as it is collected.

摘要： An electrostatic separation apparatus or system is provided for separating a particle mixture into two constituent species. The system includes a distributor for differentially tribocharging the particle species forming the mixture and supplying the charged mixture to a plurality of electrostatic separation cells. Each cell includes at least one separator having an inlet, a separation chamber having an electric field zone for drawing selected charged particles from the particle mixture, a collector, and a transition outlet. The length of the electric field zone is selectively adjustable for varying the charged particle drawing action. A curtain gas flow introduced into the separation chamber carries the selected charged particles drawn from the particle mixture in the electric field zone to the collector. Flow vanes or straighteners are provided for both the particle mixture flow and the curtain gas flow to reduce turbulence in the separation chamber and improve separation efficiency. The collector includes a discharge outlet for discharging the selected charged particles to a first collection bin. The transition outlet receives the remaining particle flow and delivers it to a second collection bin for recovery or to a second separator to collect any remaining selected charged particles. The transition outlet reforms the flow to create turbulence to further tribocharge the particles prior to entering the second separator. A related method of particle separation is also disclosed.

摘要： The invention concerns a process as well as an apparatus for separating broken goods, consisting of broken nibs or beans and their shells and especially the separation of broken cacao beans (nibs) from the cacao shells in an electrostatic manner. In this connection the broken goods are electrostatically charged in fractionated configuration within a charging area between two differently charged electrodes and thereafter the beans and shells are differently deflected on downfalling within a homogeneous electrical field generated by two other electrodes defining the downfall section. The broken beans and shells then separated by means of a mechanical separator into two different product streams, consisting essentially of a stream of broken nibs and a stream of shells, which product streams are then removed. Excellent results in separating the above mentioned particles are gained using a relatively small and inexpensive equipment, when such results could up to now only be received by means of costly winnowing machines.

摘要： An apparatus and a process for subjecting a free falling stream of particles to an electrostatic field, between two rows of oppositely charged electrostatic rotating electrodes to effect a separation between particles of different electrostatic properties; the electrodes and cleaning brushes being suspended vertically and driven from their upper ends and having free lower ends. The electrode bearings are gently flushed with air from inside the electrodes and brushes to minimize the accumulation of dust thereon. The feed stream is baffled to minimize any lateral movement of the feed particles. The electrodes are fitted with commutator mechanisms to permit efficient and unchanging electrical charging of the electrodes without a separate connection from the power source to each electrode, i.e., the charging is from one to the next adjacent electrode.
