New approach to high voltage electrodynamic drum separator. II. Experimental verification

One kind of electroseparation is the conductance method, which depends on differences in charge vs time characteristic. Separated components are of different electric conductances and consequently, of various time constants of charging. Prevalent construction of the device is the "corona" drum separator (Huffs invention). This paper follows the theoretical analysis of the author (see Proc. ISH, London, 1999). The drum separator is considered as a control object. Some experimental results are given and analysed.
