Resumen de Triboelectric belt separator provides fine-mineral beneficiation

• Unlike conventional electrostatic separation processes that are limited to particles greater than 75 [mu]m in size, the ST belt separator is suitable for separation of very fine (<1 [mu]m) to moderately coarse (300 [mu]m) materials with very high throughputs compared with conventional electrostatic separation processes.

  Unlike drum electrostatic separation processes that depend on differential conductivity of materials, the ST separator is highly effective in separating non-conductive materials. The ST belt separator is best suited for separation of very fine (<1 [mu]m) to moderately coarse (300 [mu]m) materials with very high throughputs.

  As the ST separator can process materials with particle sizes from about 300 [mu]m to less than 1 [mu]m, and the triboelectric separation is effective for both insulating and conductive materials, the technology greatly extends the range of applicable material over conventional electrostatic separators.
