EFFECTS OF THE SIZE OF CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES ON INDUCTION SORTING EFFICIENCY IN THE TRAVELING MAGNETIC FIELD
One of important technological operations used in industrial processing of metal-containing waste and preparation of nonferrous metal scrap for metallurgical treatment is sorting of nonferrous metals in line with alloy types and grades. The given technological operation requires application of electro-dynamic separation in the travelling magnetic field. Selectivity procedure is an important separation index which characterizes the sorting quality. There are many factors affecting selectivity of separation. This article provides estimation of a number of such factors and proposes techniques for improving the separation quality. The focus is made on the impact of size of conductive particles on the quality of induction sorting.
