Attention is u l l e d to the recent development of a separator using nonconducting electrodes to promote safety, unifonnity of field, and more precise regulation of field strength. The costs of four inr*llations and a list of some products now being commercially separated on eIcdror*tic reparotors are given.

Historical development, the theory of electrostatic separation, and the action of the fundamental separator are reviewed. Difference in behavior of conductors and nonconductors, materials of differ. ent dielecbic strength, and materials subject to pyroelectric charge are outlined. Attention i s u l l e d to the possibilities of elecbiul and chemical conditioning of the ked and to the possible impmwment of separation through the selection of pmpe~ supporting surfaces.

The Apparatus Redncad to ita fnudamntal form, an eleotmstatic sepsrator may be pioaYaa an in Figure 1. A feed hopper, A, fitted with a gate, B, is placed over a feed roll, C. Rotation of feed roll C in a counterclooLwise direction feeds the material to be mparated pest the charged electrode, D. Below the feed roll is a two-oompattment receiving bin with a divider, E. This dividermaybe plaoea in suoh a position that, with no charge on electrodeD, sll the m a w will f d into pan F to the right of divider E. If &&ode D is a h g d with negative elee trioity and material is fed from the hopper, any partialee of material in the feed haYing positive surface charges will be deaeoted from their n o d line of fall and will dmp to the left of divider Einto pan a, thua resulting in a separation of the m a w . Separation tskes place ~ccordingto the fundamental law that unlika oharges attraotand like chsrges repel, so that a negatively charged electmde will attrsot the &alee in the mixture whioh carry positive chargea while it will repel the partialee whioh marry negative ohargee. The fundamental law of electrostatic s e w t i o n springs from the primav considerationthat in any system movement of free particles tends to take place in such away BB to reduce the total energy of the a p t e n . Also, the statement that like ohsrges rep4 is not pooording to d n t i 6 c faot, for aceually all movement in an aleotrostatiofield is due to contraoting tubes of force, and the tm partiden with like charges are actuslly neutrsl to each other and sre atgaded in opposite W o r m beasuse of the hbes Of forCe portending frOm their Surface to Surfacee Of O p

They arise from the frictional electrical efiect whereby two dissimilar sub~tancesacquire opposite and equal electrical ahargee when they are brought into i n t i t e contaot and then separated. For conductsnce chargee to he noted and wed for separating purposes, an outaide source of electrical potential is necessary to condition the material. Thii is heMW conductsnce c b q w arise from the contaot of the mix with the feed o h ~ t e sand r o b of the separator which are charged with an oppodte polarity from that of the attracting dectmde. Nonoonducking OOnStihWnk Of the mix are acted on by induction, and acquire equal and opposite charges so that the resulting total charge is rem. Conduoting particles, on the other hand, permit a flow of electricity which allows the charge differing from the feed ohute or roll to be neutrdized and the perticle to acquireatotal charge which is the same an the feed roll or chute and opposite that of the attraoting eledmde. pymelectrio ohargee are generated in some cryst& from strsins set up hy heating or cooling. The strsins prcduca opposite chsrgee a t the extremities of the crystal, and when one of these chargea is neutralized by the charged surface of the roll or chute, the particle is left with a charge corresponding to that of the roll or obute and is subject to the attractive force of the electrode. Photoelectric charges are produced only on substanca which have the property of Bning off electrons when exposedto radiatiom of the proper frequextcy and are not common in electrostatic separation work In a separation depending on contact chargee, there is movemeat of the constituent materials, not only on them-

selves but also on the supporting and con6ning surfaws, 80 that we have three frictional aourws of charges. For the ideal condition the contact potential of the supporting surfaws should lie between the contact potentials of the ing~&enta of the mix so that the resulting surface potent& of the ingredients will be opposite and at a maximmn. Thia condition iE also a d v a n t ~ g ewhere ~ ~ ~ the separation depends primarily on conduction charges, for then the conducting paaicle will have the same sign an the feed roll or chute, and the production of a maximum charge of opposite sign on the nonconducting constituent will make it stick to the roll or chute and improve the efficiency of the separation. Since it ia possible to reverse the polarity of the charge on the elecW e and frame of the separator,it is always possible to operate the separator with the frame baaring a charge opposite to the contact charge csmed by the nonconductor. ¶tiom are sometimes encountered where the Uerence in contact potential iE slight and where neither constituent can be called a conductor. In such OQBBB it is wmetima possible to b 3 d up a Uerenca in potential by taking advanhze of ditferencea in dielectric value. This is best done by conditioning the feed with a spray electrode juat prior to each separating stage. The charge on the spray electrode iE of the eame sign an that on the attracting electrode, and the lag in the neuWeation of the induced chsrge on the particle of highest dielectric strength aids in the efficiency of the separation.

mental development of efficient electrostatic separators follow~clmly the development of electrid. apparatua for produoing static charges of au5icient strength and uniformity. The development of frictional machinea continued until the 1880’8, at which t i e the Holtz, Voss, and Wimshurst induction machines had been developed to a point where they hecame fairly reliable sources of high-tension electricity and the static charges could be generated outaide of the separator itself. Theseparatingelectrodethentook theformofametal. lic conductor insulated from the body of the machine and charged from an outside s o w . It is interwthg to note that one of the patenta ming this construction wan issued to Edison in 1892 (6)for the separation of orea. While the w of the induction machines 88 a murca of high-potential unidirwtional current WM a great advance over the old frictional methds, the machinea were never of really rugged conshction and their large expased s w f a made ~ them susceptible to conditions of high hnmidity. During 1695 two patents were granted (1,9) for the con&n of albrnating to direot ourrent, and the u8e of the mechanical rectifier and highh i o n transformer w a ~soon adapted to eleotroststic separator work. Improvements in tr8mformers and meohanid rectifiers have contmued until today this class of apparatus iE rugged and dependable. The development of the vacuum tube and the rapid progreas in transformer construction, due to the requirements of the radio, haa produced another d e pendable mure8 of high-tension u n i W i o n a l current which oan be used for efficient eleotrostatic separation. Commercial p r o w wan not only limited by the slow development of reliable m u r of ~ &tic charges, but slso by the fact that efficient eleectroststic eeparation called for many other special considerations. Thua the high valtagea used required eUicient insubtion of the electmdes, not only to save power and maintain the bigh potential, but also to proteat the workmen around the machinse. Efscient separation demanded a uniform and uninterrupted statio field, and this was d i 5 d t to aocomplish before the dap of air conditioning. Good reaulta also depended on elom and nniform 8izing of the feed to the machine, and often the combined costa of BOIBBDB and mparator would render the pro~easeconomicaUy unwia9.

Where oontect chakgea are ~ t u r a l l ydand feeble, but where there is a considerable dilTempx in conduotivity, it is often possible to regulate the speed of the material tbrougb the machine 80 that, in conjunction with proper $ea trical conditioning,the nonconductor will p ~ s athe attracting electrode canping the same sign, while the conducting ingredient will carry the opposite charge and will be attrsatad out of the normal line of fall. If one ingredient is a @ conductor, electrical conditioning may be dispensed with and it is neoessav only to seleot the proper sign for the attracting electrode, which sbould compond to the natural sig0 of the nonconducting particles. If one member of the mix is subject to pyroelectric cbarging, the chsrge on the feed roll or chute can be selected to be the opposite to that of the nonpyroelectric member 80 that attraction to the feed roll will occur, in the cas8 of the pyroelectric ingredient, the opposite charge will be neutralized by the feed roU or chute and the charge remaining on the particle will cause it to be drawn over by the attracting electrode. If the possible applications of eleotmstatic separation are so universal, the question naturally arises m to whether it can be regarded aa a cure-all in the separation field. The answer is, “Decidedly, no”. Electrostatic separationis n sensitive method of separation. The strongest forces which can be generated in an electrostatio separator are actually very small. The macbine must be mmrately adjusted and kept in good condition if uniform multa are to be obtained. The feed to the maabine should be uniformly dried and it is nesary either to size the material witbin rather close Uta or to make elaborate mangemats for controlling the rate of feed nnd the distribution of the feed aaross the face of the macbine. Some separations require electrical or ohemical conditioning of the materials. EBch separation problem should be studied by iW and the deciaion made on an economic basis.

Economia In taking up a particular problem, the first question should be: Is the mixture suaceptible to eleotmststic separation? This can be determined by sending a Bample to nome d d e r of electrostatioequipment, or records at the Bureau of Mines may cover the c88e. From plant w r d a it is usually possible to determine the cost of grinding and &hg the material. Grinding must be oarried to a point where the ingredients are physically separate and, to ensure scient use of the nonetoostrong foroea in the static field, a -6 mesh grind is required in most separations. The grinding should be done with the production of a minimum amount of dust and, if a very dean aepsrstion is desired, it would be well to figure the Oost of

grading the feed to the separator into portions of, my, -6 to +20 mesh, -20 to +@Itmesh, -60 to +120 mesh, and -120 mesh. The cost of surfwe drying should also be cons i d e d at this point.

Consideration of the cost of separator equipment can be divided into two headinga: the cost of the electrical apparatus and the cost of tbe separator proper. The electrical equipment should be of first grade quality and should be fittad with the proper safeguards and controls. The ohst of the electrical equipment will vary but little, re@= of whether the separator is a mudl single unit or a large multiple hatallation, for in m y aase we are dealing witb the same higb voltages and therefore wfththe same exding insulation requhmenta and with controls and Bsreguards that are easentislly identical. whatever small dilTer8nce in cost there may be wiU bedue primarily to an increaeed copper requirement in the transformer w i n d i i for the higher current output and in the higher cost of connectingup the larger m a a h . However, in the case of the trsnafonner cost, S k h I d .U d wire size and mechanical and structural detgils are more likely to determine the &e of the conductors tbm an inm?aee in Calrrent-aarryinp capacitywhiah is in the order of milliamperes rather than ampem. Where electron tube reati6era am used, there will be an inmew in Oost for the larger,higher capacity tubes. It is safe to figure at least $750 for eleatrid equipment for the smallest commercial separator and $1500 for large multiple unite. The cost of the separator proper will depend on the method netswry to feed the material, the mate% of connh’uetion required, the number of separating stsgee wbiah must be used, and the tonnage to be separsted.
