  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SORTING FIBERS IN SUSPENSION IN AN AEROSOL THROUGH THE COMBINATION OF ELECTROSTATIC AND CENTRIFUGAL FORCES
    Publication number: 20200290058
    Abstract: The invention consists of a continuous sorting method and device which highlights the trajectory differences to which fibers of different form factors and particles charged under the joint influence of electrical forces and a centrifugal force could be subjected. Thus, according to the sorting method, the conditions exploit this difference in order to recover/collect the fibers separated from the non-fibrous particles present in the same initial aerosol or to sort fibers exhibiting different form factors.
