폐자동차 ASR으로부터 염소성분을 제거하기 위하여 풍력선별 및 비중선별 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, ASR플라스틱만을 분리하여 물을 매체로 한 비중선별을 실시하였다. ASR 시료는 모두 8 mm이하로 재분쇄하여 선별실험에 사용하였으며, 플라스틱은 3가지 입도로 나누어 비중선별 실험을 하였다. 풍력선별은 공기유량 9~20 M$^3$/hr 범위의 1단계와 공기유량 25~34 M$^3$/hr 범위의 2단계로 나누어 실시하고 각 산물의 비율과 재질분포를 조사하였다. 1단계 풍력선별후 underflow 산물의 비율은 62~66%인 것으로 나타났으며, 공기유량이 큰 2단계 풍력선별에서는 overflow 산물의 비율이 크게 증가하였다. 폐플라스틱만을 대상으로 한 비중선별 실험결과 부유물질이 침강물질에 비해 다소 많게 나타났으며, 염소함량에 있어서는 최대 수백개의 염소함량 차이를 보여 순수 플라스틱의 경우 매우 우수한 염소함유 재질의 분리효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
A study on the air and gravity separation has been performed for the removal of chlorine containing materials from ASR of end-of-life vehicles. The gravity separation was also conducted on waste plastics collected from ASR. In this work, ASR were previously shredded to pass through 8 mm sieve prior to separation tests and the gravity separation of waste plastics was conducted for three different particle sizes. The two-stage air classification was conducted with the range of air flow rate of 9~20 M$^3$/hr at first stage and 25~34 M$^3$/hr at second stage, respectively. The fraction of overflow product was remarkably increased in the 2nd stage air classification because of high air flow rate while that of underflow product obtained from 1st stage air classification was found to be 62~66%. From the results of gravity separation on waste plastics, it was also found that the amount of the float product was much greater than sink product. It is believed that the gravity separation may be used very efficiently for the removal of calorine bearing materials from waste plastics.
