Abstract

Aggregate waste separator with rotating separating net was designed for applying classification process of construction waste. In order to evaluate the performance of the aggregate waste separator, according to the type of waste, standardized waste samples are prepared using acrylic. The appropriate operating point was evaluated by the classification efficiency and misclassification rate of recycled aggregate according to the control frequency of the blower operating and inlet position of the separating net. The classification efficiency at the operating point of the aggregate waste separator was evaluated through flow analysis assuming recycled aggregate and waste sample as particles. As a result of the performance test, when the distance. between the conveyor belt and the inlet was 0.2m, the classification efficiency was 95%, but the misclassification rate of recycled aggregate was 2% or more, which satisfies the classification efficiency and the misclassification rate of less than 2%. The operating point was shown at a control frequency of 58Hz at a suction distance of 0.254m. As a resu lt of flow analysis, there was no misclassification of recycled aggregate. In order to redu ce constru ction waste in the existing recycled aggregate production process, adsorption system using a rotating separating net that can be operated as an installation type was built.

건설폐기물에서 발생하는 순환골재의 분류 과정에서 발생하는 이물질을 순환골재 출하 전에 회수하기 위하여 회전분리망 흡착 선별기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 선별기의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, 순환골재에서 자체적으로 회수한 이물질 종류에 따라, 아크릴을 사용하여 규격화된 이물질 샘플을 제작하고, 선별기에서 작동하는 흡입팬의 제어주파수 및 분리망의 흡입구 위치에 따른 선별효율과 순환골재의 오분류율을 평가하여 적절한 운전점을 평가하였다. 순환골재 및 이물질을 입자로 가정한 유동해석을 통해 예측된 선별기의 운전점에서의 분류효율을 평가하였다. 성능 시험 결과 컨베이어 밸트와 흡입구의 거리가 0.2m일 때 95%의 선별효율을 보이는 것으로 나타났으나, 순환골재의 오분류율이 2% 이상으로 선별효율과 2% 이하의 오분류율을 만족하는 운전점은 흡입구 거리 0.254m에서 제어주파수 58Hz으로 나타났다. 유동해석 결과 이물질 선별기에서 순환골재의 오분류는 나타나지 않았다. 기존 순환골재 생산공정에서 이물질 저감을 위해 설치식으로 운용이 가능한 회전분리망을 이용한 풍력 선별시스템을 구축하였다.
