  • A particle flow visualization, electrostatic charging measurement and separation of triboelectrically charged particles in the external electric field by a fluidized bed tribocharger are conducted for the removal of PVC particles from mixed waste plastics. The laboratory-scale triboelectrostatic separation system consists of the fluidized bed tribocharger, a separation chamber, a collection chamber and a controller. PVC and PET particles can be imparted negative and positive surface charges respectively due to the difference of triboelectric charging series between particles and particles in the fluidized bed tribocharger, and can be separated by passing them through an external electric field. To visualize these charged particles, He-Ne laser is used with cylindrical lenses to generate a sheet beam. In the charging measurement, the particle motion analysis system (PMAS), capable of determining particle velocity and diameter. is used to non-intrusively measure particle behavior in high strength electric field. The average charge-to-mass ratios of PVC and PET particles are $1.4\;and\;1.2{\mu}C/kg$, respectively. The highly concentrated PVC (91.9%) can be recovered with a yield of about 96.1% from the mixture of PVC and PET materials for a single-stage processing. The triboelectrostatic separation system using the fluidized tribocharger shows the potential to be an effective method for removing PVC from mixed plastics for waste plastic recycling.

  • This study was carried out to determine the factor of a separating system according to the pepper varieties and the absence of a card cleaner system. The pepper varieties of Jeokyoung and AR-Legend were transplanted on November 20, 2019 and tested on March 18, 2020 with a harvesting speed of 0.2 m·s-1 for 10 pepper plants. The performance evaluation was determined by analyzing the separation efficiency of the peppers and the foreign matter mixing rate. The pepper harvester with a card cleaner showed a higher separation efficiency of the peppers compared to the pepper harvester without a card cleaner. The average separation efficiency of peppers on the pepper harvester with a card cleaner was higher at 13.5% for Jeokyoung and 1.9% for AR-Legend than that without a card cleaner. The mixing ratio of foreign materials on the pepper harvester with a card cleaner was lower at 8.7% and 2.5% for Jeokyoung and AR-Legend than that without a card cleaner, respectively. For the two-way ANOVA results according to the variety and the card cleaner, there was no effect on the separation efficiency of the peppers, but there was an effect on the foreign matter mixing rate.

  • Magnetic separation technology for small paramagnetic particles has been desired for the volume reduction of contaminated soil from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident and for the separation of scale and crud from nuclear power plants. However, the magnetic separation for paramagnetic particles requires a superconducting high gradient magnetic separation system applied, hence expanding the bore diameter of the magnets is necessary for mass processing and the initial and running costs would be enormous. The use of high magnetic fields makes safe onsite operation difficult, and there is an industrial need to increase the magnetic separation efficiency for paramagnetic particles in as low a magnetic field as possible. Therefore, we have been developing a magnetic separation system combined with a selection tube, which can separate small paramagnetic particles in a low magnetic field. In the previous technique we developed, a certain range of particle size was classified, and the classified particles were captured by magnetic separation. In this new approach, the fluid control method has been improved in order to the selectively classify particles of various diameters by using a multi-stage selection tube. The soil classification using a multi-stage selection tube was studied by calculation and experiment, and good results were obtained. In this paper, we report the effectiveness of the multi-stage selection tube was examined.

  • In this note, a separation principle of the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy-model-based controller/observer is investigated. The separation principle of T-S fuzzy-model-based controller/observer sharing the premise parts in the fuzzy rule with directly measurable premise variables is well established. In that case, the fact that the augmented observer-based control system has the eigenvalues of the sub-closed-loop control system by the state-feedback controller and the sub-closed-loop observer error system is used to prove the separation principle. This paper studies the separation principle of T-S fuzzy-model-based controller/observer in which the premise variables cannot be directly measurable.

  • In this paper, the separation force measuring system is developed. The separation force aries due to adhesive strength between semiconductor epoxy molding compound(EMC) and the metal plate in semiconductor formed plate. In general, when removing the metal plate in semiconductor formed plate from semiconductor epoxy molding compound, excessive strength can result in a increase in semiconductor defect rates, or conversely, if too little force is exerted on the metal plate in semiconductor formed plate, the semiconductor production rates can decrease. In this study, the design criteria for the selection of the AC servo motor, the role of the ball screw, the relationship between the load cell and the ball screw, and the rate of deceleration are given. In addition, minimizing the reject rate of semiconductors and maximizing the semiconductor production rate are achieved through the standardization of the collected separation force data measured by the proposed system.

  • Hydrocyclone has been widely used for the solid-Liquid separation in many industrial sites because of its comparatively preferable applications that can be applied to wide-range panicle sizes. If seawater with impurities flows through pumps or heat exchanger, it might cause an decrease in efficiency of cooling system. In this paper, we have suggested solid methods of separating impurities from seawater in the cooling system by using a Hydrocyclone. The effects of design factors as solid concentration, cyclone inlet pressure, flow rate and diameter of underflow on the seperating performance of the Hydrocyclone were investigated. The results from the study are summarized as follows: 1) In proportion to the increase of solid concentration, the efficiency of solid-liquid separation is improved. 2) According as the cyclone inlet pressure increases the efficiency of separation is improved. Conclusively, this research suggested that the Hydrocyclone will be used as a pre-treatment system of cooling water in ships, and eventually prevent unexpected accidents in engine systems.

  • Wedging in a frictional elastic system is defined if the state of stick exists after the external loading on the system is removed. This paper presents a method to determine the critical coefficient of wedging for an elastic frictional system by considering the separation state. Wedging is always possible if the coefficient of friction exceeds a critical value known as the critical wedging coefficient. This method requires two concepts: a necessary and sufficient condition for wedging, which can be interpreted as positive spanning sets of constraint vectors existing in the wedged system, and the minimal positive basis that enables a minimum wedging coefficient. The algorithm based on the positive spanning concept is repeatedly executed after eliminating nodes from the contact stiffness matrix, for which the separation states are impending. The simulation results show that once a node enters the separation state, it never returns to the contact state again and the critical wedging coefficient reduces during repeated algorithm execution. The benefit of this method is that the computation time permits handling models with large numbers of contact nodes. The algorithm can also numerically find the critical wedging coefficient, thereby contributing to fastening and assembly performance improvements in mechanical systems.

  • Separation Devices have two functions. These two functions are to bond and to separate two bodies. This paper is about separation devices which use explosives to separate their bodies. Explosive bolt is separated with two bodies when the explosives in the body detonated. The good things of explosive bolt are that it has simple operational system and it is made of few parts. But it has side effects; fragment and pyre-shock. To avoid these side effects gas expansion separation(GES) bolt and pressure cartridge actuation separation(PAS) devices are invented. These use pressure to separate their bodies. The pressure is generated when explosives are burned. But the sizes of PAS devices are bigger than explosive bolts. And GES bolt has a mechanically lower bonding ability than that of explosive bolt. When you design separation devices, it is recommended to know operational system and characteristics of separation devices, to design best one.

  • In the mine exploration sites, sustainable treatment system of mine water with energy saving and minimized chemical additives is required. Since most of the mine water contains highly-concentrated ferrous ion, it is necessary to study on the removal method of iron ions. We propose the system consisting of two processes; precipitation process by air oxidation using solid catalyst-modified magnetite and separation process combining gravitational sedimentation and magnetic separation using a permanent magnet. Firstly, in the precipitation process (a former process of the system), we succeeded to prepare solid catalyst-modified magnetite. Air oxidation using solid catalyst-modified magnetite using $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ as a starting material showed high iron removal capability. Secondly, in the separation process (latter process of the system), solid catalyst-modified magnetite using $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ as a starting material can be separated by a superconducting bulk magnet and a permanent magnet.

  • Phase spearated glass is heterogeneous in microscopic point of view and the heterogeneities affect the structures of glasses. In the present work the phase separation of $BaO-B_2O_3$ glass system was investigated and the effect of $P_2O_5$ on the phase separation and crystallization was also studied in the above system. Experiments such as scanning electron microscopy X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy were performed. Phase separation with $B_2O_3$ rich phase matrix and BaO rich phase droplet was observed for the glasses containing less than 6 mole% of BaO while the opposite morphology of phase separation was found for the glasses containing more than 7 mole% of BaO. Phase separation region was extended up to the glass with 22mole% of BaO when the amount of $P_2O_5$ was increased. The heat-treated glasses crystallized to BaO.$4B_2O_3$$P_2O_5$ hindered the glass from the crystalli-zation.
