Abstract

Provided is a dry separation apparatus including: a main body; a first deck; a plurality of guides; a supply part; an air blow fan; and a vibration part. A dry separation method includes: supplying an object to be separated to a top surface of a first deck provided with a plurality of punches; sending, by an air blow fan, air to the punches (first punches); and horizontally vibrating, by a vibration part, the first deck so as to discharge particles which have different specific gravities of the object to be separated and a moveable force exerted by air passing the first punches through different passages.

First claim

What is claimed are:

1. A dry separation method, comprising:
supplying an object to be separated to a top surface of a first deck, the first deck inclined to one side in a front and rear direction and one side in a left and right direction and provided with a plurality of first punches and a plurality of guides;
providing, by an air blow fan under the first deck, air to the first punches; and
horizontally vibrating, by a vibration part, the first deck to separate the object into a plurality of particles such that a first group of the particles with a first range of specific gravity is discharged in a first direction along the guides, a second group of the particles with a second range of specific gravity is discharged in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a third group of the particles having a third range of specific gravity is discharged over the guides in a third direction intersecting the first direction,
wherein the third range is a range between the first range and the third range.

2. The dry separation method of claim 1 , wherein the supplying includes supplying the object to the top surface of the first deck having a stepped surface to prevent the particles having different specific gravities from being discharged in a same direction.

3. The dry separation method of claim 1 , wherein the horizontally vibrating is performed in such a way to satisfy the following Equation 1 in a state in which driving frequency of the air blow fan is constant and a vibration frequency applied to the first deck is constant,
<Equation 1>
CR=0.2173FR 2 +−7.6525FR+93.385 (where CR represents a recovery rate of the particles to be recovered included in the object to be separated, and FR represents supply amount of the object to be separated per hour in the supplying, and ranges from 2 to 6).

4. The dry separation method of claim 1 , wherein the horizontally vibrating is performed in such a way to satisfy the following Equation 2 in a state in which a vibration frequency applied to the first deck is constant and a supply amount of crushed matters of run of mine coal in the object per hour in the horizontally vibrating is constant,
<Equation 2>
CR=0.0221ABF 2 −1.4684ABF+91.983 (where CR represents a recovery rate of the particles to be recovered included in the object to be separated, and ABF represents a driving frequency of the air blow fan and ranges from 30 to 60).
