Specific property of ultrafine particle classification

Abstract

In the process of ultrafine particle classification, the separation curve, which reflects the characteristics of separating process, is frequently influenced by the characteristics of separation flow field operating parameters, etc. This paper introduces the concept of system deviation and deduces the calculating method of the separation curves. Meanwhile, it analyses the influences of classification flow field’s specific properties and some operating parameters on the separation curves. The results show that, in the process of ultrafine particle classification, the local vortex in the separation field improves the separation efficiency to a certain degree, but the accuracy will decrease; the coacervation action of particles will seriously influence the classification accuracy.
