Abstract

In this study, several tests were examined to analyze the sortability of magnesium oxide (MgO) by the use of triboelectrostatic belt separation. The objective of the study is to find a dry sorting technique to separate MgO from accompanying components such as CaO and SiO2. The aim of this first series of experiments was to develop knowledge about the triboelectrostatic charging behaviour of magnesium oxide. All sorting tests were carried out by the use of a triboelectrostatic belt separator in lab scale in an air-conditioned room.
