Abstract:
1. In a high-tension electrostatic separator for separating particulate materials based upon conductivity having an electrode assembly, said assembly comprising: a pair of oppositely spaced end panels; an elongate corona support member having opposed end portions disposed inwardly of and supported by respective said end panels; a pair of spaced spacers connected to and laterally extending from said corona support member; an elongate conductive wire extending along a length of said corona support member and extending between said pair of spacers, means for supporting said wire between said spacers and adjusting a tension of said wire to a predetermined tension; and a plurality of elongate static electrodes spaced from said wire and extending substantially parallel to said wire, said plurality of static electrodes being spaced from each other and having opposite end portions connected to said pair of end panels; said end panels having a plurality of spaced holes respectively receiving said static electrodes therethrough and for supporting same in a substantially parallel arrangement to each other; and an elongate mounting support member spaced from said corona support and extending through and outwardly of said end panels.
