Abstract:
1. A separation arrangement adapted for use in a process of separating between particles of different materials and comprised in a mixture of fine particles, wherein the arrangement comprises: a solid particles feed ingress mechanism, a solid particles pushing/pulling mechanism selected from the group consisting of a gas blower, a fan, a vacuum generating mechanism and any combination thereof that results in the separating between said particles of different materials, and at least one mesh adapted to collect particles of one of the different materials, and wherein the particles comprised in the mixture are allowed to free fall within said separation arrangement towards a lower part thereof, and wherein the particles of said one of the different materials are being extracted away from said free falling particles by said solid particles pushing/pulling mechanism and conveyed towards said at least one mesh, thereby preventing the extracted particles from reaching the lower part of said separation arrangement, whereas the particles of a second material of the mixture are allowed to reach said lower part of said separation arrangement to be removed therefrom.
