Title: Method of thermographic lump separation of raw material (variants) and device for implementation thereof (variants)
Inventor: VOLOSHYN VOLODYMYR MYCHAILOVIC
IPC: B07C5/36
Filed: 2004-06-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for thermographically separating lumpy feedstock, and may be used for dressing ferrous and non-ferrous metal ores, mining chemical feedstock, secondary raw material and technogenic waste using an ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic field (UHF). Said radiation frequency is selected in such a way that the electromagnetic wave penetration depth dependent of lump material properties is greater than the lump maximum linear dimension at the peak attenuation of the electromagnetic wave. UHF electromagnetic radiation energy absorbed by the lump material initiates the heating of the components thereof, wherein the component exhibiting a greater electrical conductivity absorbs the greater amount of UHF energy than the component exhibiting a lower electric conductivity during the same time, whereby the heating temperatures of the useful component and the barren stock measured after irradiation are different.
