Abstract

The industrial aim associated to this project is to improve the efficiency of a novel device that separates glass and plastic particles from a co-mingled waste product coming from Material Recovery Facilities (MRF). This waste product is mainly composed of glass, plastic, paper-based materials and metals. However, most of the metals are removed from the raw product before this enters the separator, whereas paper and other cellulose-based materials are suspended in water. Thus, the main task of this device is to separate plastics that are lighter and heavier than water from glass; and the later water treatment that permits to filter the pulp suspended in it.
