Device for sorting particulate stream with pre-sieve and mechanical impacts
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240009705A1) describes a device for continuously sorting a particulate stream, featuring a conveyor, a sieve for size separation, a pre-sieve with elongated sieve openings, and a mechanical impact device for providing impacts to the pre-sieve. The pre-sieve includes elongated sieve openings at an angle of -40° to 40° with the conveyor direction, and encloses part of the conveyor screw circumference in an axial end portion. The width of the elongate openings increases from the base to the tip of the fingers, with specific dimensions provided for the width and length of the fingers, as well as the mesh size of the sieve.
Furthermore, the patent application includes claims related to the use of the device for separating a particulate ash stream from a fluidized bed boiler, as well as a method for operating a fluidized bed boiler involving the separation of ash stream fractions using the described device. The method includes recirculating a separated particle fraction back into the fluidized bed boiler, with specific details provided for the type of boiler, the composition of the fluidized bed and ash stream, and the enrichment of ilmenite particles in the recirculated fraction. Additionally, the method involves the use of a magnetic separator with a specified field strength for separation, aiming to achieve a certain fraction of ilmenite in the bed material.
