PG - 54-61 LID - S0956-053X(19)30256-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.wasman.2019.04.043 [doi] AB - The separation of waste plastics is an important part of solid waste recycling. Based on the density difference between high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), this paper used the experimental research and CFD numerical simulation to study the separation performance by using the light medium separation technology with hydrocyclones. Results showed that with the increase of feed flow rate, the pressure drop increased as a power function, the Newton efficiency peaked at the feed flow rate of 3.6 m(3)/h and peaked at the volume ratio of PP to HDPE particles of 2.0 respectively.
