Abstract
Due to the inadequate pre-dispersion and high dust concentration in the grading zone of the turbo air classifier, a new rotor-type dynamic classifier with air and material entering from the bottom was designed. The effect of the rotor cage structure and diversion cone size on the flow field and classification performance of the laboratory-scale classifier was comparatively analyzed by numerical simulation using ANSYS-Fluent. The grinding process performance with an industrial classifier was also tested on-site. The results revealed that an inverted cone-type rotor cage is more suitable for the under-feed classifier. When the rotor cage’s top-surface diameter to bottom-surface diameter ratio was too large or too small, the radial velocity and tangential velocity at the outer surface of the rotor cage greatly fluctuated. Furthermore, the diameter of the diversion cone also affected the axial velocity and radial velocity of the flow field. Models T-C(1-0.8) and T-D(1-0.7) were determined as the best rotor cage structures. Under stable operating conditions, the classification efficiency of the industrial classifier was 87% and the sharpness of separation was 0.58, which meet the industrial requirements for classification efficiency and energy consumption. This present study provides theoretical guidance and engineering application value for air classifiers.

Abstract
During the transportation and packaging of low density polyethylene (LDPE) granular materials, fine dusts such as floccules, powder and fiber will be produced, which pollute the environment, affect product quality and generate fire hazards. In this work, the separation performance of fine dust and optimal operating conditions of an improved elutriator were investigated experimentally. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of air speed, feeding speed, and grid layout on the removal efficiency of fine particles. Experimental data showed that the separation efficiency of the novel elutriator ranged from 96% to 98.50%, which was more stable and an average of 51.44% higher than that of the original elutriator. By setting internals and improving the structure, the gas flow field in the equipment was regulated, the particle dispersion was intensified, and the static electricity was eliminated, which significantly improved the separation efficiency of fine dust.

Abstract
In this work, a centrifugal classifier for separating lithium carbonate particles, used as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, was investigated. This work numerically evaluates the internal flow and particle separation performance of the centrifugal classifier. The complex turbulent flow field in the classifier is key to understanding particle motion. A Reynolds stress model, to describe air flow field, and a discrete phase model, to track particle motion, were applied to a numerical simulation. Design parameters such as mass flow rate and rotor speed were investigated, and a ring-shaped baffle, in particular, was designed to investigate the effects of flow and particle separation in the centrifugal classifier. The simple geometry of the baffle changes the movement direction of unseparated particles to the rotor cage region, and increases the local air velocity in the separation zone. The numerical analysis results were verified through a baffle experiment.
