Abstract
Plastic recycling is one of the most economical and environment-friendly solutions for effective plastic waste management. Triboelectric separation is one of beneficial methods to accomplish this. A method and device capable of analyzing the triboelectrification of materials with specific initial charges are proposed in this study. The process of triboelectrification is experimentally analyzed for various initial-charge conditions using the proposed method and device. The triboelectrification process can be divided into two groups depending on the initial-charge conditions. For the specific initial conditions, termed Group 2 in this work, it is observed that the initial charge of one material is first released into the control volume, following which the two materials exchange charges, unlike in the conventional triboelectrification process. This study is expected to provide valuable insights into triboelectrification analysis, thereby advancing the multistage plastic-separation processes.
