This work is devoted to the problem of vibration pneumatic separation of milled product of rubber-fibre waste. It is established that worn rubber products are a valuable secondary raw material. We studied the mechanical technology for the processing of rubber products, based on the processes of multistage grinding with an initial removing the bead wire and steel cord. The analysis showed that the most simple and qualitative way of separating of crumb rubber is vibration pneumatic separation. A separation of crushed rubber waste on the vibrating table with the use of air blowing of the textile component will allow separating of dissimilar particles of the initial mixture as efficiently as possible. The operation of the vibro-pneumatic separator is influenced by many factors, including the angle of inclination of the vibrating table, the amplitude of its oscillations, as well as the magnitude of the aerodynamic lifting force of the air flow. We have conducted research to identify the impact of these factors on the efficiency of sieving and purity of the crumb rubber of different fractions at the outlet. The aim of this work is to study the process vibration pneumatic separation of rubber-cord compound and the development of its hardware design. To achieve this aim the following tasks were set and solved: development of a new modernized system; determination of dependencies between the rate of transport of rubber-cord compound, the angle of inclination of the vibrating table and the amplitude-frequency characteristics; obtaining the calculated dependencies allowing to determine the velosity of entrainment of the cord fibers and crumb rubber.Forcitation:Kozlov А.М., Blinichev V.N.

In this paper, the process of spheroidization of natural graphite powders on an original impact-reflecting mill with internal separation of particles was investigated. It was established that the process of spheroidization of natural graphite by impact depends both on the intensity and duration of mechanical activation. For the type of mill used, the critical linear velocity of the impact elements of the mill rotor, at which the graphite particles can be spheroidized, is 45 m/s. An increase in the linear rotational speed of the mill (intensity of impact) leads to a decrease in the average particle size, an increase in particle roundness, but significantly increases product losses. In the process of mechanical activation by impact, it is possible to increase the coefficient of roundness of the graphite particles to an average value of 0.8-0.9, which leads to compaction of graphite powders. The presence of ash impurities has a negative effect on the ability of natural graphite powders to compact. A mechanism is proposed for the process of spheroidization of graphite particles in a shock-reflecting mill. According to the proposed mechanism, at first, small-sized graphite plates are detached and deformed due to impact. As the free energy accumulates, agglomeration of deformed particles into spheres takes place. With increasing processing time, the surface of the particles is smoothed due to their friction with each other and against the wall of the mill. Powders of spherical graphite obtained by the proposed method have shown the possibility of their use as an anode material of lithium-ion batteries. The type of equipment investigated has made it possible to reduce the required number of pieces of equipment from 20 to 12 impact mills per line in comparison with foreign analogues.
