The paper presents the grounds for selecting the right
types of apparatus for the classification of powderlike
berthinate. The results of berthinate classification
using both the zigzag-shaped apparatus and the Hukki
classifier are summarised. A comparative evaluation of
berthinate separation according to Gaudin's index of
selectivity and Barsky's coefficient of efficiency is
given.
The paper contains a description of the results from a
comparison of the adsorption capacity of the berthinate
classes obtained and the possibility of utilising the
classifiers for the separation of different peat
products.
The work was concluded by obtaining new data on the
classification of powderlike products with small (0.2 mm)
boundary particles. When investigating the problem for an
industrial application, the results obtained can be
recommended when working out the technical functions of
pilot-plant equipment for peat berthinate classification
or a pilot installation for the separation of some other
peat products.
