    1. Pneumatic classification parameters

    The main parameters affecting classification depend on the material, the device and its settings.

    1.1.1 Particle density and shape

    All pneumatic selectors classify particles according to their speed of fall in a carrier gas. This speed depends on their density and shape. The more a particle's shape deviates from that of a sphere, the more it behaves as if it were lighter than the same spherical particle. This leads to the definition of a shape coefficientF,...
