Dielectrophoretic particle separator using mesh stacked electrodes and simplified model for multistage separation

▸ Dielectrophoretic separator using mesh-stacked electrodes is newly proposed. ▸ Metallic particles can be separated from mixture with insulating particles. ▸ Multistage operation is proposed to achieve high separation extent. ▸ An empirical model to calculate the separation extent is proposed. ▸ An optimized condition can be predicted by using this model.
