Abstract

Coastal debris has emerged as a serious problem of late, but it can be used to produce high-quality solid recovered fuel (SRF). In addition, a parametric study was conducted to determine the effect of changing the suction mode on the particle behavior, and the results revealed that the suction mode influences the flow characteristics inside the sorting system and determines the inflow rate and ratio. Based on these analysis results by numerical analysis, the separation efficiency of each suction mode was numerically predicted. The optimal model as B2 had the highest separation efficiency of 80.2%. These study findings will offer appropriate wind power sorting conditions according to the purpose of separating the target material from the coastal debris for solid fuel production including their next product through sorting.
