PMET's Carbon Separation/Purification technology has been designed to recover high purity, high margin carbon products from fly ash/carbon mixtures for use as sorbents, pigments, fillers, fuel additives, and other applications currently utilizing primary carbon grades. This technology provides an efficient, cost effective method for removing, concentrating, and recovering commercially viable carbon-rich materials from the high-carbon by-product resulting from the initial removal of carbon from ash and from certain as-combusted high-carbon ash/carbon mixtures.
Efficient carbon separation/recovery is achieved by combining mechanical, pneumatic, and electrostatic means in order to:
- produce carbon-rich products having
carbon contents greater than 85-90%
- produce very fine low-carbon silica
ash products with enhanced
pozzolanic properties
- increase recovery by liberating
adhered and/or entrapped carbon from
the ash particles and adhered and/or
entrapped ash from the carbon particles
- produce ash and carbon products of
controlled particle size
