ABSTRACT
With the urbanization goes forward, domestic waste increases year by year. According to the statistics, waste plastics occupy 10% of total waste in large and medium-sized cities (Zhu 2010, Li 2013). The wind sorting of waste plastics has been attracted increasingly attentions because it is a kind of non-pollution and high-efficient sorting method. The optimal dimensions of wind nozzles have been identified for accurate sorting of waste plastics by wind sorting devices (Hu 2015). The wind blowing machine’s optimal wind entrance angle has been identified for horizontal wind sorting of domestic wastes (Li 2012). The efficiency of separation and sorting has been enhanced by developing a separation and sorting system for plastic waste (Gao 2009). These studies provide references for further studies of plastic sorting.
