    Abstract:

    Material re-processing is commonly applied in material separation systems with the aim of increasing the output purity and amount of recovered materials. In spite of its importance, there is no model in the literature for quantitative evaluation of material re-processing. In this paper a methodology that is called linearization is introduced for quantitative analysis of material re-processing. In this method material re-circulation is modeled by substituting the actual machine with a linear system of inter-connected machines. Different experiments are performed for method validation and investigating the effect of material re-processing on separation process performance. The results verify the precision of the linearization method and its applicability in real separation processes. <br /><br />Keywords: Re-process, Linearization, Material separation, Process optimization
