Sažetak
The chapter discusses the problem of waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) as one of the largest growing waste streams globally, the influence of the product complexity and liberation in separation, and the basics of electrostatic separation. A very short review of mechanical separation processes is given and research conducted on one fraction of CRT TV set is presented. A CRT TV set fraction with higher copper content consists of yokes of a cathode tube, cables, connectors and wires which were tested by electrostatic separation method. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of electrostatic separation, to determine and rank influence of separator operating parameters and to set models for assessment of the concentrate quality and recovery of metals. The results showed that it is possible to achieve high quality of concentrates (metal content from 77 to 100%), while recovery varies greatly (from 10 to 99%).
