【 摘 要 】

The paper presents the laboratory researches results regarding the Aghires quarts sand electroseparation, in two configurations for the ILES laboratory installation. The first studied configuration used a performant electrode (multi needles) from the endowment of the Intense Electric Field Laboratory from UTCN, while in the second analyzed configuration, the authors use an original multithreaded electrode, for which they have obtained an OSIM patent. The sand sample preparation for the electroseparation was made according to an original technological flow, proposed by the authors. The comparative analysis of the electroseparation results for the two configurations were made with the help of the statistical analysis program MODDE.5. The comparative study reveals the fact that from the quantitative point of view the multi needles electrode type is preferred, while, in the case in which a superior enrichment is needed for the quartz sand, the multithreaded electrode is preferred. The enriched through electroseparation quartz sand, respectively with low content of Fe2O3, is an essential raw material in the porcelain industry.
