Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007016711A1] The invention relates to a method for classifying and separating particles in a fluid stream, according to which the particles are sprayed and electrically charged and deviated in an electrical field. According to the invention, a partial flow of the charged or ionised particles is introduced into an analyser (4) and deviated under variation of the applied high voltage or electrical field, particles penetrating a detection chamber (10) according to separation criteria such as charge or particle size. The high voltage and/or field intensity corresponding to a species detected in the detector chamber (10) are read and/or stored as a reference value. The particle flow is guided into a separator (5) wherein the high voltage and/or field intensity previously determined as a reference value are adjusted, and particles of the species deviated in the detection chamber (10) in the analyser (4) are correspondingly enriched and extracted.
