PARTICLE RECOVERY METHOD AND PARTICLE RECOVERY DEVICE

To provide: a particle recovery method which can make one device continuously perform a recovering step and a cleaning step for particles in slurry; and a particle recovery device.SOLUTION: A particle recovery device according to the present invention recovers particles dispersed in liquid by attaching the particles to the vicinities of electrodes by electrophoresis, and comprises: a processing tank for storing the liquid; a pair of the electrodes arranged in the processing tank; and a power source that applies voltages to the pair of electrodes, which is further provided with relative movement means that can move the particles attaching to the vicinities of the electrodes and liquid around the particles relatively to each other, so as to apply shear force to the particles attaching to the vicinities of the electrodes to redisperse the particles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】スラリー中の粒子の回収工程と洗浄工程を一つの装置で連続して行うことが可能な粒子回収方法、及び粒子回収装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の粒子回収装置は、液体中に分散されている粒子を電気泳動によって電極近傍に付着させて回収する粒子回収装置であって、前記液体を収容する処理槽と、該処理槽中に配置された一対の電極と、該一対の電極間に電圧を付与する電源とを備え、前記電極近傍に付着した粒子と該粒子周囲の液体とを相対運動させることにより該電極近傍に付着した粒子に剪断力を付与して再分散させることが可能な相対運動手段が設けられていることを特徴とする。【選択図】図２
