Abstract
An electrostatic separation apparatus for conductive particles and insulating particles with reduced separation time and improved separating capability, comprises a substantially flat-plate shaped bottom electrode () provided on lower side, a substantially flat-plate shaped mesh electrode () provided above the bottom electrode () as spaced a predetermined distance apart from the bottom electrode () and having a number of openings () to allow particles to pass therethrough, a direct current power supply connected to at least one of the mesh electrode () and the bottom electrode (), and a voltage is applied across the bottom electrode () and the mesh electrode (), thereby forming a separation zone () between the electrodes.
