Abstract
An apparatus (″) for separating organic material from inorganic material includes a container (), a feeding apparatus (), a charging apparatus (), a lifting apparatus (), a discharging apparatus () and a removal apparatus (). The feeding apparatus () is located in the upper portion of the container (), and it serves to introduce inorganic material polluted with organic material into the container (). The charging apparatus () is located in the lower portion of the container, and it serves to introduce cleaning water into the container (). The lifting apparatus () is located in the container (), and it serves to substantially subject the inorganic and organic material to an upwardly directed component of movement. The lifting apparatus () and the charging apparatus () produce a fluidized layer () in the container () during operation of the apparatus (″). The fluidized layer () causes the organic material to be separated from the inorganic material. The discharging apparatus () is located in the lower portion of the container (), and it serves to discharge inorganic material from the container (). The removal apparatus () is located in the upper portion of the container (), and it serves to remove organic material from the container ().
