Abstract

The optimization of film-unloading and film–soil separation components can effectively improve the residual film unloading rate and reduce impurity content. So, the DEM models of soil and residual film were established and the suspension and flow characteristics under fluid action were analyzed based on the CFD—DEM coupling simulation in this article. The matching parameters of the film-unloading and film-lifting device were optimized with the Box–Behnken test. When the wind velocity was between 1.65 and 10.54 m · s − 1 , the film–soil separation effect was the best, with a film–impurity separation rate of 96.6%. The optimized parameter combination of the film-unloading device and film-lifting device is A = 9°, B = 40 mm, and C = 40 mm (A, B, and C represent the angle between the teeth and the normal of the air inlet, the minimum distance between the teeth and the air inlet, and the width of the air inlet, respectively). With the optimized parameter, the best film unloading effect is achieved, the minimum wind velocity of film unloading is 2.6 m · s − 1 . This article provides theoretical and simulation methods for assessing the flow characteristics of flexible particles and parameter optimization of air suction devices, which is conducive to the high-purity recovery of residual film.
