A solid-liquid fluidized bed of inert particles can be used to separate pure objects from a mixture. Pieces of plastic sheet were selected as the objects to be separated. To estimate the separation characteristics, the behavior of pieces of plastic sheet in the bed was examined experimentally. Slow stirring was used to improve the fluidization state of the bed. The object size and the volume ratio of objects to inert particles were varied. The use of stirring of the bed was effective in improving the fluidization state of the bed, and the objects, which sank in the bed without stirring, moved from the bottom to the upper portion of the bed at a certain liquid velocity. This liquid velocity increases with decreasing object size, and it also increases as the volume ratio of objects to inert particles in the bed increases. When the volume ratio of objects to inert particles is too high, the objects are distributed throughout the entire bed, regardless of the liquid velocity.
