<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain energy required when implementing a separation technology by means of atomization. <P>SOLUTION: A separation apparatus includes an atomization chamber 10 for atomizing a solution to produce gas that contains particles; a classifier 20 for classifying the particles; a first tube 1 connecting the atomization chamber 10 to the classifier 20; a recovery tank 30 for condensing and recovering the gas that contains the particles; a second tube 2 connecting the classifier 20 to the recovery tank 30; and a third tube 3 connecting the recovery tank 30 to the atomization chamber 10. A blower 40 that pressurizes the gas is disposed at an intermediate part of the second tube 2, and a pressure recovery device 50 and a heat exchanger 60 are provided straddling the second tube 2 and the third tube 3. Pressure generated in the blower 40 is transferred from the gas in the third tube 3 to the gas in the second tube 2 by the pressure recovery device 50, and compression heat generated due to pressurization by the blower 40 is transferred from the gas in the second tube 2 to the gas in the third tube 3 by the heat exchanger 60. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
