An environmentally friendly method to segregate FW from waste mixture has been presented. The potential level of the separator, the rotation speed and electrode gap are chosen as the independent experimental factors. Second-order quadratic equations have been elaborated to correlate the interactive relationship between the experimental factors and the separation efficiency. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that the electrode gap has immense influence on FW separation. The optimal conditions of segregation have been determined as follows: potential level of 30 kV, rotation speed of 60 rpm, electrode gap of 54 mm and a maximal separation efficiency of 84.0%.
