The invention relates to a method for selectively separating mixed
synthetic organic materials such as filled or non-filled polymers and/or
copolymers that are wastes, particularly used, for recycling in order to
upgrade them. These synthetic organic materials result from the
destruction by crushing of automobiles and durable consumer goods that
have reached the end of their serviceable lives. Said selective
separation method acts by separating these materials with regard to a
density threshold selected in a dense medium consisting of separating
fluid liquid suspensions composed of powdery particles dispersed in an
aqueous phase. These suspensions are stabilized by using a dynamic
stabilizing means at a density threshold value selected for causing the
selective separation of a determined fraction from the mixture of the
used materials to be separated.
