Processing of Mineral Ores by Modern Magnetic Separation Techniques

  • Chapter
Mineral Processing Design

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 122))

Abstract

A review is given of the current state of development of magnetic separation technology in relation to the field of mineral processing. The subject matter is classified in terms of separation devices based upon particle entrapment and upon particle deflection. Of these particular mention is made of the Jones and of the Kolm-Marston separators (particle entrapment) and also of open gradient magnetic separation (particle deflection).

An assesment is made of the influence of cryogenic magnets on the development of this technology and some reference is also made to unit process costs for the various devices.
