Read MoreThe high-gradient magnetic separation process is a technique used in heavy industries, particularly steel mills, to extract magnetic particles from mixtures. The difficulty of separating the slightly magnetic particles from the nonmagnetic ones lies in the distribution of the magnetic field and the fine-ness of their class to be separated.
Read MoreIn any given separation it is customary to describe the two products as "magnetic" and "nonmagnetic" respectively. This is abitrary, because all materials, solids, liquids and gases, have definable magnetic properties. The success of a separation depends on the difference in magnetic response and the rate at which the separation may be ...
