Strong Magnetic Field Magnetic Selector
Magnetic separation is an important part of mineral processing and is used in the chemical and metallurgical industries for the recovery of valuable minerals from non-magnetic materials. During the past few decades, the traditional magnetic separation techniques, such as cobbing and hand picking, have been unable to meet the expectations of the mineral processing industry, due to the small equipment size and low processing capacity.
To overcome this problem, strong magnetic field magnetic separators have been developed and are now widely used in many minerals processing applications. These machines use high magnetic field intensities to effectively recover valuable minerals, even particles of a very small size. They are well-suited for applications that require excellent separation efficiency and are especially useful in the area of custom and specialty products.
Traditional magnetic separation methods are based on applying a low or intermediate magnetic field intensity to the material. Strong magnetic field separators, however, utilize a high magnetic field intensity. This intense field can be used to effectively recover minerals, even particles of a very small size such as particle sizes in the low micron range, providing a better recovery and higher yields.
Strong magnetic field separators are available in various sizes and configurations. The most commonly used machines are roll-type separators, which consist of a roll-type shell rotated around a central axis. Roll-type separators are designed to process a wide range of materials but are especially suited for the recovery of fine particles. This type of separator has the advantage of being able to separate particles of a designated size range with a high degree of precision.
Other strong magnetic field separators include drum separators, which use a non-magnetic medium, such as water, in order to move the minerals through a chamber. This type of separation is especially useful for recovering large particles of mixed radioactive heavy minerals, such as uranium or thorium. In addition, these separators are also used to recover smaller particles, such as ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, monazite, feldspar, and other valuable minerals.
The strong magnetic field separator can also be used in combination with other conventional mineral processing methods, such as crushing, grinding, and flotation, to further enhance the separation of valuable materials. This can significantly improve the efficiency and yield of the process.
Today, strong magnetic field separators are used in a wide range of industries, such as iron ore, coal, and other minerals processing, ceramics, food and beverage, and even in the recovery of valuable minerals from salty water. The strength of the magnetic field and the material used to create the field can be adjusted to fit the needs of the process. With its highly efficient separation process, the strong magnetic field separator has become the preferred choice for many mineral processing applications.
