The magnetic separation tests were done using a wet low-intensity drum magnetic separator. The length and diameter of the magnetic separator were 50 and 30 cm, respectively. The intensity of the magnetic separator was determined to be 1000 Gauss by a TM-701 Gauss-meter, Japan. The effects of feed size, solid content, and drum

Low-grade iron ore mined from the earth is usually composed of several minerals, desirable and undesirable. Magnetic separation means applying a magnetic field of appropriate intensity, gradient, and other conditions to separate different minerals according to their differences in magnetic susceptibility. 9.3.

Keywords: magnetic separator; permanent magnet; dry pre-sorting; iron ore; review 1.

A magnetic separator is generally classified as low intensity if its maximum field intensity is less than about 2000 gauss (H= 1.6 x 105 A/m, B=0.20 T). Low intensity magnetic separators (LIMS) are used to treat ferromagnetic and highly paramagnetic minerals such as iron and magnetite. High intensity magnetic separators (HIMS) generally have field

The sample was then submitted for wet low-intensity magnetic separation (WLIMS) using Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) tests at 1000, 2000, and at 3000 Gauss to optimize parameters for the rejection of entrapped impurities and to maximize recovered iron values. Assuming complete conversion to magnetite, 3000 Gauss is an excessively …

This chapter introduces the principle of how low-grade iron ores are upgraded to high quality iron ore concentrates by magnetic separation. Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on earth and can be readily extracted by low-intensity magnetic separators from magnetite ores.

Rougher magnetic separation stage using the counter rotation drum configurations. Studies were conducted for three different feed pulp densities of 20%, 30% and 40% solids.

Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator Reading wet high intensity magnetic separators (WHIMS) have been extensively used throughout the mineral sands industry for more than 30 years and have been modifi ed to accommodate the separation of iron ore and other …

Magnetic Separation and Iron Ore Beneficiation. Magnetic separation is an old technique for the concentration of iron ores and for the removal of tramp iron. Since 1849, a number of patents on magnetic …

3.11.2.5 Magnetic Separation. Magnetic separation is a process where a contaminant is first attached onto a magnetic carrier material (e.g., magnetite), and subsequently, the contaminant-laden carrier is separated under a magnetic field. The simplest magnetic separator is a permanent magnet.

The laboratory-scale Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS) features two electromagnetic copper coils mounted either side of a canister housing a matrix, which captures magnetically-susceptible particles. The electromagnetic coils project a manually controlled magnetic field of between 0-20,000 Gauss (0-2 Tesla) into the …

An innovative precise low-intensity magnetic separator (PLIMS) was developed for recovering low-grade magnetite. The effects of the key parameters on the separation performance of the PLIMS in recovering magnetite were investigated. The results indicated that the drum rotation speed and feed particle size played major roles in …

The Low intensity magnetic separators are available in several types for vast number of duties and could be seen as split into two categories, i.e. dry separation and wet ... like crushed iron ore. The wet models are designed for material of a few micrometres size to less than around 6 - 8 mm suspended in water. For both separator types a ...

Dwari et al. (2013) used a combination of dry and wet magnetic separation methods to upgrade a low-grade siliceous iron ore with magnetite, hematite, and goethite as major iron minerals. The study showed that for particles finer than 200 µm, the separation methods produced a magnetic concentrate with 67% iron and iron recovery …

Magnetic separation is a versatile technique widely used in the mining industry.
