MAGNETIC SEPARATION

ON
MAGNETIC

INTRODUCTION
Magnetic separation is a process in which
magnetically susceptible material is
extracted from a mixture using a magnetic
force.
Since 19th century magnetic separation processes have
been used to concentrate and separate minerals.

INTRODUCTION
#

By combining the different forces of


magnets with
gravitational or frictional forces a
separation of
mineral particle is possible. Two or more
products
are obtained depending on their
commercial
value, these products are concentrates,
middlings,
or tailings.

APPLICATION OF MAGNETISM AS
SEPARATOR
Basically Magnetism is used for five distinct type of
separation :
1.For the removal of iron in coarse and
intermediate- crushing circuits, as a
protection to the crushing machine.
2.For the concentration of iron ore other than
magnetite, after preliminary conversion of
iron minerals to artificial magnetite by
suitable Roasting.

4. For the removal of small quantities of iron ore


minerals from Ceramic raw materials.
5. For the concentration of slightly Paramagnetic
minerals such as those of Manganese, tungsten,
chromium, tin, zinc, titanium, etc.

CLASSIFICATION OF MAGNETIC
SEPARATOR
It can be classified according to the medium
in which the separation is made, the mode of
the presentation of the feed, the mode of
disposal of the products, & whether the
magnets are stationary or moving.

IMPORTANT TYPES OF MAGNETIC


SEPARATOR
1.EDISON SEPARATOR
2.BALL NORTON SEPARATOR
3.MAGNETIC DRUM SEPARATOR
4.ROLLAR TYPE SEPATOR
5.GRAVITY FEED MAGNETIC SEPARATOR
6.MAGNETIC COOLENT SEPARATOR
7.WET DRUM SEPRATOR

EDISON SEPARATOR
Edison separator consists of a
bar magnet . The ore as thin
streams falls in front of the
poles, susceptible particles
being deflected inwards &
nonsusceptible particles
continuing to fall undeflected.
This separator was not
wholly successful because of
inability of control flow of solid
in a thin sheet, & because of
lack of control over the speed

Ball Norton Separator


Unlike most magnetic separators which are used to
remove relatively small amounts of metal, the Ball Norton
Separator is designed to handle large amounts of ferrous
material - removing other undesirable elements. A unique
combination of alternating magnetic poles and vibratory
conveying works to clean the magnetic material.
Applications include foundry shot, crushed borings, slag
and magnetic ores.

MAGNETIC DRUM SEPARATOR

Magnetic drum separators are


important magnetic separators that
removes ferrous metal from dry bulk
products in free-flowing processing
systems. They are self cleaning unit
consisting of drums and housing
normally of stainless steel. The magnetic
drum separators are available both in
single or double drum configuration.

How it Works?
The processing materials enters the top of the
magnetic drum separator and flows across the
surface of the drum. The rotatory drum in the
magnetic field captures the ferrous tramps
whereas non ferrous falls free from the drum into
the cleaned material flow. As the drum rotates,
the ferrous metal so captured is carried past the
diverter and released outside of the magnetic
field.

Applications
The magnetic drum separator is ideal for separating iron
particles from granules & powders It is widely used in the
following industries:
Glass
Ceramic
Chemical
Fertilizer
Plastic
Food industry
Iron and steel slag treatment
Reduced pyrite ash separation
Metal powder production

Roller type magnetic


separator is meant to separate
ferrous contaminants from the
flimsy magnetized dry granular
metallic and nonmetallic
materials. Roller type magnetic
separator has wide application in
industries and mineral
technology. The separator uses
high powered rare earth magnets
with very low dimensional
tolerance. The other components
of the machine are conveyor and
vibratory feeder. The magnetic
rolls are available in different
widths
and
magnetic strength
How it
Works?

The material is discharge on the belt by the feeder. The


magnetic roll is enveloped by the conveyor. The para and
ferro magnetic ingredients remains stuck to the belt
whereas non magnetic ingredients passes freely at the
end of the conveyor.

Applications
Roller type magnetic separator finds applications in the
following areas like:
Glass industries
Abrasive refractory
Quartz cleaning
Upgrading of graphite
Recovery of metals from slag removal of ferro silicates
Chemical industries

Gravity feed magnets separates ferrous


tramp metal through gravity system. These
magnets are constructed out of welded stainless
steel and are available in stainless steel
structure. The gravity magnet comes in different
shapes and sizes and are ideal for narrow chute
applications. Gravity feed magnets are normally
used in vertical flow system.

Applications
Gravity magnetic separators have different industrial and
commercial usage. They are applied in industries like:
Food industry
Chemical industry
Grain processing industries
Pharmaceutical industries

MAGNETIC COOLENT SEPARATOR


Magnetic coolant separator is
a device which cleans the
coolant liquid of very fine
ferrous particles. It removes
the iron chips from the milling
or grinding liquid. It is light
and compact structure having
strong magnetic power which
can remove very fine ferrous
particles. For precise grinding
operations uninterrupted flow
of oil is must. The coolant
magnetic separator ensures
the uninterrupted flow of the

WET DRUM SEPARATOR

Features
Wet drum magnets have high magnetic
recovery and
discharge.
The feed slurries recover the magnetics.
Available in single or multiple drum
applications.
Recover magnetic solids in as clean a magnetic
concentrate as possible .
The magnet / pole elements are bolted to a mild
steel
shaft.
The drum is made from thick stainless steel for
long
service life.
Wet drum separators are available in different
configuration like single drum, double drum and

Applications

Plastic industry
Mining industry
Food industry
Pharmaceuticals industry
Foundry industry
