Intensity Magnetic Separator
As shown in Figure 13.2, minerals with ferromagnetic properties have high susceptibility at low applied field strengths and can therefore be concentrated in low intensity (<~0.3 T) magnetic separators. For low-intensity drum separators (Figure 13.11) used in the iron ore industry, the standard field, for a separator with ferrite-based magnets, is 0.12 T at a distance of 50 mm …
