Magnetic Separation in Mining and Mineral Processing

Magnetic Disc Separator across the conveyed mineral mix

Magnetic separators are commonplace in most mining and mineral processing operations.  However, the term ‘magnetic separator’ encompasses a diverse range of specialist separation equipment with the ability to separate widely different materials such as large tramp metal and paramagnetic minerals. Magnetic separators for the mining and mineral processing sectors are broadly differentiated into two ranges. …
