Magnetite Concentration Methods
The finished product amounts to 63.7 per cent. of the raw ore and carries from 60 to 62 per cent. iron. Ball mills are used for fine grinding. The magnets are excited by from 8 to 10 amperes at 35 volts. At Lomberget, Sweden, a magnetic-concentration mill employing the Forsgren separator has been in operation on magnetite ores since 1903.
