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.

Minerals with ferromagnetic properties have high susceptibility at low applied field strengths and can therefore be concentrated in low intensity (<~0.3T) magnetic separators. For low-intensity drum separators 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 from the ...
