Effect of the Operating Parameters on the Magnetic Filter Constructed from the Granular Beds

Abstract

Abstract:In this article, magnetizing properties of the packed beds constructed from ferromagnetic spheres and chips were investigated experimentally in order to determine some effect of the separation efficiency of the magnetized granular beds. Effects of the external magnetic field intensity, filter length and cycle number on the effectiveness of electromagnetic filtration of both solutions were also investigated. It was found that the capturing capacity of the processed particles in the filter increases with increasing external magnetic field intensity, filter length and cycle number until the filter reached to its saturation at this point.
