High-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) is indispensably applied in the rougher separation stage of refractory weakly magnetic minerals. The most difficult problem while processing refractory weakly magnetic minerals is the low selectivity of HGMS caused by the competing capture of magnetic valuable and gangue minerals. In this study, a paramagnetic fluid is introduced into HGMS and an innovative method, termed highgradient magnetic separation coupling with magnetic fluid (HGMSCMF), with a significantly high selectivity is proposed. A new competing force (magnetic repulsive force) generated by the magnetic fluid will enlarge the force difference of valuable and gangue minerals and improve selectivity. The relative magnetic force acting on the magnetic valuable and gangue minerals can be adjusted by varying the fluid volume susceptibility, with the optimal fluid susceptibility approaching that of gangue minerals. HGMSCMF experiments on an ilmenite ore using paramagnetic MnCl 2 solutions showed that the selectivity was remarkably improved by increasing MnCl 2 concentrations (fluid susceptibility). The TiO 2 grade and mass of magnetic products could be simultaneously improved by increasing the applied induction in HGMSCMF, whereas in conventional HGMS, the TiO 2 grade and recovery decreased and increased, respectively. HGMSCMF is applicable to various matrices (or separators), and a significantly improved TiO 2 grade (close to that of industrial concentrates) could be obtained with only one-stage HGMSCMF. The recycling of magnetic fluid and cost economy of HGMSCMF are also discussed and analyzed. HGMSCMF presents several advantages over conventional HGMS and has great application prospects for realizing the clean and efficient utilization of refractory weakly magnetic minerals or materials.

The low separation efficiency of traditional mechanical flotation cells for galena flotation primarily was caused by the low collision probability between bubbles and fine particles and high detachment probability of coarse particles. A flotation device named Aerated Jet Flotation Cell (AJFC) was adopted to improve the separation efficiency of galena flotation. Reducing bubble size and optimizing turbulence distribution were respectively confirmed as effective ways to improve fine galena-bubble collision efficiency and decrease detachment probability of coarse galena. In AJFC, micro-bubbles in diameter of 0.1-0.3 mm were generated by forcing compressed air to pass through porous high-density polyethylene tube, and high shear rate and appropriate turbulence were provided by installing a sparger with holes at the end of downcomer. The key parameters, including sparger hole number, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), air-slurry ratio and superficial gas velocity (Jg) were optimized to achieve a desired separation performance of galena flotation. Separation efficiency of 62.54 % at a residence time of 2.25 min was achieved by AJFC, while separation efficiency of 59.12 % at a residence time of 7.5 min was achieved by mechanical flotation cell. Besides, AJFC had less loss of Pb in tailings than mechanical flotation cell in the whole particle size range, especially for fine (-25 µm) and coarse (+74 µm) size fractions.
