Potentialities for beneficiation of rare metal ores using high magnetic fields

Concentrating Dilute Sludge Wastes with High-Gradient Magnetic Separation: Breakthrough Experiments and Performance

“…Since then, a great deal of attention has been placed on this separation process because of its particular ability to retain and segregate particles of relatively weak magnetism and microscopic size. For example, HGMS has other proven applications in the beneficiation of minerals such as coal, ,− tin, , bauxite, and rare metal ores. , It also has proven applications in waste reclamation and recycling and in the ultrapurification of chemical refractories and powders. − Other applications of HGMS include environmental remediation and nuclear waste treatment, ,− particularly as a downstream collector of magnetically seeded nonmagnetic particles and ionic species. ,,,− An excellent example of this kind of HGMS technology is the SIROFLOC process . The versatility of HGMS has also allowed for its expansion into phase separations, ,− as well as into more novel uses such as the separation and segregation of biomolecules and cells by using bio-labeled magnetic carriers, − a growing area.…”
