METHOD FOR CONTROL AND OPTIMISATION OF WET MAGNETIC SEPARATION OPERATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B03B13/04 B03C1/02 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to enrichment of minerals at ore-dressing and processing enterprises for processing of ore minerals, in particular ferrous metals ores. In order to achieve result, temperature is measured in enrichment products that come out of enrichment apparatuses, and water distribution of water among apparatuses is corrected to minimise difference of outgoing products temperatures between apparatuses. Additionally temperature of enrichment operation supply and make-up water may be measured. At the same time ratio of temperatures of supply, make-up and outgoing products is used to identify evenness of make-up water distribution among apparatuses and amount of make-up water.

EFFECT: optimisation of magnetic separation by means of control over proper distribution of make-up water in separate enrichment apparatuses supplied in parallel.
