METHOD OF MAGNETIC SEPARATION AND DEVICE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B03C1/08 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to dressing of minerals, particularly to wet magnetic separation. Proposed method comprises feeding pump, affecting it by nonhomogeneous magnetic field and discharging separation products. Pump is affected by preset-intensity magnetic field to make magnetic particles afloat on pulp surface and stay thereon and to be mechanically removed therefrom and flushed by running water. Proposed device comprises working tool composed of flute 1, magnetic system 2, feeder 4 and separation product receivers 5, 6. Besides, device is equipped with, at least, one dressed product remover 7 and separation plates 8 for uniform pulp flow distribution arranged in flute. Note here that said flute makes a discharge channel 9,10 while aforesaid feeder is provided with pulp feed system 13.

EFFECT: higher efficiency and selectivity, simplified design and higher reliability.
