Abstract
Particle trajectories of the newly-developed two-drum eddy current separators are simulated by the ECSIM software package. The simulation results have been substantiated by measuring the horizontal displacements of the particles to be investigated under the same conditions. It is shown that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Further, on the basis of the simulation results obtained, the potential for improving the design of two-drum eddy current separators is discussed. It appears that the performance of two-drum eddy current separators, when processing small particles, may be enhanced by strengthening the magnetic field intensity and simultaneously increasing the maximum drum speed.
