Abstract
Magnetic separation, which has been widely used in various industries (e.g., mineral and waste treatment) is an important part of mineral processing. In this study, the simulations of particle trajectories and the relationships between the main parameters in a dry belt-type magnetic separation system are presented. The magnetic field strength simulated by finite element analysis depended upon the vertical distance; the maximum strength was formed at a 0.31 m along the x-axis from a permanent magnet. Simulations of particle trajectories were conducted on ferromagnetic (magnetite), paramagnetic (ilmenite), and diamagnetic (quartz) materials, with variable parameters such as magnetic field strength, particle size, and degree of liberation. The simulation results showed that the key factors of magnetic susceptibility and field strength considerably affected the particle trajectory, as compared with particle size and specific gravity. Hence, the minimum magnetic field strength needed to separate magnetite and ilmenite could be obtained by the regression equation.문초록
