By creating an environment comprimising a magnetic force (Fm), a gravitional force (Fg) and a drag force (Fd) magnetic particles can be separated from nonmagnetic particles by Magnetic Separation. Magnetic field and magnetic gradient are equally important factors for creating  the magnet attraction force. Magnetic Separation - Competing forces • Gravitational force (Fg) determined by particle size and particle density. • Hydraulic force (Fd) for wet magnetic separators, determined by particle diameter, shape, liquid viscosity and velocity • Centrifugal force (Fc) for rotating dry magnetic separators, determined by particle size, density and drum speed. (see dry LIMS below.) • Air drag force (Fa) for dry magnetic separators, determined by particle size, density and air velocity. Magnetic Separation - Separator Types Wet Low Intensity Magnetic Separator • Wet separation of ferromagnetic particles • Magnetic field in separation zone * = 1-3 kGauss * ...
