Abstract

Language:

Traditional dry magnetic separation has poor separation efficiency for fine-grained materials, and combining airflow and a magnetic field may be one of the most effective means to improve it. Based on the pneumatic drum magnetic separator developed by our team, an improved pneumatic magnetic separator with a segmented flow field is proposed, which pushes materials to move along the separation surface. Analysis of flow field in the separation zone and the forces on particles show that the improved pneumatic magnetic separator makes it easier to collect fine magnetic particles, while nonmagnetic particles are more easily removed by airflow. Separation test results also show that the iron grade and the recovery of concentrate improved from 37.89% and 74.75% to 51.76% and 91.79%, respectively. The separation efficiency of the pneumatic drum magnetic separator has been remarkably improved by optimizing airflow field in the separation zone.
