  • Processing of Mineral Products
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Chemical Engineering
DEF

A process in which a magnetically susceptible mineral is separated from gangue minerals by applying a strong magnetic field ...

CONT

Magnetic separation is the most used and probably the most efficient method of beneficiating iron ores ... The technique is based largely on the differing degrees of attraction exerted on various minerals when influenced by magnetic fields. It is applicable to the treatment of both coarse and fine particles, either wet or dry.

PHR

Wet magnetic separation.

Subject field(s)
  • Waste Management
CONT

... the Regional Solid Waste Management plan [of British Columbia] ... includes recycling, resource recovery, transfer, incineration and sanitary landfilling. The Coquitlam [resource recovery] plant design involved mechanical conveying, screening, size reduction and densification assisted by magnetic separation, manual sorting and computerized process controls.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

Le plan [de gestion des déchets solides] vise le recyclage, la récupération des ressources, le transport, l'incinération et la mise en décharge contrôlée. Le plan de l'installation de Coquitlam prévoyait le transport mécanique, le criblage, la fragmentation et l'épaississement, auxquels s'ajoutent la séparation magnétique ainsi que le tri manuel et la gestion automatisée des procédés.
