The increasing demand for nonferrous metals in China made the recycle of metallic values such as copper and aluminum metals from solid wastes a prospective resource for nonferrous metals. Eddy-current induced magnetic separation as a friendly separation method may be effectively applied for the separation of nonferrous metals from solid wastes. In the present investigation, a pilot-scale eddy-current induced magnetic separator and its separation procedure was briefly introduced, and the magnetic force acted upon a metal ring is theoretically calculated; on the basis of the calculation of magnetic force, the effects of two key operational parameters, i.e., conductivity/density ratio of metals and frequency of alternative magnetic field, on the separation performance of the pilot-scale magnetic separator were investigated. The results of investigation indicate that the eddy-current induced magnetic separation is effective for the recycle of nonferrous metals from solid wastes.

The problems of processing iron ore tailings of wet concentration plants and wastes with high content of iron, contaminated by oil products are actual from both points of view of ecology and economy. One of the reasons restraining solving the problem is absence of technologies ensuring to involve such wastes into industrial turnover. In the process` of the research, composition and opening degree of ore and non-metallic minerals of concentration slime tailing of Magnitogorsk steel-works (MMK) were studied and technology of  their  concentration  was  elaborated.  Taking  into  consideration  the  contamination of  initial  slime  tailings of MMK, it was proposed to accomplish their preliminary de-sliming to remove vegetable remains and clay slimes by disintegration in a screw-toothed crusher and washing in a spiral classifier. Results of wet magnetic separation (WMS) of the initial slime tailings of MMK, made at JSC “Uralmekhanobr” presented, the slimes having natural coarseness of –2.0+0.0 mm. It was established that WMS at the magnetic field intensity of 1500 Oe ensures effective removal of magnetite, aggregates magnetite-hematite-goetite into magnetic product. Iron content in the magnetite concentrate was varying from 61.5 to 62.6%. For processing of slime tailings of MMK, magnetic separation was proposed by high-gradient magnetic separator with permanent magnets, created specially for these purposes by “ERGA” company. To increase iron extraction degree, it was proposed to apply gravitation methods of concentration of nonmagnetic product, obtained at high-gradient WMS. It enabled to increase iron content in the final magnetite-hematite concentrate up to 59%. A technological diagram of oiled slimes processing presented. Tests with oiled slimes of bottom deposits of metallurgical production under pilot-industrial conditions of MMK exhibited a possibility to obtain additional iron concentrate with total iron content of 62.47% while oil content in it was less 0.3%.

Test was made on separating iron from a ultra-low-grade vanadium titanium magnetite ore by a process of tailing discarding at a coarser size，staged grinding and staged low intensity magnetic separation. The results show that when the raw ore is treated by permanent dry magnetic separator with low intensity magnetic separation at 12～0 mm size，qualified tailings of about 20% yield can be discarded．The coarse concentrate is grounded in two stages. With the first stage grinding size being 45% -200 mesh and the second stage，75% -200 mesh，and then treated by two stage low intensity magnetic separation．As a result，an iron concentrate with a TFe grade of 65.80%and an iron recovery of 47.74%can be achieved．

Magnetic separation is often considered pertinent for manganese ore beneficiation when the ore is abundant with siliceous rich gangue mineral phases. However, the process is deemed to be inapposite for the ferruginous type of ore, and remains a grey area of research. In the present investigation, two different types of manganese ore were studied in detail to understand the influence of mineralogy on their magnetic separation performance. Detailed experiments were performed by varying the critical variables of the dry magnetic separator, and the separation features were studied. The ore samples were thoroughly characterized by various techniques, including an automated advanced mineralogical tool. The mineralogical results revealed that primary manganese bearing minerals in both the ores are rich in cryptomelene, pyrolusite, psilomelane, and bixybyite. Similarly, the major gangue minerals were alumina-bearing minerals and iron-bearing phases (hematite and goethite). The optimum grade that could be obtained from single-stage dry magnetic separation was 35.52% Mn, and with a Mn:Fe ratio of 1.77, and 44% Mn recovery in the case of sample 1; whereas, a 33.75% Mn grade, with a Mn:Fe ratio of 1.66 at Mn recovery of 44% was reported for Sample 2. It was observed that both samples had a similar input chemistry (~28% Mn, ~1 Mn: Fe ratio) however, they had distinctive mineralogical assemblages. Furthermore, it was observed that the liberation of manganese mineral was in a course size range, i.e., 300 to 450 µm, while the association of iron and manganese bearing phases was lower in sample 1 when compared to sample 2.

This study, focused on the beneficiation of a Nigerian complex chromite ore sourced from Tunga-Kaduka, Anka Local Government of Zamfara State, Nigeria, assaying 45.85% Cr2O4 and 54.15% mineral impurities, was enriched concurrently through sink floatation and magnetic separation techniques. The chromite ore initially analyzed to contain silicate impurities was found not suitable for metallurgical purposes. Thus, enrichment was examined through gravity separation studies using organic liquid with different specific gravities at 2.8, 3.3, and 4.0. The separation of chromite ore with lowest particle size fraction was done using Mozley mineral separator followed by the magnetic separation of the sink product by magnetic separator. The results obtained revealed about 77% of the total material containing 300 μm particle size, 52% ˂ 212 μm and 17% below 75 μm. Subsequent analysis of the beneficiated ore was carried out by wet chemical analysis and atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that Cr2O4 content increased to 78.34% from initial 45.83% with maximum Cr:Fe ratio of 3.2:1, representing 84.27% of chromium metal present in the ore. The enrichment of Cr2O4 obtained in this study could be found metallurgically applicable in the electro-deposition and ferro-chromium alloy production practices.

Image analysis data obtained from scanning electron microscopy provided data for a detailed evaluation of the separation efficiency for various processes involving the beneficiation of particulate materials. A dry magnetic separation by a drum type magnetic separator served as a case study to visualize effects of processing of a skarn ore with a high content of cassiterite as ore mineral (~4 wt%). For this material, iron oxides and silicates are the main gangue mineral groups. Based on the obtained data, partition curves were generated with the help of local regression. From the partition curves, the separation efficiency was evaluated and the relevant particle properties deduced. A detailed analysis of the bias of the quantitative mineralogical data is presented. This bias was monitored and further analyzed in detail. Thorough analysis of feed and products of magnetic separation enabled identification of the most important factors that control losses of cassiterite to the magnetic product, namely the association with iron oxides and particle sizes below ~40 µm. The introduced methodology is a general approach applicable for the optimization of different separation processes and is not limited to the presented case study.

The use of functionalized magnetic particles for the detection or separation of multiple chemicals and biomolecules from biofluids continues to attract significant attention. After their incubation with the targeted substances, the beads can be magnetically recovered to perform analysis or diagnostic tests. Particle recovery with permanent magnets in continuous-flow microdevices has gathered great attention in the last decade due to the multiple advantages of microfluidics. As such, great efforts have been made to determine the magnetic and fluidic conditions for achieving complete particle capture; however, less attention has been paid to the effect of the channel geometry on the system performance, although it is key for designing systems that simultaneously provide high particle recovery and flow rates. Herein, we address the optimization of Y-Y-shaped microchannels, where magnetic beads are separated from blood and collected into a buffer stream by applying an external magnetic field. The influence of several geometrical features (namely cross section shape, thickness, length, and volume) on both bead recovery and system throughput is studied. For that purpose, we employ an experimentally validated Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical model that considers the dominant forces acting on the beads during separation. Our results indicate that rectangular, long devices display the best performance as they deliver high particle recovery and high throughput. Thus, this methodology could be applied to the rational design of lab-on-a-chip devices for any magnetically driven purification, enrichment or isolation.
