Abstract
A continuously operating superconducting magnetic separator for the segregated separation of particles with different magnetic susceptibility from a mixture such as a mixture of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic ore and rock, in which the magnetic separator comprises a stationary superconducting magnet arrangement along with at least one carrier running through the magnetic field for the particles to be separated, which particles are moved by means of a conveyer chute through the magnetic field of large volume and past the carrier, which is in the form of a ferromagnetic grid, generating a field gradient and forcing the particles onto the grid, from which they are carried to appropriate collection devices.
