Abstract
A magnetic separator for separating magnetisable particles from a slurry is described. The separator includes means for establishing a magnetic field (10) in a separation zone. At least one separation chamber (12) with an inlet and outlet containing a fluid permeable magnetizable separating packing material, and, at least one compensating chamber (4) containing a magnetizable compensating packing, are linked and are movable such that movement of the separation chamber or chambers into the separation zone results in movement of the compensating chamber or chambers out of the separation zone and vice-versa. The magnetization characteristics and/or the demagnetization factors of the separating and compensating packings are substantially the same.
