Objective
THE NEW TECHNIQUE IS BASED ON AN ENTIRELY NEW MAGNETOPHYSICAL PHENOMENON, I.E. THE REPULSION OF MINERALS AND OTHER SOLID MATERIALS WITH A PARTICULAR MAGNETIC STRUCTURE IN AN ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD.
THE AIM OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A PILOT-SCALE SEPARATOR AND TO EVALUATE ITS EFFECTIVENESS ON A RANGE OF ORE MINERALS WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THOSE WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO SEPARATE FROM ORES OR INTERMEDIATE CONCENTRATES USING CONVENTIONAL MAGNETIC SEPARATION TECHNIQUES.
THE NEW TECHNIQUE HAS CONSIDERABLE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL. FOR ANY MIXTURE OF MINERALS WHICH DIFFER IN MAGNETIC STRUCTURE BUT HAVE RATHER SIMILAR MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBIIITY THE NEW TECHNIQUE IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE A MUCH HIGHER SELECTIVITY THAN CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGY.
2 novel techniques of selective magnetic separation have been developed to different degrees. The alternating magnetic field (AMF) repulsion technique passed the batch stage and is ready to be transferred into continuous process. The second technique of selective magnetic separation in a low gradient field with restricted field components was tested and showed encouraging results. By virtue of the physics of the second technique its development will be undertaken directly in the form of a continuous process. The second, more attractive technique has greater technological scope and wider applications than the first. In situations where the first technique is applicable, conventionally inseparable materials could be treated more cheaply and efficiently. Both new techniques have the potential for magnetically separating difficult materials.
1. DESIGN OF A MAGNETIC SYSTEM GENERATING ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD WITH VARIABLE STRENGHT AND FREQUENCY.
2. STUDY OF THE ACTION OF THE ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD ON FERROMAGNETIC MINERALS.
3. DESIGN OF THE CONTINUOUS PILOT-SCALE SEPARATOR.
4. EXPERIMENTS WITH VARIOUS MIXTURES OF MINERALS AND COMMERCIAL CONCENTRATES WITH FERROMAGNETIC CONTAMINATIONS IN THE PILOT-SCALE SEPARATOR.
5. ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE NEW SEPARATION TECHNIQUE AND COMPARISON WITH THE CONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUE (BILLITON RESEARCH B.V.).
6. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A COMMERCIAL PROTOTYPE.
7. TECHNICAL AND ECONOMICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE NEW TECHNIQUE.
