Explain the method of separating magnetic constituents from a mixture

Open in App

Solution

Magnetic separation method involves using the magnetic properties of either the ore or the gangue to separate them.
The ore is first ground into fine pieces and then passed on a conveyor belt passing over a magnetic roller.
The magnetic constituent remains on the belt, and the non-magnetic constituent falls off the belt.
Ores in which one of the components is magnetic can be concentrated by magnetic separation method.
Example: Hematite, Magnetite
