Question

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
