Answer 1

• 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.
• The magnetic constituent fall in the bucket closer to the conveyor belt, and non-magnetic constituent fall in the bucket away from the conveyor belt.
