Definitions

• This invention relates to a magnetic separator for minerals.
• the invention is particularly concerned with systems in which a strong magnet is used to separate magnetic particles from non—magnetic particles.
• the magnet is passed across a layer of ore or vice-versa so that the magnetic particles are attracted towards and become attached to the magnet.
• the magnetic portion of minerals in an ore may be removed but this method is not a continuous process and several passes are needed to complete the separation.
• a continuous process has been developed wherein a stream of mineral is allowed to flow some distance from the high field region of the magnet whereupon the magnetic fraction becomes deflected towards the higher field region whilst the non-magnetic fraction falls relatively unaffected. Such a process is described and claimed in Patent No. 2064377.
• each coil suffers a large repulsive force along its length and requires a very robust support structure. This has been found to be difficult to achieve in practice.
• the general object of the invention is to provide a magnetic separator which will operate efficiently and produce a cleaner separation than was previously possible.
• a magnetic separator in accordance with one aspect of the invention comprises a magnet positioned at an angle to the vertical and means for feeding a mixture of magnetic and non-magnetic particulate material at or closely adjacent the magnet in the region of high magnetic field so that the non-magnetic particles fall under the action of gravity only whereas the magnetic particles are diverted towards the magnet until the gravitational force exceeds that exerted by the magnet.
• This arrangement has the advantage that the feed point is close to the magnet. This means that all the particles can be made to pass through the regions of highest magnetic field allowing separation of weaker magnetics than that possible with the previous methods of separation.
• the ore feed position also results in the particles experiencing the highest magnetic field for a greater distance thereby increasing the efficiency of the separation.
• An additional advantage of the arrangement is that the inclination of the magnet to the vertical ensures that the magnetics and non-magnetics are pysically well separated.
• the angle at which the magnet is inclined to the vertical may be adjusted for a particular ore so that the strongest magnet particles follow a path which is parallel and close to the magnet. This prevents clogging on the magnet face.
• a belt is provided which moves past and closely adjacent to the magnet.
• the belt acts to remove any strongly magnetic particles which become captured on the belt face from the separation zone thus preventing clogging. This is particularly suitable for an ore whose constituents are not known with a great deal of precision.
• a splitter plate is provided in the lower portion of the falling particles paths to separate the stream of magnetic and non-magnetic particles.
• the particles are fed so that they fall past the belt and do not impinge the belt face This prevents weaker magnetics from bouncing away from the belt with sufficient momentum to fall into the stream of non-magnetic particles.
• the particles are supplied at a speed which is less than that of the belt thereby reducing the risk of entrapment of non-magnetics in the magnetic layer, since there will only be a thin layer of strongly magnetic particles captured on the belt face.
• the angle at which the magnet is inclined to the vertical may be adjusted for a particular ore so that the weakest magnetics within the ore follow a path which is parallel and close to the belt. This ensures that the separation between magnetic and non-magnetic particles is completely clean.
• a splitter or splitters may be provided in the lower portion of the falling particles paths to separate the particles according to degree of magnetic susceptability.
• the mixture of magnetic and non magnetic particulate material is fed from a hopper the outlet wall of which that is adjacent to the magnet being inclined to the vertical at the same angle as the magnet.
• the particulate material may alternatively be supplied from a hopper onto a plate inclined to the vertical, preferably at the same angle as the magnet, down which the material falls and is thereby fed adjacent the magnet.
• the mixture of magnetic and non-magnetic material may be supplied in a stream of fluid to the magnet which is supported in a separation chamber filled with fluid such that the magnetic separation zone is at least partially submerged in the fluid, the non-magnetic particles falling under gravity whereas the magnetic particles are attracted towards and captured on the belt which moves in a direction such as to carry them away from the non-magnetic particles until the gravitational force exceeds that exerted by gravity and the magnetic particles fall from the belt, the separation chamber being so designed as to allow separate collection of magnetic and non-magnetic particles.
• a magnetic separator in accordance with another aspect of the present invention comprises a linear superconducting magnet having a coil with two generally straight parallel sections joined by curved ends, the coil being supported by a clamp in a cryostat vessel with the longest axis arranged horizontally so as to provide a magnetic separation zone on one side of the coil and means for feeding a mixture of magnetic and non-magnetic particulate material to the magnetic separation zone.
• a potting medium suitably holds the coil windings.
• the feed means feeding the particulate material in the region of high magnetic field of the magnetic separation zone so that the non—magnetic particles fall under the action of gravity only whereas the magnetic particles are diverted towards the magnet until the gravitational force exceeds that exerted by the magnet .
• the magnet may be positioned with its sides horizontal and the magnetic separation zone below the magnet, and a belt provided which moves horizontally through the magnetic separation zone adjacent to the magnet and substantially at right angles to the long axis of the magnet, the particles being fed horizontally such that the non-magnetic particles fall under gravity whereas the magnetic particles are attracted towards and captured by the belt which carries them through the magnetic separation zone, until the gravitational force exceeds that of the magnet and the particles fall from the belt.
• This arrangement is particularly suitable when a high capacity process is required.
• the belt may move in the same or opposite direction to the direction of particle feed.

• Figure 11 is a sketch of a magnetic separator incorporating the magnet of Figure 7.
• a magnetic separator comprises a magnet generally designated by 2, preferably' a cryogenic magnet, and a feed means 4.
• the magnet 2 is inclined at an angle 3 to the vertical.
• the magnet 2 is arranged to create a strong magnetic field in such a way that any magnetic particles will experience a force at right angles to and towards the magnet i.e. in the direction of arrow 6.
• Dry particulate material to be separated is fed by supply means 4 at a point closely adjacent to the magnet but separated by a gap 8 therefrom.
• the feed means 4 which is described below is preferably adjustable towards and away from the belt.
• the material is fed at a low speed and non-magnetic particles fall under the action of gravity in a vertical path straight down from the feed means 4.
• the magnetic particles are attracted towards the belt and are diverted away from the non-magnetics. They therefore fall in a parabolic path away from the ore feed point.
• the magnetics pass through the magnetic " field until the gravitational force exceeds the magnetic attraction, at which point they fall under the action of gravity.
• the inclination of the magnet to the vertical causing the path of the magnetics to be physically well separated from the path of the non-magnetics.
• the ore feed point may be arranged so that the material is supplied within the highest field of the magnet. If the constituents of the mineral ore are well defined the inclination of the magnet can be set so that the strongest magnetic particles fall parallel and close to the face of the magnet to prevent clogging.
• a belt 10 which moves past and closely adjacent to the face of the magnet 2 as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
• the belt is supported on rollers 12. Any strongly magnetic particles will be captured on the belt and carried away from the magnet thereby preventing clogging of the magnetic separation zone.
• the belt preferably moves at a relatively fast speed so that there is only a thin layer of strongly magnetic particles captured on the belt thus reducing the risk on a non-magnetic particle being trapped within the magnetic particles. Even when the feed point is close to the magnet, the inclination of the magnet ensures a clean separation. In previous methods of magnetic separation the ore had to be supplied at a distance away from the highest field region and the resultant force on weakly magnetic particles was insufficient to divert them away from the non-magnetics'.
• the angle 3 at which the magnet is inclined to the vertical is preferably set for a particular ore so that the particles within the ore with the lowest magnetic susceptability are forced to move in a path parallel and closely adjacent to the magnet and/or belt . In this way it can be ensured that all the magnetic particles are removed from the particulate material.
• a further advantage of inclining the magnet at an angle to the vertical is that any non-magnetic particle scattered into the magnetic stream still has the opportunity of escaping. Obviously the greater the angle of inclination the greater the chance that non-magnetics will be separated out. Although this might suggest that the best arrangement is one in which the magnetic and gravitational forces are arranged in direct opposition i.e. a lifting operation as previously described, this is not the case since in such an operation the material and the magnet must be physically well separated in order to achieve separation of particles. Therefore weakly magnetic particles will not be cleanly separated out from the ore. Inclination of the magnet to the vertical provides for a compromise between exposing the material to a large region of high magnetic field, allowing any trapped non-magnetics to escape and ensuring that the particulate material is well separated.
• the angle 3 may be calculated from a simple vector diagram such as that shown in Figure 3.
• the magnetic force, represented by Fm, on a particle with the lowest magnetic susceptability in a particular ore is the product of the magnetic susceptability of the particle, the magnetic field strength, the field gradient, and the particle mass.
• Fg represents the gravitational force which acts vertically downwards and is the product of the acceleration due to gravity and the mass of the particle.
• the resultant force is represented by Fr and is arranged to be at right-angles to the magnetic force.
• the angle 3 may be readily calculated and the inclination of the magnet and therefore the magnetic field direction can be arranged so that the weakest magnetic material is constrained to move along the face of the magnet or belt thereby ensuring that all the magnetic particles are removed from the ore.
• the calculation outlined above is an oversimplification in that no consideration is given to the drop in magnetic force away from the magnet face or to other effects such as collisions.
• the assumption is made that the magnetic force is uniform and acts at right angles to the face of the magnet.
• a further assumption is that 'optimum' separation is achieved when the magnetic particles fall along the face of the inclined magnet or belt.
• the latter assumption is based on the fact that separation in this way will firstly increase the liklihood that any non-magnetics trapped in the magnetic particle stream will fall out and secondly produce a large physical separation between the magnetics and non-magnetics.
• the separator may for example be arranged so that an excess resultant force is produced, in which case the resultant force would no longer be at right angles to the magnetic force.
• the separator may be arranged so that the strongest magnetic particles follow a path parallel to the face of the magnet. Therefore it can be seen that for normal operation the inclination to the vertical can be easily calculated and arranged for a particular ore to ensure successful results.
• a mixture of bauxite ore and iron-beari ng impurities was separated using a magnetic separator with a vertical double coil magnet and a ramp arranged to feed the particles at some distance from the magnetic face, the particles being dropped from a height onto the ramp.
• the non-magnetic product contained 2% Fe 2°3 *
• the non-magnetic product in a single pass was 1.7% Fe2 ⁇ 3_ an improvement of 15%.
• the inclined magnet was found to give consistently better results over a range of particle sizes.
• FIGs 4a, b, c and d various embodiments of feed means 4 are shown.
• a hopper 13 is used which has one outlet wall 14 inclined to the vertical at the same angle as the magnet.
• This feed means ensures that the particles are fed closely adjacent the magnet face and is suitable for an arrangement where the inclination of the magnet to the vertical is small.
• a hopper of the type shown in Figure 4a cannot be used since the particulate material will not flow out of the outlet.
• the arrangements shown in Figures 4b and 4c are therefore preferably employed.
• the feed means 4 comprises a hopper 13 which supplies the particulate material to a flat plate 16 inclined to the vertical down t which the material falls and- is thereby introduced adjacent the magnet.
• the arrangement shown in Figure 4b is particularly successful since the plate is inclined at the same angle as the magnet and is positioned such that the magnetic material falls through at least part of the magnetic field region on the plate before being released This ensures that the particulate material falls close to the magnet over a long distance and therefore has a long residence time in the high magnetic field region which results in a cleaner separation.
• Figure 4d shows a further embodiment of the feed means 4 where a hopper 13 deposits the particulate material on a slowly moving belt 18. The belt then feeds the material at a point closely adjacent the magnet.
• a vibrating table may be used as an alternative to the belt as shown in Figure 1.
• the particulate material is preferably fed at a relatively slow speed so that it will have a long residence time in the high magnetic field region.
• Magnetic particles may also be separated from a stream of mineral ore suspended in a fluid, most probably water, with an arrangement similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2.
• Figure 5 and 6 both show a magnetic separator for such a process.
• the magnet 2 is supported within a separation chamber 20 which is filled with fluid 22.
• a stream of mineral ore in a fluid is pumped into the separation chamber 20 adjacent the magnet 2, in the direction of arrow 24.
• the non-magnetic particles fall away and are collected in a conically shaped portion 26 of the separation chamber 20.
• the non-magnetic particles are recoverable by means of a valve 28.
• the magnetic particles are attracted towards the magnet and captured by the belt 10 which carries them through the magnetic field region until they fall from the belt either into another conical portion of the separation chamber or, as shown in Figures 5 and 6 externally of the separation chamber in the direction of arrow 30. If the feed point is from one edge of the magnetic field region as shown in Figure 5, some weakly magnetic particles whose path is diverted slightly but which are not captured on the belt may be recovered from a second conically shaped collector 32 by way of a valve 34.
• the inclination to the horizontal of the direction of the magnetic force on a particle may be achieved with an inverted frustro conically shaped magnet in which case a magnetic separation zone will be provided around the circumference of the magnet.
• the magnet 2 comprises a linear race track solenoid mounted in a cryostat vessel 35.
• the solenoid coil 36 is shown in Figure 8 from which it can be seen that the coil 36 has two parallel straight sections 38 joined by curved ends 40. Another smaller coil could be provided inside the coil 36.
• the solenoid is held by a G or C shaped clamp 42 in a helium reservoir 41 which is conveniently at a temperature of 4K, the void between the coil windings being filled with a potting medium, such as epoxy resin.
• the coil is positioned with its long axis horizontally and the clamp 42 surrounds one side and two edges of the coil to provide a magnetic separation zone on the free side of the coil.
• the helium reservoir 41 is surrounded by two radiation shields 46 of which the inner radiation shield is preferably held at 16K while the outer radiation shield is preferably held at 60 K.
• the radiation shields are kept at these temperatures by cooling pipes 48 and are enclosed by a layer of super- insulating material 50.
• the cryostat vessel is closed by a front cover plate 52, which is made as thin as is practical, a rear cover plate 54 and two edge plates 56 to form a generally rectangular shaped magnet.
• the gap 56 between the straight sections 38 of the solenoid coil is 50 mm while the overall distance 60 between the outer windings of the solenoid coil is 180 mm.
• the distance from the side of the solenoid to the front of the cryostat vessel is 7 to 20 mm.
• the overall length 58 of the coil may typically vary between 150 mm and 4 m.. All these values are given by way of example only.
• the magnet 2 is powerful, robust and has a long range. Since there is only one coil, the cooling system can be arranged so that there are only minimal heat losses on all sides of the magnet except for the side which provides the magnetic separation zone. The clamp can securely hold the coil and its full theoretical field strength can be realised.
• Figure 9 shows a typical force profile of the magnet 2, the y axis representing the distance from the surface of the magnet and the x axis representing the distance from the centre line of the magnet.
• the lines 62 and 64 depict contours of constant magnitude force as would be experienced by a particle of particular mass and magnetic susceptability when it approaches the magnet, the force at 64 is less than that at 62.
• the magnet 2 shown in Figure 8 may be employed in the magnetic separator shown in Figures 1 and 2.
• the feed position shown in Figures 1 and 2 means the material is fed at 66 on Figure 9 and the ore experiences a much higher field than if it is fed at 68 as it would be -in previous methods of magnetic separation. Furthermore it can be seen that this higher field strength acts over a longer distance.
• the inclined position of the magnet therefore allows separation of even very weak magnetic particles.
• any magnetic particles trapped in the non-magnetic stream have a greater chance of being diverted since the force on them acts over a much larger portion of their path.
• the magnet 2 shown in Figure 8 may also be employed in the magnetic separators shown in Figures 10 and 11, where the magnet is supported with its sides horizontal.
• the particulate material is fed below the magnet into the magnetic separation zone by a belt 70.
• the feed direction is the same as the direction of movement of the belt 10.
• the magnetic particles are attracted vertically upwards and captured on the belt 10 which carries them past the magnet and away from the non-magnetics which simply fall under gravity.
• Splitters 11 may be provided either to separate magnetic and non-magnetic particles or, as shown in the drawing to separate the particles in fraction A, B and C by degree of magnetic susceptability.
• the magnetic separators shown in Figures 10 and 11 are particularly suited when a high capacity process is required because the long reach and high strength of the magnet designed as described above ensures that the magnetic particles will be lifted out even from a large mass of mineral ore.
• the magnetic separators described above are not limited to the separation of magnetic particles from an ore and may be equally successfully employed for other particulate mixtures from which it is desired to remove a magnetic component.
