After 1 h, a Co / Sm magnet is held to the outer wall of the vessel, whereby the solution is largely clarified.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour séparer au moins une première substance d'un mélange contenant cette dernière ainsi qu'au moins une deuxième substance. Ce procédé comprend les étapes suivantes consistant : (A) à mettre en contact le mélange contenant ladite au moins première substance et ladite au moins deuxième substance avec au moins une substance tensioactive, éventuellement en présence d'au moins un agent dispersant, ladite substance tensioactive se liant à ladite au moins première substance; (B) éventuellement à ajouter au moins un agent dispersant au mélange obtenu à l'étape (A) pour obtenir une dispersion; (C) à traiter la dispersion obtenue à l'étape (A) ou (B) avec au moins une particule magnétique hydrophobe de façon à provoquer l'addition de ladite au moins première substance, à laquelle s'est liée ladite au moins une substance tensioactive, et de ladite au moins une particule magnétique; (D) à séparer du mélange le produit d'addition, obtenu à l'étape (C), par application d'un champ magnétique; (E) à diviser le produit d'addition séparé à l'étape (D) pour obtenir de manière séparée ladite au moins première substance et ladite au moins deuxième substance.
