Abstract

1286488 Magnetic separation MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 5 Sept 1969 [20 Sept 1968] 44148/69 Heading B2J Eddy current forces are applied to conductive material by means of a first time varying magnetic field having a slow rise time and a second time varying magnetic field having a short rise time. The two fields may be periodic having the same frequency (low sonic) and either #/2 radians ahead or behind each other so as to generate attractive or repulsive forces of maximum magnitude with maximum economy. The first field may be sinusoidal and the second field of square wave or saw tooth shape (Figs. 2 and 5, not shown). The fields are generated by one or two electromagnets. Single or repetitive pulses may be employed (Fig. 5, not shown). The invention may be applied to separating conduction particles from a fluid such as a slurry (Fig. 1, not shown).
