  • This invention relates to a moving matrix magnetic separator, and more particularly to such a separator in which the field and flow are parallel and the source of magnetic field is located in the vicinity of the poles and BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
  • the process capacity of magnetic separators may be increased by the use of a moving matrix technique wherein the separation process may operate continuously as the matrix moves.
  • the feed flows vertically between a pair of horizontally spaced poles through which passes a portion of an annular matrix rotating in a horizontal plane.
  • the flow, field, and matrix motion are each in mutually perpendicular directions.
  • any increase process capacity also increases the distance or gap between the poles; and, conversely, any decrease in gap for the purpose of increasing the field intensity also results in a decrease in flow cross-sectional area.
  • a matrix in the form of an annulus is rotated about a horizontal axis.
  • the matrix moves through the working magnetic field volume or gap at the low point of its travel.
  • Feed is introduced at the inner diameter of the annulus at that point and pours through the matrix to exit at the outer diameter of the annulus.
  • it is difficult to provide a uniform magnetic field across the working gap in the area where the feed is submittedto the matrix.
  • uniformity could only be approached if the radius of curvatures of the inner and outer circumferences of the annulus were very large and if, in addition, the magnetic poles were curved on either side of the annulus to match the curvature of the matrix.
  • Such requirements would make an unduly large and expensive machine and even then the uniformity of the field provided would be less than optimum.
  • flow of the fluid feed is controlled by the force of gravity. If then the flow characteristics in the matrix along the direction of motion are to be uniform through a matrix which is rotating about a horizontal axis, the radius of curvature of the inner and outer circumferences of the annulus containing the matrix would once again have to be very large and the size would increase with increase in the process capacity and flow cross-sectional area of the device: uniformity of field and flow may be required for many applications to obtain an acceptable separation.
  • a rinse region is required, adjacent to the feed region within the working volume, an annular matrix of even larger radius would have to be used to preserve any sort of uniformity in flow through the matrix.
  • the use of gravity as the primary force for moving the feed and the rinse through the matrix limits the usable area of such a matrix to the bottom portion and perhaps the top portion.
  • Another disadvantage of the prior art is that typically one or more of the electric magnetic coils or other magnetic field generating means used to produce a magnetic field in the working volume or gap are located on a return frame remote from the working gap.
  • the field in the working volume or gap of an electromagnet is the sum of the direct energizing coil contribution (Biot-Savart effect) and the integrated dipole contribution, i.e., magnetizediron contribution of the proximate magnetized ferromagnetic I return frame.
  • an electromagnetic coil or any source of magneto-motive force (MMF) which is located remote from the working gap has some elements with direct contributions which detract, and some elements with direct contributions which add, to the magnetic field produced in the working gap.
  • the coil elements While in some arrangements most of the coil elements provide a positive direct field contribution to the magnetic field in the working volume, at least some of those elements provide a negative direct contribution which subtracts from the positive direct contribution leaving a net direct contribution to the field in the working volume which is less than the total field which can effectively be generated by that coil.
  • the direct field contribution of any coil element is increased by reducing the distance between that element and the working volume. Reduction of this distance also tends to reduce the cost of a source of a given MMF.
  • This invention results from the realization that in a moving matrix magnetic separator processing capacity is a function of the flow cross-sectional area of the matrix and that the intensity of a magnetic field between two poles of a separator is more a function of the distance between the poles rather than their cross-sectional area for a given MMF, and, that by making the direction of the field and flow parallel, the field intensity can be increased by decreasing the distance between the poles and the process capacity can be increased by increasing the flow cross-sectional area of the matrix each without detracting from the improvement gained by the other and the further realization that the field intensity provided by a given source of magneto-motive force in the working magnetic field volume between the poles can be significantly improved by locating the source of the magnetomotive force at or very close to the working field volume in such a way that all electromagnetic elements of the source produce a positive direct contribution to the magnetic field in the working gap and that further improvences can be effected by optimizing the uniformity of the magnetic field in the working gap or volume 3 and the uniformity of the flow in
