Abstract
A magnetic separator for separating relatively magnetic particles from relatively non-magnetic particles comprises a superconducting magnet providing a uniform magnetic field and a current carrying conductor dispersed in the field such that relatively magnetic particles are captured by the conductor. The current conductor is in the form of a matrix having either randomly, radially, spirally or parallelly set pairs of wires.
Claims16
A magnetic separator for separating relatively magnetic particles from relatively non-magnetic particles comprising
- a magnet providing a uniform magnetic field and
