Abstract

An industrial magnetic separator with 0.5 m warm bore, 1 m effective length, 3.5 T central field superconducting magnet system, a high gradient reciprocating canister and corresponding slurry and control systems for kaolin clay purification has been constructed. Laboratory tests at different magnetic fields (1-3.5 T) and slurry velocities (0.5-3 cm/s) have been conducted. The results show the stable operation and the productivity of 3 t/h dry clay powder with 3.5-5 points brightness enhancement
