Removal of Aerosol by Magnetic Separation

We concluded high gradient magnetic separation experiments of iron (ferromagnetic) nano-particles with a nominal diameter of 50 nm by using a superconducting magnet. In the experiment, we fabricated fine iron particles using a thermal reactive plasma method in argon and hydrogen mixed gas and sent them directly to the magnetic separator. We present the experimental results, functions of the capture ratio on the magnetic flux density, and velocity of flow. We conclude that high gradient magnetic separation can separate nano-particles and is useful for nano-technology
