Investigation of the effect of several parameters on the applicability of magnetic separation method

Purpose. This research investigates the separation process performed by a magnetic separator. The is used to isolate ferrous materials from those which are not. Hence, prototype of dry separator designed. It should be said that this study defines effect different parameters (roll speed, force, and mass silica sand particle) on efficiency. Methodology. influence several such as centrifugal properties particle (mass, shape, etc.) were studied theoretically simulated SolidWorks software. optimum conditions obtained, trials find point results in lower roller speed higher force order achieve separating Findings. show most important variable influencing Moreover, it was found blade angle magnitude (174) degree with between (1.71E-05 6.3E-05 N) roll (84 105 rpm) reach rate process. Originality. first time gap distance magnet feeding particles has been studied. Furthermore, investigated numerically compared for parameters. Practical value. new design unit promising efficient since can varied based type characteristics materials. also revealed reduced. construction recommended industrial applications.
