In the mining industry, ferromagnetic particles (e.g. magnetite) are concentrated using wet low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS). Mineral particles in suspension with water are pumped into the separator tank, and a magnetic concentrate is extracted by use of magnetic forces. The performance of t...
