1. System Overview
The magnetic separation equipment is specially designed for mineral separation. It is suitable for the extraction and purification of magnetic minerals such as magnetite, hematite, ilmenite, etc. (specific magnetic susceptibility ≥3.8×10⁵ m³/kg), and can also remove magnetic impurities in non-magnetic ores. It is suitable for wet/dry separation processes, with a processing capacity of 10-280 t/h, a concentrate recovery rate of ≥90%, and a residual magnetic substance in tailings of ≤5%, meeting the needs of efficient separation and maximum resource utilization in mines.
2. Core Process System
Pretreatment system
Crushing and grading: jaw crusher (coarse crushing to ≤100mm) → cone crusher (medium crushing to ≤30mm) → ball mill (fine grinding to ≤0.075mm, accounting for 90%)
Screening control: high-frequency vibrating screen (grading accuracy ±0.1mm)
Magnetic separation module
Sorting stage | Equipment type | Magnetic field strength | Applicable minerals |

Rough selection | CTG dry magnetic separator | 800-1500 GS | Strongly magnetic minerals (magnetite) |
Sweep selection | SLon high gradient magnetic separator | 10000-20000 GS | Weakly magnetic minerals (hematite) |
Fine selection | Wet drum magnetic separator | 400-1200 GS | Fine-grained embedded minerals |
Aftertreatment system
Concentration and dehydration: high-efficiency concentrator (underflow concentration ≥ 65%) → ceramic filter (water content ≤ 10%)
Drying and packaging: rotary dryer (hot air temperature 200-350℃) → fully automatic ton bag packaging machine

4. Advantages of magnetic separation process
Sorting efficiency
Strong magnetic minerals: single separation efficiency ≥ 95% (magnetite concentrate grade ≥ 68%)
Weak magnetic minerals: gradient magnetic separation increases recovery rate by 20-30% (hematite TFe ≥ 60%)
Energy saving and environmental protection
Dry sorting: 100% water saving, suitable for arid areas
Closed-loop water system: water resource recycling rate ≥ 85%
Dust control: pulse dust removal system (emission concentration ≤ 10mg/m³)
5. Typical application cases
Case 1: Indian hematite sorting line
Raw materials: hematite ore (TFe 48-53%)
Process: two-stage ball milling → weak magnetic-strong magnetic separation
Results: concentrate TFe 67-68%, recovery rate 95%, production capacity 15t/h
Case 2: Nigerian manganese ore purification project
Challenge: Manganese content 28%, fine embedded particle size (<0.5mm)
Solution: Crushing to 70mm → Jigging pre-selection → Strong magnetic separation (15000 GS)
Result: Manganese content of concentrate 41.23%, recovery rate 93.6%
Case 3: Pakistani coal powder desulfurization
Requirement: Reduce the sulfur content in coal (original sulfur 0.11%)
Technology: Wet high gradient magnetic separation (1.0T) → flotation sweeping separation combined process
Result: Clean coal fixed carbon recovery rate 98.7%, ash content ≤2.86%
6. Equipment Selection Guide
Select by mineral magnetic properties
