Description

A Wet High-Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS) is a powerful and effective separation device used for the wet separation of paramagnetic materials from non-magnetic substances based on their magnetic properties. It is primarily employed in industries such as mineral processing, recycling, and environmental management for the purification and concentration of ores, removal of impurities from products, and recovery of valuable minerals.

The WHIMS utilizes a high-intensity magnetic field to separate materials based on their magnetic susceptibility. It is particularly effective in separating weakly magnetic materials from non-magnetic and strongly magnetic substances, which makes it highly useful in separating materials like iron ores, tungsten, rare earth elements, spodumene, and other minerals.

FUNCTION PRINCIPLE

Working Principle

The Wet High-Intensity Magnetic Separator operates on the principle of magnetic susceptibility, where the magnetic force exerted on materials is directly proportional to their magnetic properties. Here’s how it works:

  1. Feed Introduction:
    • The material to be separated, typically in the form of a slurry (water and material mixture), is fed into the separator. This slurry contains a combination of magnetic and non-magnetic particles.
  2. Magnetic Field Application:
    • The material flows through the high-intensity magnetic field generated by powerful electromagnets or permanent magnets. The magnetic field is typically generated using magnetic coils or magnetic discs.
  3. Separation Process:
    • As the slurry moves through the magnetic field, magnetic particles (such as paramagnetic minerals) are attracted to the magnetic surface, while non-magnetic particles pass through unaffected. The magnetic particles are drawn toward the magnetic field’s poles or attracting surfaces.
    • The intensity of the magnetic field in WHIMS is much higher than in conventional magnetic separators, which allows it to capture weakly magnetic minerals that would otherwise be difficult to separate.
  4. Collection of Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Fractions:
    • The magnetic particles are captured and collected by the magnetic field and then discharged through a magnetic concentrate outlet.
    • The non-magnetic fraction is discharged from the separator and can be further processed or discarded, depending on the application.
  5. Cleansing and Recycling:
    • The separated non-magnetic material is discharged from the separator, while the magnetic concentrate can be further purified, cleaned, or refined.
