Drum Separator An Overview Sciencedirect Topics
As shown in Figure 9.2, when the iron ore slurry passes through the separating chute, magnetite particles from the slurry are attracted by magnetic forces to the surface of the drum, while gangue minerals are dragged down by gravity and water flow. These magnetic particles are then brought by the rotating drum to the top where the magnetic field is weak and close to zero, and they are then flushed
