A process for separating magnetisable and non-magetisable particles by means of a magnetic roll, characterised in that separation is effected in a liquid medium. Apparatus for use in the method comprises a liquid bath 2 within which the magnet roll 5 is disposed with the separation zone submerged, and chute means 8 for ducting a stream of liquid and particles to the magnet roll. The liquid flow rate is adjusted by a valve 4 to provide the desired particle feed velocity to the magnet roll. The liquid level in the bath is maintained constant by an overflow device 16. The particles are delivered into the liquid chute by a vibratory feeder 19. <IMAGE> |
