Device for separating ferromagnetic particles from a suspension

摘要

A device for separating ferromagnetic particles from a suspension has a tubular reactor and a plurality of magnets which are arranged outside the reactor, the magnets (9) being movable along at least a part of the length of the reactor (2) up to the vicinity of a particle extractor (5) by means of a rotary conveyor (8).

主权项

1. A device for separating ferromagnetic particles from a suspension, comprising:
a tubular reactor having a length; a particle extractor disposed adjacent one end of the tubular reactor; a magnetic separation device including an elongated revolving feed device and a plurality of magnets moved in a continuous loop by the elongated revolving feed device; wherein the magnetic separation device, including the revolving feed device and plurality of magnets, is arranged fully outside the tubular reactor; and wherein the revolving feed device is configured to move the magnets in a feed direction along at least a part of the length of the tubular reactor toward the particle extractor, thereby attracting the ferromagnetic particles (a) toward the particle extractor and (b) toward locations radially outward from a central axis of the tubular reactor; and at least one structure at or proximate the particle extractor for extracting the ferromagnetic particles from the radially outward locations.
