FINE POWDER CLASSIFICATION BY FERROFLUID DENSITY SEPARATION |
摘要 |
<p>A method of separating small diameter non-magnetic particles of different densities by using a low magnetic saturation ferrofluid and a high magnetic gradient to produce levitation by overcoming the magnetic attraction of the particles. Application of a constant gradient field of a level below the magnetic saturation level of the ferrofluid forms the ferrofluid into a density gradient column. Each non-magnetic particle levitates to the level inside the ferrofluid having the same apparent density as the particle. The ferrofluid contains magnetic particles with a mean effective core diameter less than about 50 angstroms and a stabilizing agent layer on the particle exceeding about 50 angstroms. Perfluorinated carriers and surfactants are preferred for their relatively high intrinsic density.</p> |
