Abstract
A process and apparatus for separating magnetic particles from an ore material whereby an ore material intermixed with a liquid or gaseous carrier is fed through a separating zone acted upon by a magnetic field generated by a superconducting solenoid magnet. During passage through the separating zone, the magnetic particles in the ore material are attracted toward the periphery of the zone while the nonmagnetic particles substantially remain at the center whereupon each is then separately collected by mechanical means.
