Magnetic separation

Process of separating components of mixtures by using magnets

Magnetic separation is the process of separating components of mixtures by using a magnet to attract magnetic substances. The process that is used for magnetic separation separates non-magnetic substances from those which are magnetic. This technique is useful for the select few minerals which are ferromagnetic and paramagnetic. Most metals, including gold, silver and aluminum, are nonmagnetic.
