Magnetic Separation

Outotec's advanced capability to optimize magnetic separator design and process parameters has benefited mineral operations worldwide. Our superconducting, permanent rare-earth and wet high-intensity magnet technologies have provided mineral producers more efficient and less expensive separation systems compared to most other options. Our magnetic separators are found in a variety of applications from enhancing the brightness of kaolin, improving the quality of ultra-high purity quartz, to beneficiation of coarse rock iron ores.

Magnetic separation equipment selection is primarily based on the magnetic susceptibilities of the minerals to be separated.
