magnetic separation
Ferrous material extraction
Magnetic separation is a method of sorting materials by exploiting differences in their magnetic properties.
In mining and recycling, magnetic separation extracts iron and other magnetic metals from ore or waste streams.
The technique ranges from simple handheld magnets to industrial drum separators: Magnetic separation removed the steel fragments from the shredded plastic.
