MAGNETIC SEPARATION N. Chakravorty
magnetic separators and the principal ferromagnetic mineral separated is magnetite (Fe304),although hematite (re203) and siderite (FeCO3) can be roasted to produce magnetite and hence give good separation. The removal of "tramp" iron from ores can also be regarded as a form of lowintensity magnetic separation. The unit of measurement of magnetic flux density or magnetic induction (the .
