    Abstract:

    Steelmaking slag which is by-product of a steelmaking in steelworks includes a lot of iron in itself. To recover these irons, steelworks process the steelmaking slag with analogous separation methods from conventional mineral processing. This study proposes an efficient approach to dry fine particle separation using mechanical stirring by a fluctuating magnetic field which is generated by a magnet roll with multiple poles. The quick change of magnetic field generates strong agitation to attracted particles. Even if the amount of feeding is too much to separate, the fluctuating magnetic field would improve the efficiency of the separation. Moreover, the over all separation efficiency of this method was much better than a conventional device.
