Aerodynamic Drum Magnetic Separator (ADMS) uses an adjustable air flow to enhance the separation of magnetic particles from gangue. In order to explore the matching relationship between the magnetic field, the flow field, and the gravity field, as well as the capture and separation behavior of particles under the action of multi-physics, a related simulation model is established using the finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics and the accuracy of the simulation results is verified by measurement, formula calculation, and magnetic separation experiment. The trajectories and capture probabilities of particles in different magnetic fields and flow fields are calculated, as well as the critical airflow velocity corresponding to a specific capture probability. In addition, the magnetic field characteristics and particle capture effect of N-S alternate arrangement and N-N homopolar arrangement are compared by optimizing the permutation of magnetic poles. This model may provide a reference for the accurate control of magnetic separation enhanced by a coupling force field.

It was recently reported that a UK company has developed a naturally non-toxic magnetoferritin to act as a draw solute for drawing water in forward osmosis process. The gist of this technology is the utilization of the magnetic nanoparticle and high-gradient magnetic separation for draw solute separation and reuse. However, any demonstration on this technology has not been reported yet. In this study, a feasibility test of magnetic separation using magnetic nanoparticle was therefore performed to investigate the possibility of magnetic separation in water treatment such as desalination. Basically, a magnetic separation system consisted of a column packed with a bed of magnetically susceptible wools placed between the poles of electromagnet and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle was used as a model nanoparticle. The effect of nanoparticle size to applied magnetic field in separation column was experimentally investigated and the magnetic field distribution in a magnet gap and the magnetic field gradient around stainless steel wool wire were analyzed through numerical simulation. The amount of magnetic nanoparticle captured in the separator column increased as the magnetic field strength and particle size increased. As a result, if magnetic separation is intended to be used for draw solute separation and reuse, both novel nanoparticle and large-scale high performance magnetic separator must be developed.

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on amorphous Fe-Si-B alloy magnetic particles were prepared. The influence of annealing treatment on stability and rheological property of MRFs was investigated. The saturation magnetization ( Ms) of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles after annealing at 550°C is 131.5 emu/g, which is higher than that of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles without annealing. Moreover, the stability of MRF with annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles is better than that of MRF without annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles. Stearic acid at 3 wt% was added to the MRF2 to enhance the fluid stability to greater than 90%. In addition, the rheological properties demonstrate that the prepared amorphous particle MRF shows relatively strong magnetic responsiveness, especially when the magnetic field strength reaches 365 kA/m. As the magnetic field intensified, the yield stress increased dramatically and followed the Herschel-Bulkley model.

The brake effect of the freestanding adjustable combination electromagnetic brake (FAC-EMBr) and EMBr ruler on the behavior of molten steel flow and the level fluctuation were investigated with the numerical method. The effects of the horizontal magnetic pole position (EMBr ruler), magnetic induction intensity, and casting speed on two types of electromagnetic brakes were studied. The numerical simulation results show that the magnetic field caused by the EMBr ruler is mainly distributed under the submerged entry nozzle (SEN), and it is very weak nearby the meniscus area. After the FAC-EMBr is applied, the magnetic field is mainly distributed in the area below the submerged entry nozzle, the upper roll region, and in the meniscus region. The application of the electromagnetic brake can effectively suppress the impact of the jet and decrease the molten steel velocity in the meniscus area. The brake effect of the EMBr ruler on the behavior of the molten steel flow and the level fluctuation is significantly influenced by the horizontal magnetic pole position. The increasing of the magnetic flux density can significantly increase the velocity of molten steel in the upper roll region and lead to an intense fluctuation in the steel/slag interface, as the horizontal magnetic field cannot cover the three key regions. The brake effect of the FAC-EMBr is less influenced by the variation of the process parameters due to the addition of vertical magnetic poles. Additionally, the “secondary braking effect” of the vertical magnetic poles can help to lower the increase of velocity in the upper roll region caused by the excessive magnetic induction intensity and the high casting speed. Therefore, even under the high casting speed conditions, the application of a new type of FAC-EMBr is also an efficient way to suppress the molten steel flow and level fluctuation at the meniscus area and decrease the possibility of slag entrapment.

According to researching the spin traveling wave pump, the relationship of the characteristics of magnetic fluid and the press is investigated under the spin magnetic field by the theory method. The relationship of moving, magnetic field and press is investigated by the decoupled computation between the magnetic field and force. The method is scientificity and rationality by the testing. The distributing shape of magnetic fluid in the pump is affected by the adding magnetic field under the spin magnetic field when the magnetic fluid is filled in the pump. At the same time, the adding magnetic field is affected by magnetic particles of magnetic fluid. The magnetic fluid can be moved by the effect of the adding magnetic field in the pump. The flux of magnetic fluid increases with the magnetic field.

AbstractBiodegradable magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using Poly(L-Lactic Acid) and magnetite nanoparticles (∼14 nm) at different dosages, and then these nanaoparticles (nanocomposites) and pure magnetic particles were targeted in external magnetic fields by changing the test parameters. The magnetic field test results showed that magnetic saturation, fluid speed, magnetic field distance and particle size were extremely effective for a magnetic guidance system that is needed for an effective drug delivery approach. Thus, it is assumed that such nanoparticles can carry drugs (chemotherapy) to be able to cure cancer tumors as well as many other diseases.

The interaction of two magnetic particles separated by an interlayer is illustrated through the "astroid" curves that represent regions in the magnetic field plane where different numbers of minima associated with stable or metastable states may exist. For a single particle, we describe the astroid curves of the Stoner-Wohlfarth model. The case of two particles is then examined and found to be much more complicated. The energy landscape of the two-particle system contains ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and canting states that emerge in response to the level of applied magnetic field. Because of this, up to four energy minima can exist in the system, depending upon the strength of the magnetic field and the material properties of the particles.

Magneto-rheological fluids (MRF) are commonly applied in MRF brakes and vibration damping. The apparent viscosity dependence with respect to the magnetic field has been addressed in detail in the state of the art. The aim of this paper is to experimentally study the vibration effects on the particle chain-like structures and, as a consequence, the shear stress variation applied to the fluid. Three vibration configurations have been applied to a ferromagnetic cylinder rotating between two magnetic poles filled with MRF a “Z-vibration” where the generated displacement is along the rotation axis of the shearing cylinder, a “θ-vibration”, tangential to the cylinder, and an “R-vibration”, normal to the cylinder surface. First we focus on the vibration mode characterisation in free air, and then when plunged in the fluid. In a second step, we measure the reactive torque generated on the clutch under different magnetic field intensities with different rotation speeds and vibration amplitudes. It appears that the “R-vibration” configuration is providing the most influence, up to 20% of torque reduction observed at moderate B field. The “Z-vibration” and the “θ-vibration” configurations respectively have less influence on the torque, nevertheless vibrations always tend to decrease the corresponding yield stress in the MRF.

Laboratory research on the mineral processing technique of a specularite ore from Baxi was performed, while the processes including gravity separation, low intensity magnetic separation(LIMS) -high intensity magnetic separation(HIMS)-gravity separation was adopted. The run-of-mine ore was milled till the -0.074 mm range accounts for 50% and treated through a LIMS – HIMS process, with the magnetic field strength of LIMS being 95.52 kA/m and HIMS,1.2T. As a result, an iron concentrate grading about 67.58% at a recovery of 96.21% can be obtained, which are rather good metallurgical performances. The iron concentrate with high grade also could be beneficiated by table separation, but its recovery is lower than it obtained from intensive LIMS – HIMS dressing.
