An experimental-theoretical determination of the force and energy characteristics of the operating zones of magnetic separators

The dependences of the force of attraction of ferroparticles (spheres or bodies of irregular form) in a module of two opposed magnetic elements on the dimensions of the ferroparticles, the distance to the surface of the element and the spacing between them, are obtained experimentally and described functionally. Expressions are obtained for the boundary values of the specific ferroparticle capture energy in the threshold zone of the module, the velocity of its entrance into this zone and the free-fall height.
