Magnetic classification in wet-mode: Proofs of concept, and applications
Resumo (PT):
Abstract (EN):
We have developed recently an indirect proof of concept (POC) of magnetic classification in wet mode.
This POC, was accompanied by another one, concerning fundamental background theory and simulations.
Both POC’s proved the feasibility of the process and specially have allowed to determine the influence of some
of the force balances and some of the main parameters in fluid media. Based on the preliminary results we are
now ready to develop, design and control a larger scale device for future applications, and to strength the proof
of concept by direct determination.
Bearing in mind the systems and trajectories obtained we were able to conclude that magnetic
classification was able to be achieved with the classes differences shown in Table 1.
Developing this processing techniques allow us to selectively separate and purify several substances at
the same step and in the same device, especially in what concerns biomedical applications (ranging from
diagnostics until treatment of diseases), mineral processing, water treatment and recycling, as modern
technologies are still very limited regarding this goal. The main applications and the improved given by
magnetic classification will be also detailed.
