Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to apparatus for separating ferromagnetic particles from a slurry, in which the slurry passes through a tunnel-shaped channel which is surrounded by a magnet coil the iron yoke of which is constructed asymmetrically in such a way that the magnetic field strength in the channel increases from the top towards the bottom.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
Apparatus for use in separating ferromagnetic particles from a slurry, said apparatus comprising a separator having an annular magnetic coil forming and encircling a substantially horizontal, tunnel-shaped channel through which the slurry flows, said coil enabling the production of a magnetic field which passes through the channel; and an annular, continuous, asymmetrical iron yoke encircling the magnetic coil and so arranged relatively thereto that the magnetic field strength in the channel increases from its top towards its bottom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
Apparatus for use in separating ferromagnetic particles from a slurry, said apparatus comprising a separator having an annular magnetic coil forming and encircling a substantially horizontal, tunnel-shaped channel through which the slurry flows, said coil enabling the production of a magnetic field which passes through the channel; and an annular, continuous, asymmetrical iron yoke encircling the magnetic coil and so arranged relatively thereto that the magnetic field strength in the channel increases from its top towards its bottom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein that part of the iron yoke located below the channel has a greater cross-sectional area than that part of the iron yoke located above the channel, and wherein the cross-section of those parts of the iron ground on opposite sides of the channel increases in a direction towards the bottom of said ground.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said separator occupies a position upstream from a stronger magnetic field separator.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 including magnetically permeable strips positioned at the base of the channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein said strips are formed of relatively weak magnetic material compared to that forming said iron yoke.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
Apparatus according to claim 4, characterized in that the strips are arranged at right angles to the direction of flow of said slurry and extend over the whole breadth of the channel.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
Apparatus according to claim 4, characterized in that the strips are mounted in slots and can be lowered for facilitating cleaning of the channel.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein said strips are arranged in two rows in a V-formation in such manner as to form a flow channel between the two rows.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
Apparatus according to claim 8 wherein said strips are arranged at an angle of 30° to 60° relative to the flow of said slurry.
