The most strongly magnetic mineral found in nature — 64% Fe min, ≥96% magnetic content. Preferred for DMS coal wash plants and HMS recycling operations.
Magnetite is a mineral whose primary component is an iron oxide that contains equal amounts of iron(II) and iron(III). Magnetite is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, and is one of the most common minerals in the earth's crust.
Magnetite has a black, opaque appearance with a submetallic to metallic finish. Its Mohs hardness is between 5 and 6.5 and it is often found in isometric crystal forms. It is the most strongly magnetic mineral found in nature and is attracted to common magnets.
With its natural high density and magnetic properties, Magnetite is the preferred choice for coal wash plants (DMS — Dense Media Separation) and recycling plants (HMS — Heavy Media Separation). Milled magnetite particles are suspended in water to separate coal or precious metals from gangue rock and other impurities. The magnetite is then recovered by means of a magnetic separation process to be reused.
Magnetite products are also used as a primary iron source for making Ferric Chloride and Ferric Sulphate flocculants and coagulants to treat wastewater, effluent, and potable water.
Two standard grades available for different separation process requirements.
| Product Code | Fe Content (min) | Density (min) | Magnetics (min) | Sizing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RawMag1 | 64% | ≥ 4.8 t/m³ | ≥ 96% | 95% passing 45 micron |
| RawMag2 | 64% | ≥ 4.8 t/m³ | ≥ 96% | 85% passing 45 micron |
