The magnetic collection of fine particles requires a high-intensity, high-gradient magnetic field. An electromagnetic matrix-type separator, referred to as a magnet filter, has proven to be the most effective method of separation. This type of separator utilizes a high-intensity electromagnet and a flux-converging matrix. The matrix amplifies the magnetic field and provides high-gradient collection sites for the magnetic contaminants. A line of permanent magnetic filters is also available.

The coil generates a uniform magnetic field throughout the bore. A stack of expanded metal discs (termed matrix) is packed in the bore of the coil and is induced by the magnetic field. A typical matrix will consist of 20 to 40 medium-grid (1/4 inch [6mm), 18 gauge) expanded metal discs reaching the height of 6 inches (152 mm). The matrix amplifies the background magnetic field, produces localized regions of extremely high gradient, and provides the collection sites for paramagnetic-particle capture. As feed material filters through the matrix, the paramagnetic particles are captured and consequently removed from the particle stream.
