FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to a magnetic separation device and method for separating materials of differing magnetic susceptibility, and more particularly to such a magnetic separation device having multiple magnetic matrices.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION The invention features a multiple matrix magnetic separation device having an electromagnetic coil means for providing a magnetic field volume in the space encompassed by the electromagnetic coil means. There are a plurality of magnetic matrices stacked within the space encompassed by the electromagnetic coil. A plurality of flow control means are disposed between the magnetic matrices and one on each end of the stack of magnetic matrices. Each of these flow control means disposed between the magnetic matrices includes a distribution network for distributing the slurry to undergo magnetic separation to its corresponding adjacent magnetic matrix and a collection network for collecting the slurry from its other corresponding adjacent magnetic matrix after the slurry has undergone separation. The flow control means at one end of the stack of magnetic matrices includes one of the distribution and collection networks and the flow control means at the other end of the stack includes the other network. There are inlet means for delivering slurry to undergo separation to the distribution networks and outlet means for receiving from the collection networks slurry that has undergone separation.
DISCLOSURE OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Other objects, features and advantages will occur from the following description of a preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. l is a cross sectional diagrammatic elevational view taken on a diametric plane through a cylindrical multiple matrix separation device according to this invention.
FIG. 2 is an elevational diagrammatic view of the device of FIG. 1 with the ferromagnetic return frame omitted and with portions of parts of the device broken away to show the distribution networks and collection networks in the various flow control members and the inlet and outlet means which supply those networks.
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional plan view of a iiow control member taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2 exposing a typical distribution network and collection network.
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. l depicting a portion of the machine to the right of the center line showing an alternative embodiment of the invention.
The invention may be embodied in a multiple matrix magnetic separation device including a cylindrically shaped electromagnetic coil within which is disposed a plurality of magnetic matrices with interstitial iiow control members; the matrices are generally arranged in a stack and there is an additional flow control member at the top of the stack and at the bottom of the stack. Each of the interstitial ow control members includes a distribution network for distributing to its corresponding magnetic matrix the slurry which is to undergo magnetic separation and a collection network for collecting the slurry from its other corresponding magnetic matrix after the slurry has undergone separation. The flow control member at one end of the stack contains either a distribution network or a collection network and the flow control member at the other end of the stack contains the other of those networks. In the preferred embodiment the ow control members should be of ferromagnetic material. If, however, their thickness in the direction of the field is small compared to the thickness of the matrices they may be of a low permeability material and still satisfy the requirements of this invention. Provision is made for connection of an inlet means to supply slurry to each of the distribution networks and outlet means to remove the slurry from each of the collection networks. The magnetic matrix generally includes a ferromagnetic material such as steel wool, steel balls, or steel tacks enclosed in a canister which may be made of a stainless steel or other material of low magnetic permeability. The electromagnetic coil, multiple matrices and flow control members may be enclosed in a ferromagnetic return frame to increase the eiiiciency of the magnetic circuit. The technique of stacking magnetic matrices adjacent to each other to achieve a predetermined matrix area instead of using a single matrix of the same area may be employed to reduce the volume of the ferromagnetic return frame surrounding the coil. Each additional layer used in the stack to accomplish a particular area requirement reduces the diameters of the top and bottom portions of the return frame, the intermediate cylindrical portion and the electromagnetic coil and increases the length of the coil and cylindrical portion of the frame in the direction of slurry flow. The number of matrices used to accomplish a particular process capacity should Ibe optimized for maximum efficiency and in some cases it may even be determined that a single layer is the optimum configuration. But in those configurations wherein two or more matrices arranged in a stack provide greater efficiency than a single large matrix the multiple matrix separation device of this invention becomes a particularly useful and efficient device.
In alternative configurations, instead of one electromagnetic coil coextensive with all of the matrices, a number of electromagnetic coils may be used. For example, a number of electromagnetic coils equal in number to the number of matrices may be used. -Each electromagnetic coil is associated with a particular one of the magnetic matrices and the ow control members may be extended between and radially beyond the coils to provide an alternative means for connecting the distribution and collection networks with inlet and outlet means, respectively.
The electromagnetic coil or coils used in a device are not limited to the conventional variety: they may be superconducting or even cryogenic electromagnetic coils. If, for example, superconducting electromagnetic coils are employed, the costs of electric power used to generate these magnetic fields is no longer a critical factor and the added efficiency contributed by the return frame may not be signiticant. The return frame might still be used to achieve better magnetic field distribution, especially for large diameter to height ratio systems. However, if in any particular separation operation the optimum design produces a multiple matrix stacked array that is sufficiently narrow, i.e. is of a small radius, so that the increase of eliciency and field uniformity contributed by the return frame is no longer significant, the return frame may be omitted.
There is shown in FIG. 1 a multiple matrix magnetic separation device including a ferromagnetic return irame 12 consisting of disc-shaped pole pieces or pole sections, upper and lower portions 14 and 16, and a cylindrical intermediate portion 18 within which is disposed electromagnetic coil 20 which is cylindrical in shape. The pole sections, upper and lower portions 14 and 16, are ferromagnetic members of substantial mass located closely adjacent the matrices. Pole portions 14 and 16 by their size and positions provide a low reluctance path for the magnetic field whereby the major portion of the magnetomotive force (MMF) provided by coil 20 is presented by the pole portions 14 and 16 across the matrices and MMF drops in the rest of the circuit are minimized. The presence of the pole portions, particularly the parts directly above and below the matrices, ser-ve to concentrate the field and direct it through the matrices parallel to the direction of slurry flow. Centrally located and encompassed by electromagnetic coil 20 is a multiple matrix array 22 which includes in this specific embodiment four steel |wool magnetic matrices 24, 26, 28, and 30, each of which is contained in a stainless steel canister 32, 34, 36, and 3'8, respectively. Between each pair of these matrices are ow control members 40, 42, and 44, each of which contains a distribution network and a collection network, not shown in FIG. 1, but depicted in detail in FIG. 2. At each end of the array 22 are two more ow control members 46 and 48, each of which includes only one network, either a collection network or a distribution network, not here shown, but which appear in detail in FIG. 2. 'Ihe determination of which type of network each of ow control members 46 and 48 includes depends upon the direction of flow of the slurry through the matrices: if the ow enters the matrices from the lower side and leaves them from the upper side, then ow control member 46 contains a distribution network and iow control member 48 contains a collection network. If the slurry passes through in the other direction, the converse is true, as will be apparent from the description of FIG. 2. Inlet and outlet means for delivering and receiving slurry to and from the distribution and collection networks, respectively, are not shown in FIG. 1, but are shown in FIG. 2. The magnetic eld 50 provided by electromagnetic coil 20 passes generally vertically through array 22 in a direction generally parallel to the direction of slurry ow through the matrices. 'Ihe ferromagnetic return frame 12 which is useful to promote efficient use of the magnetic field 50 when the diameter of the coil is large and its length in the direction of the slurry liow is small, becomes less so as the multiple matrix device of this invention tends toward a smaller radius configuration: a coil longer in the direction of slurry flow but smaller in terms of radius. Such a reduction inuences the magnetic design such that in some cases the return frame, particularly the portion 18, may become of insubstantial value.
IEach of flow control members 40, 42 and 44 also includes a collection network 100, 102, 104 having ports 106, 108, connected to radial passages 112, 114, 116 which discharge into annular channels 118, 120, 122 which expel the slurry through outlet pipes 124, 126, 128, all respectively. Since the direction of slurry flow through the array 22 is upward from bottom to top, ow control member 48 also includes a collection network having ports 132 connected with radial passages 134 which discharge into annular chamber 136 that removes the slurry through outlet pipe 138. Ports 106, l108, 110 and 132 in ilow control members 40, 42, 44 and 48 correspond with ports 106', 108', 110 and 132 in canisters 32, 34, 36 and 38, respectively.
Although in the specific embodiment shown in FIG. 2 the slurry is fed into the matrices by inlet pipes which enter in the center of the array and is removed by outlet pipes which are connected to the periphery of the array this is not a limitation of the invention: the positions of the inlet and outlet pipes may as Well be reversed, or some of the inlet pipes may be at the center and some at the periphery and likewise with the outlet pipes, or all pipes could be at the center or at the periphery. Various other delivery removal schemes may be used without departing from the scope of the invention. Inlet pipes 58, 68, 76, 86 are connected in parallel to a source of raw feed and outlet pipes 124, 126, 128 and 138 are connected in parallel to an output line or other receptacle.
The distribution network 61 and collection network 102 in flow control member 42 is shown more completely in FIG. 3. Distribution network 61 includes eight passages 64, each of which contains six ports 62 that feed slurry to magnetic matrix 28. Each of passages 64 extends radially outwardly from annular channel 66 which is concentric with and located near the center of ilow control member 42. Annular channel 66 receives slurry from inlet pipe 68 disposed in bore 92.
The distribution and collection networks shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are but one configuration for such networks and many other designs and variations are possible. For example, ports may be added to annular channels 66 and 120. The channels and passages may be progressively reduced in diameter as the distance from the inlet and outlet pipes increases: the diameter of the channel 66 and passages 64 may be reduced as the distance from the inlet pipe 68 increases. Similarly, the passages 64 and channel 66 may equally as well operate as a collection network and the passages 114 and channel 120 operate as the distribution network. In addition, the generally radial design pictured in FIG. 3 is not a necessity to either the distribution or collection networks as any suitable rectilinear, curvilinear, or combinations of paths and shapes may be used.
The magnetic field 50', FIG. 4, need not be supplied by one single electromagnetic coil, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1, but rather may be supplied by a plurality of electromagnetic coils 150, 152, 154, and 156, stacked in the same manner as the matrices 24, 26, 28 and 30. In such an arrangement, the ve control members 40, 42, 44, 46, and 48 may be extended between and beyond coils 150, 152, 154, and 156 and directly connected to pipes 158, 160, 162, 164, and 166 which may, for example, be the inlet pipes, and a second set of similar pipes, not shown, may serve as the outlet pipes.
