A novel high gradient magnetic separator (HGMS) for the separation of magnetic nanoparticle

To separate magnetic nanoparticles from aqueous solution a novel high gradient magnetic separator (HGMS) has been designed in this paper. In this separator, two stainless steel meshes, one in the sidewall and another in the centre of column have been situated. This unique design allows higher separation efficiency while prevents from higher pressure drop which is very common in the systems using wool as a filter. Two most important operational variables including flowrate and the strength of magnetic field have been optimized in this work. Nearly 100% of Nano-sized Fe3O4 can be separated via the proposed HGMS.
