Electromagnetic separation

Electromagnetic separation is a technique used to sort particles based on their electric charge and mass by using magnetic fields. When charged particles pass through a magnetic field, their trajectories bend differently depending on their size and charge, allowing technicians to separate specific types of particles, such as isotopes of uranium. This method is precise and useful for purifying materials in nuclear fuel production and scientific research, leveraging physics principles to achieve efficient separation without chemical processes.
