High gradient magnetic separation

High Gradient Magnetic Separation (HGMS) is a technique used to remove tiny magnetic or magnetically susceptible particles from liquids or mixtures. It works by passing the mixture through a magnetic field created by a strong magnet with a fine ferromagnetic wire mesh. The magnetic field attracts and captures the targeted particles, which are typically too small to be separated by ordinary magnets. HGMS is commonly used in environmental cleanup, mineral processing, and recycling to efficiently extract valuable or unwanted materials from a mixture, ensuring cleaner final products or environments.
