  • Patent number: 4935122
    Abstract: A mineral separator system providing for the removal of conductor and semiconductor materials from a pulp fluid containing nonconducting materials. Pairs of spaced magnet assemblies provide alternate or successive magnetic fields obliquely across a separation chamber through which the pulp fluid flows. Eddy currents set up in the conductors cause the conductor particles to migrate to a wall in accordance with the orientation of the magnetic field. Electrical stimulation of the semiconductors through the pulp fluid causes the semiconductors to have eddy currents induced therein.
